I Tested the World’s CHEAPEST Liquid Fertilizer 

Hey Princess Cut! We sent you an email last week, just wondering if you received it or not. Please let us know. Thanks in advance!!!

What about oz to gallons for the sprayer? I sprayer several customers yards and wonder what would be just general how many oz per gallon? So if I have a 3 gallon sprayer how many oz would I use?

FYI: for the results I mentioned earlier, I used your numbers from the video 3.5oz for 250 square feet but I have three sections of yard that are right at 2500 sq ft so I did 350z in a 5 gal Strom battery backpack sprayer for each section and on the high flow setting and regular walking pace, had just enough to cover the area back and forth and side to side.

So 2.4 oz per gallon of water for the medium? I have about 3 acres to do and plan to do prior to rain on Tuesday. Will it hurt landscaping flowers ect if wind oversprays?

Wow had no idea about DEF

😂

I have owned a pair of new balance shoes that I had bought at the good feet store.

​@@ronp1018Very interesting!

😂💯

Yep, this is a fact.

How much did you spill when you discovered it ?

@@ralanham76 too much.

@@jayh9635

​@@jayh9635lmao happens to us all

Been doing it over 8 years...

I appreciate that!

Thank you so much Jon! Ive been seeing all your comments, thank you so much for the support!

No problem dude! hows your season going??

Appreciate that Mike! Means a lot!

haha would not be surprised at all! same thing happened with my amazon rake video and glyphosate video, they both increased 300 percent in price!

This might be my favorite video you’ve done. But before everyone goes out buying up all the DEF fluid, understand that 34-0-0 granular is still going to be ~3X cheaper source of N than buying 2.5 gallon jugs of DEF.

It already will. Russia and China produce most of the worlds Urea. They stopped exporting. Which is why fert prices are rising. Semi trucks will be hurting because of it too.

Haha

Dude I never even looked at Def fluid since I don’t own a diesel what make you look at the product? Great idea. I would be nervous some products may contain other additives so I guess you should be sure to read the label well as always lol

thanks !

Godamn that’s hilarious

*EPA has entered the chat* Come here you little shit!!

😂😂😂😂

This made my day 😂

"Delete" a few prick politicians who thought using cattle piss in a diesel was a good idea while you're at it!

appreciate that sir!

Thanks you so much!

I am going to try this. But I have a Ortho dial in Sprayer and a 6gl hose end sprayer. So whats the ratio an how to mix? Thx.

Well. How did it work?

@bobbarone7327 Hey George, I haven't tried it yet! Once the Bermuda comes out of dormancy (around mid May) I'll give it a try! I'll let you know how it works. Blessings, Kevin Barron

My man! Happy to hear 😃

great to hear!

​@@PrincessCutLawnCare Found it at Tractor Supply for $12.99. Put it out yesterday about three hours before a good soaking thunderstorm. Back out today and when I pulled up from work around 4pm... man, when I say green up, I mean GREEN UP!! And this coming from someone who use chelated liquid iron from SiteOne and had just put down a round of Anderson's PGF complete at the beginning of the month. But this stuff surprised even me!

@@TroyShields Happy to hear bro!!

Blue marker dye is amazing

@@robertlevy4613 Thanks for replying. Oh, did if forget to mention that the dye is hard to wash off. I believe this was covered in the movie Marked for Death.

@@outlet6989 bleach takes it off concrete fairly easily. Sunshine and water naturally break it down in the grass

Sweeet!

oh yes, weeds always die faster when they are activy growing so when fert is applying at the same time it accelerates the rate of absorption into the plant, i usually use ammonium sulfate nitrogen when spraying herbicides because its absorbs faster than urea, will be making a video soon about it

@@PrincessCutLawnCare Waiting on this video!

@@tminust7369 just released it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-akIV-zAt7VQ.html

@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks man! Excellent content as always! Also can you mix ammonia with tenacity/speed zone

Thanks for the information going to try it today I'm always in the Lawn should have started with this question can you use it on Kentucky blue grass.

What kind of grass is an automotive field?

@@m4inline Bentley Grass, obviously

@@dilbertgilbert must be a tyring job

was that you? i remember someone mentioning it

@@PrincessCutLawnCare it was and thank you for figuring out the rate the test plot looked really good 👍

There you go!

Great to hear Ben! Thanks for the update 😃

How often are you applying it?

How often are you applying it?

Appreciate it Michael!

That’s great to hear boss! Give it another couple days and your lawn will be POPPIN

💀

Im gonna hold you to that! 🍻

No prob!

Great to hear boss! Thankls for sharing your experience!

Do you add water

Yes, I added 4oz to 1 gal of water.@@blackknight6066

Thanks dude! thanks for sharing your app rate, i always wondered how much ammonium was need as jerry baker never says the exact app rates, appreciate you sharing!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare your channel has great content. Lawn care enthusiasts have to help each other out. I add it to my hose end sprayer when I apply my bio stimulants. Not sure about the environmental impact, but you can’t beat the price.

How long does this last after spraying the yard and how often can this be applied? I use a pull behind sprayer, takes 25 gallons to cover my yard...

1/2 cup per 1000 ft is what amount per gallon of water?

@@greggilbert9403 I put it in a two gallon sprayer and apply it over 1,000 square feet. It needs watered in after applying. I usually put down 1/4 of an inch of water after application. Your mileage may vary.

no problem boss!

save big money at menards 😉

Plus 11% back!

You bet!

Tomato Plants , pepper Plants ?

Thanks for sharing!

No problem Walt!

haha i learn from the best 😉

No problem!

sweet! thrower down! haha

@@PrincessCutLawnCare haha yeah now I know I can! Great video

Great tip!

Thanks and no problem!

An old diesel mechanic friend always said it was just “horse piss”…. Which is pretty correct.

​@@choccolocco pig piss

@@choccolocco pig urine to be exact. Delicious

@@choccolocco I use fresh human pee. It contains urea and is cheap and plentiful ... and my lawn is doing great!

Nice!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare much cheaper this way and pure

Thanks Carl!

nice! you got the extra low hook up!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare fleet farm does i dont

no problem boss!

How much nitrogen do you think milo has?

Milorganite is dried human waste and chemicals from water treatment plants, right?

@@dicksavage88 Yes it is! and made in Mil waukee ! which is why it is named Mil organite!

Thanks bro!

Thank you kindly!

sweeeeeet! thanks for sharing!

Or you buy from pump at trk stop

thanks Keith!

No problem!

Thanks dude! learned about it on the lawn forum here-> thelawnforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5097

Nice! That’s a win

no problem! appreciate you stopping by!

Thanks for the sub Ed! means a lot 😀 and yes the DEF would be perfect to add to a fertigation schedule. ive been meaning to get one of those units but havent pulled the trigger just yet

A hose-end sprayer would also work.

What would the rate be with a hose-end sprayer?

The exact same ratio as he listed above in his pinned comment. It doesn't matter HOW you put the product down, but it does matter HOW MUCH. Just follow the application rate instructions above.

I was thinking of same method myself , thanks for asking 😊

Wait until they start pulling hydrogen for fuel out of NH3. Then the prices should really shoot up!!

They don't "burn" it. Its reacts with the SCR to create ammonia to react with NOx to form Harmless emissions.

​@@user-qo3yy9nv1uIt's absolutely stupid. A 1990 dodge 12 valve Cummins got 27 mpg if you babied it. A one ton with 902,000 miles and counting. My father bought the truck new it's never had a thing done to it. My new truck with the same 8 foot Reading utility bed. It gets about 12mpg. If you think that is better for the environment you are crazy. The ignorance of our American people is simply astounding.

DEF is Urea, Urea is ammonia.

It's cattle piss, NOT fertilizer. Jeesh dude, research before making such comments. Then again, thanks for giving me a great laugh and yet more proof that "Idiocracy" really was a documentary!

I have a 5 gallon bucket that I put a slitted pool noodle around the edge (cheapo toilet seat) when I go camping as a "pee" bucket. I was just thinking a few days about using it to collect homemade urea for the compost pile. Hmmm.

Synthetic Urea is absolutely a petrochemical industry product.

Everywhere I piss nothing grows

Thanks! how much is UAN fert?

@@PrincessCutLawnCare Of course these are wholesale prices, but we sell UAN currently around $300/ton. That's about $1.65/gallon. The real savings is being able to use anhydrous ammonia, currently about $500/ton or $1.30/gallon. Only the anhydrous is about double the nitrogen as the UAN. It ends up being half the price, but riskier to apply and harder to handle. Most farmers in corn country use anhydrous for the price. But a lot are switching to UAN for the convenience. DEF is starting to be sold at the gas stations, I've seen local pumps selling for $3.59/gallon, bring your own container.

Is this fine for crops

@@charliedaniel718 depends what crop, most veggies require a balanced fertilizer with equal parts NP and K

@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks for the quick response!

nice that is the proper way to do it, im just afraid if i say that than people will apply a high rate and forget to water in later and then come back screaming at me that they burned their lawn 😂

@@PrincessCutLawnCare Where can I get this?

so 20 ounces of def in one gallon of water for 1k sft lawn?

my man

No problem trevor, thanks for watching

LOL watch DEF spike to 100 dollars now 😂

Fun Fact: Pilot truck stop is the biggest user of DEF. They sell it and dispense just like fuel from a pump.

Great to hear!

no prep, spray in evening and water in for at least 5 min afterward

@@PrincessCutLawnCare easy peasy. Too easy. Thanks

bahahahahha

Dude thank you!!! It’s funny you mentioned that! I’m doing a video on ams vs urea right this moment! I literally got chills reading your comment because you totally called out my new video, will be out Monday morning. PS you are ABSOLUTELY right about AMS, in my testing it trumped urea.

@@PrincessCutLawnCare Nice, that’s random, but I guess AMS is the natural progression there I guess. W/ the mention of the last app of the year, I’m in super mild WA (no snow mold… maybe a week of snow on the ground total if that and temps rarely much below freezing)… I had deep green all winter but that might not be a good thing for most areas. I got off ProPEAT despite it being a AMS based fert because it’s hard to spoon feed the stuff so the result is a leopard pattern yard even with multiple passes where liquids are kinda the only way to go for a nice even look, so that might be worth mentioning in the Monday vid for people that are OK spoon feeding. If people are putting down 1/2 a pound of N at a time they probably shouldn’t be putting out straight AMS anyway. If people have gone that far down the rabbit hole it’s probably time for them to bite the bullet and get a FlowZone.

I'm betting the reason you're having better results with AMS is because of the sulfur (21-0-0-24). Sulfur deficiencies are common today because of cleaner burning coal power plants. We used to get adequate amounts of S from rain before power plant scrubbers. I'm not saying scrubbers are a bad thing. The Nitrogen from ams isn't any more available than the Nitrogen from Urea. Nitrogen is nitrogen (when talking about synthetic forms like urea, 28%, ams, anhydrous ammonia ect..)

@@caseymac2287 my understanding is AMS is available quicker… on the spectrum: nitrate sources are available now, Ammoniacal nitrogen is easy for microbes to break down and urea takes a hair longer. Not long ago I blended my own water soluble 100%, but for cost savings I replaced solo WS ingredients (AMS, MAP, & SOP) as much as possible with 24-8-16 Peter’s Professional water soluble and I custom supplement N, P, or K to get the exact ratios I want approximately every 10 days. Raised mowing height from 1/2” to 1” this year also and my lawn has never looked better. I used to do Jack’s 5-12-26 for my micros a few times a year but plenty of premium chelated micros (roughly 10x less) in the 24-8-16. My PH is perfect in my front lawn, so I’m sure the micros aren’t actually doing much. I agree about the sulfur… I was saying the AMS has been shown to generate much higher greening nutrients in leaf tissue analysis vs. urea and I consider sulfur closer to a macro-nutrient. PH in my area actually favors low numbers so I doubt sulfur is rare West if the Rockies as a rule of thumb but that’s just me rambling. Peter’s Pro 24-8-16 is about 1/3 nitrate N, 1/3 ammoniacal N, and about 1/3 urea N…. This creates a slower quick release for even more consistent green when spoon feeding. (For ryegrass only) in Spring I like about .15#N every 10 days in my younger lawn… closer to .08#N in Summer (irrigated) and more like .20#N in much of the Fall based on growth potential for now. If I could own only one fertilizer it would be Peter’s Pro water soluble, but on the edge approaching dormancy at very low rates AMS is able to break down at lower soil temps since it’s closer to available but nitrate nitrogen is even better… might even change my AMS applications to straight nitrate forms at those boarderline low temps (very low rates of course since grass is barely growing). I prefer my lawn super dark green through the winter (very mild winters in my area (pacific NW). I’m aiming at almost 4#N this year for my perennial ryegrass but if I had any other type of grass I would aim closer to 2.5-2.75# annual N to help manage thatch or possibly bump that a little while doing notable amounts of aeration.

@@IntegrityDistribution The nitrogen from ams and the nitrogen from urea are one in the same. Nitrite is Nitrite. Both need to be converted to nitrate by soil microbes and converted into nitrate which is a plant usable form. The plant then converts that into amino acids or proteins. The extra greening you're seeing is from the sulfur. I get the same affect when I side dress or top dress corn with ams compared to 28% solution. What's you sulfur levels from your soil test. Im guessing they're at the lower end of the spectrum.
