How To Mix and Apply Bio-Stimulants with a Hose End Sprayer 

It is! More fun too!

you are going to love spraying once you do it a couple times!

Allyn makes it look easy

with practice and experience you quickly learn how to gauge the outflow to your coverage. it is one of those things that just clicks once you do a couple applications.

@@yardmastery yes true thanks

6oz of product for every 1000sqft

these can go down at any time of day, no risk of burning. We prefer to spray in the evening to watch the sunset, but that's just us. :)

yes this will reduce evaporation. It's not about burning the lawn or anything like that though, just to be clear.

you don;'t really need to measure these - they have a wide usage range so as long as you fill it up half with water first, then no matter how much of them you put in for the rest, it will be within labeled spec.

yes for sure, sometime in the next couple weeks.

the mix can get a little too thick and the venturi won't have the ability to push the concentrates up the tube.

Yeah

No we don't recommend that. The hose end sprayer is just for the bio-stimulant or liquid fertilizers.

sorry about that - submit a ticket here and my team will respond in the AM yardmastery.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Hey Bob - that's the same 32oz that we put into our bundle packs. I do agree it's not ideal for a lawn the size of yours though. Ideally, a hose end sprayer should cover 2500 sq ft or so. Up to 3000 would be fine but stretching it anymore than that would work as you know. I've not really seen hose end sprayers larger than 32 oz anyway so that is something I need to explore for sure. In the meantime, have you looked at Pete from GCI turf's Spray Buddy? It's a significant investment but would last you a lifetime.

Allyn, thanks for the reply. I have not seen Pete' sprayer but will check it out. I have a 4 gallon backpack sprayer but have hesitated to use it for fear of the nozzle getting blocked up. As always, I appreciate your input and experience!!!

I could not find them either on his website... bought one from Amazon.

you can get one free with these packs thelawncarenut.com/pages/custom-diy-lawn-care-fertilizer-packs (create your own pack)

they have a 3-4 year shelf life but even if they are older than that, we still recommend giving them a good shape and putting them out on the lawn.

It's a real issue 😂

Yes that is a good idea - sometime in mid-March would be good for a scalp, then spray the bio-stimulants. If you spray them before hand, that is ok too since they are made for the soil.

No it doesn't. Side discharge doesn't either. Grass clumping when you mow is what causes thatch buildup. If you are seeing clumps, do a double cut.
