Today I’m topdressing grass hay with 100 lb/acre treated urea to give 46 lbs nitrogen per acre. This seems to be a practice neglected by many, but will significantly increase your yield.
Great video! Couldn’t agree more. I usually do the same rate if straight urea. Haven’t ever used treated though, so I’m intrigued at that. Thanks for sharing!
I do have nitrogen in the spring as ammonium sulfate and coated urea. But I go back and add more nitrogen after each cutting as it gets spent quickly. Heavy growth in first cut will consume most of the nitrogen added in the spring. Sometimes I skip urea in the spring because it slows the grass down so it isn’t over mature by the time I’m able to cut it.
Where are you located at I am looking for someone to associate with for an opportunity to get back to restarting my micro-mini-homestead. I am currently in Lincoln Nebraska.
Here is the question... Im not from USA, I live in México, and i want to have a very nice grass in my yard... How can i do it?? purchase FOSFATE? ad URINE??? I supose My Urine to make the reaction ??? That is UREA.. UREA=URINE ... Can i do that??? just Guessing..
You would need to do a soil test to really see what your yard needs. Urine is only 2% urea, and half of that would be nitrogen, so about 1% nitrogen total from urine urea. Not enough to do anything. If you don’t want to do a soil test, do they sell bagged yard fertilizer down there in home-improvement type stores?
