This is the program I will be using for my 2015 lawn care. This system was developed by Allyn Hane (The Lawn Care Nut on Youtube), and is fully covered in his very detailed videos. Below are my condensed notes from his videos. I encourage everyone who wants a beautiful lawn to watch not just these videos, but all his videos. Links will be in the footnotes of this page.
