Getting back to some easy lawn care basics, in this video I wanted to give you guys some advice on cutting your lawn the right way during the hot summer months. This is a little bit of a change from my normal lawn mowing advice that I give.

Keep in mind, we don’t want to add any undue pressure to the turf. It already is getting pressure from heat, lack of rain, insects, fungus and other things. By only cutting off just a little bit each week, we are not going to add any stress. Lawn care is simple.
Now if your lawn is still growing at a super high rate during the summer, then you are using the wrong fertilizers. We want the lawn to be green, just not super growing, if that makes sense. You can get my lawn fertilizer program here.

It is that time of year where Japanese Beetles will be munching and crunching on your delicate roses and other shrubs and trees. In this video blog post, I show you how to identify the Japanese beetle, as well as tell you what to spray and show you how to spray it as well. Easy and simple…now watch the video and then look below.

Thanks to my Dad who played “spray model” in this one. Those are his knockout roses that were infested with the Japanese beetles. If you are viewing the blog in the email newsletter, please click the title above to come to the site and view it. I get some nice closeups of the beetles on this one!

Here is an organic/natural/green insecticide choice that I would also endorse for killing Japanese beetles. Get a couple bottles guys… this is not a concentrate. It is pre-mixed in a small spray bottle.
