You should add the iron first prior to the urea, reason being is that when the urea is added to the water the reaction lowers the water temperature, and like you said, higher temp water will allow the iron to disolve better. I just added 3.5 lbs of 46% urea to 1 gallon of water. Water temperature went from 92 degrees to 50 degrees. If you ever played sports as a kid and was injured, the instant cold packs that are used are made of urea and water. Great video! Thanks 😃
Super Tech brand Diesel Exhaust Fluid from Walmart is $10 for 2.5 gallons. That stuff is just water and urea with an analysis of 15-0-0. I have yet to find liquid chelated iron from a big box store but you can get granulated ironite.
For real, I spend hours every day keeping my lawn nice and low, and green, neighbors on both sides have nutsedge and crab grass and 4 inch tall Bermuda and it drives me up a wall
I wet down the driveway and sidewalk edges a couple of feet from the grass edges right before I start spaying the liquids...helps if you go over the edge during application. That way it hoses off easier and leaves less of a mess.
@@2glhudson low end is 10-11 oz of DEF per gallon of water. 1 gallon of mixture per 1000 sq ft. The jackpot micro nutrients is 1 oz per gallon. The PGR I use is .3 oz per gallon.
@@CrazyManwich Thank you. Now to figure out the sprayer once it arrives. It has a variable psi adjustment. I’ll probably start off with psi adjuster turned down a 1/4 the way or even half way to make sure I don’t over add it the mixture.
If you use the granule iron with a spreader, the iron will last longer. I spread it four times a year and to keep that grass greener longer, you have to cut it higher. The lower you cut, less green color and won't last as long, I'm in Southwest Florida.
You know your stuff brother!! Live in Stuart Florida my whole life. Been doing this trade for a living going on 18 years now And with that being said you teach me new things every video I watch of yours!! Props on your knowledge and thanks for sharing it with us
Idea for a video: What if you tested in a small area and did almost everything "wrong" when spring seeding? - Plant now instead of earlier in the spring - Don't pre-germinate - Use KBG instead of rye of fescue - Don't work seed into the soil or apply a top dressing - Don't use any preemergents or starter fertilizer Basically just lay the seed down and keep up with watering and that's it. Maybe even compare to another path where everything was done right. Then compare in early summer to see how they are both doing.
I may do a different version of what you're saying here. I appreciate the suggestion. Please leave more suggestions for videos if you have them. I'm always open to ideas!! Thanks man!
Impressive lawn .Thanks for your ideas,people will have a beautiful lawn full of green soon, I like you video. Just for who need SEBOSS hardware cloth,1/2,1/4 opening ,19 GA, Hot dip galvanized after welding, double galvanized, strong and sturdy, delicate and beautiful, suitable as gopher wire, protect lawn/garden from all kinds of gophers.
I appreciate that man! Teach me how to get those laser straight stripes you seem to always get. Not kidding. Thanks for tuning in. I appreciate the support!
Thanks for the video. Will be doing this. A few questions…..how often should I be doing this? What is that lawnmower you’re using? Last, do you cut the grass that short when it’s really hot? If you do why doesn’t it burn up? If watering is your answer, how mush water?
Thanks bro. For this experience, it’s awesome! I guess you like your grass low! It’s apparently! You said it! 5/8 of an inch. It’s golf course grass for sure. I guess you practically play you golf every day if you want to!!! 🤩👍
What mower do you use and what attachment do you have to get the nice lines on your lawn? Do you cut up and down then diagonally the next cut? What’s your pattern method throughout the year?
As Monty Python was in search of the Holy Grail I'm in search of getting a dark green lawn: FOR YEARS! And I try to keep it at 3-inches in an attempt to fend off pests and weeds and funguses. You are the first introduce me to PGR so I'll have to look into it. ====================== In your situation with growing the grass so short, would you be better off treating your grass like a golf course or a soil that's very Sandy where you reduce the quantity supplied at a given time but you make more applications in the same calendar span of days.
Pest & Lawn Ginja on RU-vid has also said in one of his Productions that the post-mortem of the examined sample if lawns afflicted with fungal infections, too much Urea was used in each case. I'm just notifying.... Most everything I have purchased in the past before finding this out has Urea in it to keep the cost down.
I live in the desert southwest where we really shouldn’t even be growing lawns, but some of us do. Seems that keeping the grass a little shaggy and taller than usual keeps a greener look….Is it better to keep grass mowed? Afraid to do it too often because of the 100+ degree sun…
So 3 questions, is it better to spray the cocktail after Mowing?! how often you have to spray it !? And last , is it better to water it right after or wait 24 hrs to let it soak ?! Thanks , great info !👍🏼
Yes, after mowing would be best. You can spray this cocktail once every 4 weeks if using pgr. If not, every 2 will be fine. After 4 hours of sitting on the leaf blade you can wash it off. Thanks for watching!
I really enjoy your videos and I think your right on with your content and your methodology. I did have an idea that might be helpful in regard to showing the effects of your cocktail. You might want to try placing a piece of cardboard about 12” x 12”’or any other shape for that matter, on the lawn to see a clear 360 degree comparison of the look you get with or without the treatment. Once again, great job and keep them coming. :)
I was thinking of mixing 3 liquids together, 2 ounces of DEF, 2 ounces of Magnesium Sulfate, and 2 ounces of Chelated Iron per gallon of water. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated on amounts and combinations I plan on using. Maybe adding a Surfactant and Green Dye to this too.
I have been using ammonium sulfate, Iron and trinexepac ethyl for 2 years now.The dark green result is absolutely real. Btw, chelate is pronounced "kee-late" not "chee-late" Also, if you have the time, apply iron weekly. My front lawn is only 1,500 sq ft so I apply iron weekly at a lower rate. It keeps the color much better even when cutting under 1".
Thanks for that, I actually looked up how to say it before the video and youtube lied to me. Should've used the American dictionary instead 😂. I want to try ams but my pH is low as it is. Maybe one day for fun. I hear it does great greening up the grass! Thanks for tuning in!
Hey I did everything to the T with your directions for the getting your lawn dark green in 24 hours. I even bought all the same ingredients to used and I didn't get any greener lawn. Why? Can I use a fertilizer now even though I did the Feature 6-0-0 3;days ago
About to use this cocktail tomorrow. The only thing that has me worried is the fact I thought urea had to be watered in. Where as iron & PGR do not. Also how much urea did you dissolve per 1k sqft?
I've used everything known to man,Scott's Max,Ironite, I guess I haven't tried your way,but the darkest my grass ever got was when I used Scott's Natural lawn food.Was totally not what I was after,just got a deal at 4.50 a bag and so I bought all they had.I put it down and two weeks later it was the darkest of green I'd ever seen it.Havent used it since the last bag was gone,for some reason it's hard to find around here and my goal at the moment isn't the color.Like I said it was just dumb luck ,but it was so dark I figured it was worth mentioning.
It's been a brutal 27 years since I fell in love with them...and somehow I still bleed purple and gold 😂.. I hear you watch a few games here and there..
I refer you to a published study done by Michigan State on iron for turf management. I suggest you read the 10 page pdf before you continue to push iron on the typical residential lawn. Iron became an issue when regulators began limiting random dumping of high nitrogen fertilizers and golf course managers were trying to figure out how to green up grass growing on crappy sandy soil lacking in micronutrients. Iron truly only works in a very specific set of cultural conditions and is not readily absorbed by grass unless it is in a specific ionic state and with a specific pH. Even if you hit that mark the green up is short lived and temporary. Most likely your green up is due to highly soluble nitrogen salts. The bottom line is there is absolutely no reason to push your lawn with iron unless you are rocking a putting green and dumping iron on your soil could lead to iron toxicity in time since iron is very very immobile in the soil. If you do a soil test I’m willing to bet that iron is not lacking so why add an over abundance? Regulators have already banned phosphorus fertilizers in many states around the Chesapeake bay. Florida has enacted similar fertilizer bans. Continued spread of misinformation hurts everyone. Most homeowners have no clue what they are doing and buy whatever Joe Tattoo at Home Depot can fit in the car. I for one do not want to see people dumping tons of ironite around me because you say it “greens” the lawn or whatever. Having a decent lawn is tough enough without the need for more confusion
Thx for the video. I spread urea granules on my lawn and it turned totally yellow. Do you know a fix for that. Should I shampoo it with baby shampoo to get rid of the urea! It’s cold and raining.
So, with these ratios, you spread 3 1/2 gallons liquid over 1,000 sq. feet. That's a lot of water to apply in 2,000/ I have a Chapman backpack sprayer and only ever used it for Prodiamine pre emergent. Can you confirm? THUMBS UP!!!
Its been hitting the high 100s here..now the rule is can only water twice a week....15 mnts😑my grass looks completley yellow...its depressing..cant wait tontry thos method💪🏽👌🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤thanks a lot for sharing 🤠
Thanks man! I have no idea, I'm guessing it was the original sod that was laid down after the house was built. I have a test plot in my backyard with Mazama, Bluebank, Everest, and a mix. I'll be doing a video on what those all look like and how they're doing soon.
Ive watch a few of your videos and I have learned a lot and have a plan on making my grass look better. But i think if we were dads in the same neighborhood I would have to settle for 2nd best and fight you in a different way. Probably in BBQ.
I have not actually experienced iron staining. I've seen a few neighbors that have though and it's pretty ugly. I have not tried that product and don't know much about it.
I have the same chapin motorized sprayer, love it. Sounds like you calculated 1000 Sq ft per gallon on yours. I've done many tests with mine and mine covers 500 Sq ft per gallon. Did you put a different spray head on yours?
Thanks Thomas! But no, you don't want to water in or get rained on for at least 4 hours. If you're not going to water in at all, I would use around 0.1 to 0.15 lbs of N to remove the risk of tip burn on your grass. Let me know if you want me to explain this a little more
