How To Use Ortho Dial N Spray Hose End Sprayer | Liquid Fertilizer Application 

I needed this video as I finally just picked up the biostimulant package and the ortho dial and spray. Thanks LCN appreciate ya!🤜🤛

Thanks for all you do Allyn. I know how much time and energy you put into your videos and guides to help us regular Joes. AND you understand that repetition is the key to learning ;)

I promised my wife is take her out for dinner so I didn't get a chance to upload the bio stim schedule. But it's in the app, linked in the description. Check back later and I'll update it here too. Thank you for watching !!

This is all new to me. Received my Bio-Stimulant yesterday and got my Ortho at a big box store. Just finished laying the RGS and Humic12. Probably go with the MicroGreene next weekend. Psyched to see the results on my Texas St. Aug. . Thanks Allyn for your informative videos!!

Thank you! I did the mods to my new Ortho and used the higher setting, amazing! No clogs, nothing, worked some much better!

Great breakdown! Very helpful. It took me forever to figure out precisely how it worked. Makes a big difference when you know how things work. Thank!

I watched the one you uploaded last year for this sprayer first, then found this new video:) it helped me a lot! the same product in Canada uses ml/L, so I kinda had to do conversions on both liquid products and the dial sprayer. I'm very glad I watched your videos! Thank you!

I just threw down RGS on my front lawn with my newly modified Ortho. Worked like a charm! Looking forward to do the backyard tomorrow..or should I say “tamarra.” Loving all of the NEXT bio-stims! Thanks LCN!

Awesome video, I have had fun taking the ortho apart to edumacate myself over der. Thanks for being the pod cast back, I make for a fun commute to and from work.

I got my Sprayers Plus 2 gallon battery sprayer that does great! I’ve got it all timed out in sections of my lawn. Great info on the Ortho dial n spray. I always wondered what the insides looked like. Spraying and praying! 🙏🏻😎

Awesome video, very informative. Thank you for taking the time in making this video. I'll be ordering the 4x 1 gallon box from your site next week and look forward to getting it applied for the first time.

This was a really great video. I had given up on the Ortho sprayer, but I have one in my garage that I will try after watching this video. Thx for such great content.

My favorite line..... Proper Hose management is key 🤘🏼 Thanks for the mod info 👊🏼 Cutting off the filter. Super primitive mod 😂

Thanks so much for this video. I need to spray my lawn tomorrow and was considering buying this ortho sprayer. I’m heading to Home Depot tomorrow.

I know this was older but I just received the spoon feed and the starter pack, I found this video very helpful thank you! New lawn DIY er.

Excellent video! I generally use a Chapin Pro sprayer but I think I will try this one soon. Got my four-pack in recently and just ordered some Flagship bags ... also got the Throw 'Er Down sticker - thanks Allyn! I love spraying -

Great video, I had no idea the ortho sprayer could be modded. Great information as usual thanks!

Best video on RU-vid on how to set the ortho spray, I finally understood thanks

Just picked up one of these. Haven't circumcised it yet, but I'm pleased thus far!

The ole “beat it till you break it” method. Solid work!

Always been a do it myself guy across the board. Funny, but doing my own lawn has always been the biggest challenge for me. Who in their right mind would think that their is such a methodical science to all of this. Lets start with I have personally re-sodded my lawn 3 times. OUCH!!! "LEARN HOW TO SHARPEN YOUR LAWN MOWER BLADE". Listen to this man, every 5th cut sharpen your blade, do not mow under 4 inchs!!! Most people think you just cut the grass right?? Wrong, Allyn changed the game for me!!! I got frustrated! I live south in South Florida! St Augustine Floratam - Love this grass type, .. Everything in South Florida seems to be to the 12th power of application. Fungus, who ever heard of "Rhizoctonia" before Allyn! Could never figure all this out until, I Found the Lawn Care Nut! The Bullet Proof Strategy!! This is greatness!!! I started with basic's watching his channel, and unable to MATH (LOL). I could never figure out the sprayers and the breakdowns per 1000 square foot and spray setting, so I never invested in his (4) Pack bio-stimulant package until now!! PS its a great value you when you break it down, basically $25.00 a gallon of really high quality product. This video is exactly what I needed to explain how the heck to correctly use the Ortho Dial N Spray - sprayer. I followed the basic modification on the sprayer, after sizing down the sprayer hose and cutting off the end, I added a seconded zip tie just above the weight inside the sprayer. in 10 Minutes I am going outside to start the fun!! The only thing I am still concerened about is "WEED FEED", Pre-Emergent time, I am phreaked out to use this on my lawn, as I have previously had a bad experience. I am trying to use the Greencast tool, and I am using the Yard Mastery app, and I downloaded Allyns book online, I just don't have the confidence yet to put weed and feed back on my lawn!! I absolutely do not want to re-sod again!! Need to watch more videos their, especially on temperature! So for now I am trying to build a tough turf, and hand pulling weeds "Good Therapy", bad on time!! Thanks to the Lawn Care Nut for all the education and great products!! We appreciate you! - Great Video!

Great video as always. Great content for us novice to intermediate lawn care nuts. Thanks Al!

Thank you for this video! I now know why it was so painful to apply RGS & Humic together at 4oz! Holy smokes, gonna make adjustments for next application. Sprayin, prayin and smokin through! “I hope”!

I took your previous advice with the Ortho and actually did a bucket test, because at first I was having trouble with running out of product and still having square footage to cover going off the 2gal/1 min. I determined that my HES put out 1 gallon of water every 27 seconds, so I ended up buying a cheap wrist watch that has a stopwatch feature and I generally just do 1000 sq ft at a time, and will take 1:48 to spray that 1000, and get out 4 gallons of water, that way I’m also diluting the product as recommended on the label of most of the NeXT products. Thanks for the vid Hane. 👍🏼

Happy 4th Allyn...Thanks for the Video and spraying and praying!!!!!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

Got my Ortho Sprayer over eBay today! Thanks for the planting the seed of gardening which I have embraced in various degrees of amateurism! I do hope to find the products to spray for grubs and other pests here in Costa Rica!

I already knew you were in the military beforehand, but seeing you use the wrench as a hammer definitely solidified that.

Here's my ortho hack - cut this plastic uptake cord because you don't need it so long that it's in the corner - 4:06 Also my ortho hack - when you're done with the application you may have some left in the corner - 11:57 Sorry, I'm just bustin chops LCN. Love your content man, don't ever stop!

Great video bro! Thanks for the plug in the description!

Thanks for the mention and support broski! Glad to see the podcast back.

So timely! I got my ortho sprayer in the mail today!!

Great video Allen. I've been having a difficult time trying to figure out how to properly spray the greene. Specially the greene punch. I'm going to try these tips. Thanks

Glad you podcast is back.

I appreciate the deep dive on the Ortho hose end sprayer. You included a lot of good information here. It’s a welcome update to your original video on the Ortho a year or two back. Thank you.

Super great video, outstanding detailed instructions!! 👍👍👍😱

Awesome as always bro ..watched it yesterday as well as this morning 😎💪 hose management 👍👌

Great video, super info!!

Good video! Great review!

Thanks for the heads up about spraying your walkways with water before spraying the MicroGreens. I’ve been applying RGS, Humic-12, Air-8 and D-Thatch this season, along with Carbon-X. Planning to add MicroGreens next season and switch to Carbon-X DIY, to back off on the higher N rates.

You have some very informative videos, I appreciate them. Your neighbors could use a little lawn advice.

I’m gonna rewatch the math part about a hundred times before I understand it 😂.

Always great tips Allyn! Hope you had a great 4th bud. 👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲👍🏻

I took my Ortho apart and drilled out the smallest hole in the dial to a bit larger than the 8 oz hole so I have a max dump of whatever I’m spraying and it clogs less. I’ve divided my lawn into larger areas of 3-4000 sq ft (got 18,000 total!) so I try and get as much product in as I can so I don’t have to fill so much. Just gotta walk faster. As long as we get down the right amount of product on the size area we’re spraying we should be good. Great explanation of all that, thanks.

I like using a backpack sprayer. Great video. Maybe i should give ortho another try.

Shoutout to 'ole Cleeter at the Freedom Factory! P.S. I'm here because of the collab with Cleetus. Watched a few of your videos and decided to step up my lawn care game. I bought one of your guides and I'm hooked. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but appreciates the nice lawn 😂

Just downloaded the app and I can't wait to buy my bio stem pack with the air8 I'm so excited lol thanks for what you do buddy happy 4th

Appreciate the video, well done! My hose pressure must be through the roof or something because at the 8oz dial setting I emptied the entire 32oz resevior in like 30-40 seconds. Had to dial it back to 2 oz to get more of that "2 minute working time"

Always a pleasure to support a fellow patriot! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great job!

The hat tho...LMAO...I have been doing that with my ORTHO hose end sprayer for a while now...it just makes it so much easier without all the math. The process is much more enjoyable. I have old sprayers and just fill all of the tanks (4) so it comes down to change the tank and on to the next area.

Frankenlawn is back? That’s funny. I loved the videos featuring frankenlawn.

Wow very helpful. Thanks

One of your best videos LCN and I have been flowing for many years. I know you and when you started to take sprayer apart I said to myself this is going to get ugly. When you pulled out wrench I LMAO. But with two taps it opened right up. I stopped laughing and sincerity apologize. I feel as if I should go outside and eat some dirt like you did in a video to redeem myself. Lol

As always great info.

Man it’s like you got a rush of micro green orders in and know the questions or issues are coming. Lol I just placed the order for mine a couple days ago and can’t wait to throw’er down!

You passed up some good viddles! Yumadillo stew!

Hose placement suggestion -- set up the hose behind you before starting so you're pulling it to length, not pushing it. Minimizes frustration.

"Just walk away"......LOL.....Classic Allyn.

I have been using these methods for years , and I never have any problems, sometimes I'll get crazy abs put in 2 products but always add water helps alot.

Twenty thumbs up for AvE references!

Finally got the biostim pack can’t wait to spray and pray this weekend

Thank you for this bud

Love how the Humic has the hype happy music because we're just sprayin it all over the place.. MicroGreene gets serious, no music.. I was legit on the edge of my seat waiting to see if any got on the hardscape!

Very good! Thanks! I just ordered a new Dial N Spray. I've always told myself to lose the filter at the end of the hose. I've got the older style Dial N Spray....but WTF I want a new one...

Got a little Venturi action over der!! I got kicked out of high school for spraying my concentrate too thick you whad I mean? Hey I’d watch your videos if you were reading the obituaries and your podcast was lights out!! More , more, more!! Your tip about checking your soil after watering opened my eyes!! Hope you enjoyed your July 4th! Now I’m gonna enjoy a craft beer!!

Always the best

I lost the weight on my original sprayer after it fell off the shelf(I'll keep looking for it). On my new one, after cutting the tube to length I trimmed of the "flange" of the original tip and pushed it back onto the tube. Plus also after removing the screen. There is now way I can walk fast enough to cover the space on the 8oz setting. I use the 1oz setting for everything but the micro green. I've learned how fast I need to walk to cover each zone of my lawn and have the container come out empty. With micro green I fill half full with the rest water and use the 4 oz setting. Just have to fill up a few more times. If I don't feel like dragging a hose around I use my 10 gallon tank sprayer and I will mix all 4 bio stim products together.

I was ready to throw my Ortho sprayer away. But I will try modifying it and give it some pumps. Thanks 😊 Great video?

I think buying a nice, battery operated sprayer is an investment that pays for itself. Learn to use it and it can really save you money on products also. I use a FlowZone 4 gallon backpack sprayer and it's lasted me a couple years, spraying weekly. The 2 gallon is a great option also and you can cover a lot of lawn with it.

I actually like my hose getting sticky 😆

😂😂😂😂 love the armadillos!! Haha have some on my property as well

With a full tank (for reference) 2min - 8oz setting 4min - 4oz setting 5min - 3oz setting 8min - 2oz setting 11min - 1.5oz setting 16min - 1.0oz setting

Happy belated 4th of July. Love the wooden flag. Kinda make me wonder what lawn care was like back those days 😂

Thank you so much for the updated video, consolidating much need info. Got the bio-stim pack and was lookin' and prayin' for the right vidyo. Time to throw 'er down!

Great video. It looks like your neighbor across the street might be a subscriber/friend? He seems to have a strong domination line as well next to his house lol

Yay for chapters

Good to see that your hose kinks up just link mine!! :-)

Pickup a hose barb coupling (used to join 2 hoses) as well that fits inside the 1/4in hose. Optionally slide the weight back down over the barb., but the barb is also a weight so you technically do not need the oval weight it comes with. If you do it this way then length of cut for the hose should be 4.75in - 5.50in if no barb, and you want the hose just barely touch the bottom. - 6.00in is perfect if you want the hose a little more than barely touching the bottom. -6.50in just in case someone messed this up, lol. But you can always start at 6.5 and see how that goes first.

Nice FF hat!

Laughing Out Loud! That is an awesome Cap!!!!!

Bio-Stimulant pack is here: thelawncarenut.com/collections/liquid-fertilizer/products/bio-stimulant and here is the basic plan you can follow drive.google.com/file/d/1-XuQbhaexYXKKSDJre4PcU7q9URuh7c6/view?usp=sharing

I think the armadillos are cute!

Love the pron music on the zoysia

Nice video! The head cam is awesome! you should use it more.

Lol love it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Allyn... I hope it was a blessed day for you. I hope I spelled that correctly because I can't remember what the spelling was.

Saw a video on the N-ext RU-vid about mixing. You can mix the RGS humic and the air8 together but the micro green on it's own. With that music it sounds like you took your lawn out to dinner.

Great tip about the shoes...didn’t think about it the first time I sprayed microgreene, had shoe prints all over sidewalks/driveway. Any tips on how to remove the iron stains would be appreciated lol!

Allyn, awesome video! Can Microgreene still be applied with Ortho hose sprayer once it's modded? Seems like the pump sprayer would take a lot longer to apply with such a small spray pattern. Thanks!

Can you please link the hose adapter that Jay sent you for the hose? I just bought the stim pack as well as some fertilizer and am starting my lawn renovation!!

How do u measure 3 1/2 table spoons to a gallon in the the Ortho hose end sprayer ? Do I Put in 3 1/2 tablespoons and then fill up with water?

I have a bunch of the old Dial N Spray models that work fine. Is there anything about the new one shown here that makes it better for applying these products? Or are they the same internally?

Head camera action 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

16:00 pretty slick

Great info today Al! Thank you! I was considering getting some biostimulants but my sod isn't even a year old up in Michigan. Been throwing down tons of Milo...should I do soil test before next year or fall?

I'm always on the hunt for great quick-connect fittings as most tend to leak or break after a certain amount of time. I can't find Eley's at the current time, everything on backorder. Would you mind sharing the link of the quick-connect fittings the subscriber sent you and/or possibly do a review of them after a bit to see how they've held up?

What do you recommend to get rid of moss in cool season lawn? I reside in se MI.

Hi and thanks. I use a Chapman backpack manual sprayer. What would the ratio be? Same oz per gallons with the Chapman Fan nozzle tip?

I just started with a full line of N-Ext liquids and am rounding out the equipment. Where can I snag some of the boots you were wearing to spray? Are they just rubber over-boots? Thanks!
