What's up everybody!? Surprise vid drop all about Potash, Potassium, K for lawns... How much do I need and Why? This is an important topic that gets overlooked a lot and I go into detail about the role of potassium in your turf, the types available, the best bang for your buck and how to do corrections.
This video was shot quickly and in a moment of inspiration from an online post today, between a multitude of other videos I'm working on. I'm sorry for not warning you and we will get back to our regularly scheduled live drops later this week.
Potassium helps maintain turgor pressure in the cells of the plant, resulting in a positive influence on drought tolerance, cold hardiness, and disease resistance. As a result, potassium deficiencies in turf may cause increased susceptibility to drought, winter injury, and disease. Therefore, potash is very important in your program.
I go into the difference between plant/foliar K and correcting soil deficiencies as there is a major difference there. I encourage you to check label rates on liquids to determine what you are actually getting in pounds or in other words, what you may not be getting. Higher potassium leading into summer can be the best summer fertilizer option in most cases.
I often recommend Sulfate of Potash which can at times be hard to find. turf supply stores tend to be the best bet and expect 32-40.00 per 50lb bag under those circumstances. for small mail order amounts:
