I am putting together a lawn blog and came across yours. Good job! I was hoping to to get a feed of your podcast to have on my blog (crediting you of course). Is this possible and if so, how?
Thanks,Thomas

I enjoy your podcasts thoroughly and am anticipating more if that is possible. I actually wish you did them weekly.
Here are a few topics I would love to hear about. Also, is there any way to make them longer.
Disease Management (Especially brown patch, necrotic ring spot, and summer patch)
Dethatching compared with core aeration
How to spot pests (maybe disease and/or insect damage compared with heat stress)
Organic lawn care or IPM
How much nitrogen to put down per year with what types of grass types
How to read a soil test
I have many more…
Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Those are absolutely great topics, and look forward to seeing (or hearing) some of them soon.
Weekly is hard to do, I barely have time to try to get them out bi-monthly. I would love to be able to do more, but I’ve got a real job to keep food on the table.
Thanks for the encouragement to do more.

i was wondering when the next podcast will be? it has been a while since your last one. you should do a few per month.
here are some topics i think the audience would like to hear more about. you may touched on some of them, if so, sorry.
compost teas
organic fertilizers and lawn care
billbug id and treatments (preventative and curative)
drought resistant grasses
tips on aeration/overseeding or slice seeding
hiring workers
i have plenty more, but figured that is a good start. thanks

Matt,
Your very right, I just realized I haven’t touched this at all since early December and there are many things I should be talking about.
Unfortunately I have changed positions at the company I work for and now have a much longer commute that has taken away from my “free time”. I hope in the near future I will be able to get back on the wagon and continue the growth I had last year.
