It's Critical GO TIME For Your Lawn

by Allyn Hane

Wait for it ... wait for it ... Yes, it’s once again time for me to appeal to your inner Izzy Mandelbaum and implore you to get out and get nutty, and do it now!But before I do that, did you see this week’s video? I’m talking to all of you right now, Warm Season, Transition and Cool Season.In that video, I show you how to bucket test a battery-powered sprayer (or any sprayer really) and in doing so, figure out how to lay down a consistent liquid application across the lawn. It’s an important lesson to learn so you can be sure that your applications are effective while also being responsible and following label directions.In other words, if you’re going to squirt, you want it to work!Speaking of that, check out this early morning manual lawn squirting I got done today. That’s really my first tip and it’s to you warm season folks: get out and manually water spots...

Lawn Care In The First Days of Spring

by Allyn Hane

What’s up lawn lovers! How is that daylight savings time working out for you on this very first day of Spring? Here in Southwest Florida, the sun is setting right about 7:45 PM or so which is great, but what’s even better is sunrise comes late at about 7:45 AM… meaning I can get up and see it!Here’s one from my favorite spot in downtown St Pete, FL, overlooking Tampa Bay. Regardless of daylight savings time and our clocks, the days are definitely getting longer. Longer daylight hours mean more time to #EnjoyTheMow because your lawn is grabbing more sunlight for photosynthesis. The days are now over 12 hours long here as of just the last few days. Check out this cool (eye) chart I got from here. Today, the first day of spring, my daylight will last 12 hours, 7 minutes. If you look at just a little more than a month later, end of April (April 30), that’s...

Spring prep, warm season, cool season and transition zone lawns

by Allyn Hane

Question from the field: “Allyn, if I apply my pre-emergent and get a heavy downpour right after, did it all wash away?” This is a tough one to logic your way through. I totally understand the feeling that have about it. You really need it to work and are wondering if you should re-apply.

Last Chance to Throw'er Down! [New eBook]

by Allyn Hane

What’s up ya’ll, hope you’re having a successful week! This post is going to be long, so pack a lunch. Let’s lead off with soil temps and pre-emergent windows. As you know, I’ve been flogging my pre-emergent guide all over the internet the last 6 weeks, and in that guide, we talk about exactly what to put down on the lawn to prevent nasties like crabgrass, foxtail, poa annua... even doveweed and kyllinga.I started early with that this year so you could literally, get ahead. Get your products in stock in the garage and ready for deployment on the slightest notice.Well, for a good majority of you, consider this your final warning, it’s go time. The reason I know this is because I can see the soil temps where you live and I’m telling you… it’s GO TIME! In my video this week, I talked about soil temps (briefly) and exposed you to this tool that allows you to put...
