+Tractor Time with Tim I spray for a living as well and you should find out how far you have to go with your spray width to be 1000 square feet. After that measure how long it takes you to travel that distance. Then measure how much liquid comes out of the nozzles in that amount of time. Then you know how many gallons or quarts per 1 thousand square feet your rig is doing. At that point just read the label. It will be a certain amount of active ingredient per 1000 square feet. Then it will be calibrated just like true green chem lawn or almost as good as evergreen.. my company ;)

You don't say where you live, or what kind of grass you have. The 1# of N/1K sq ft seems a bit high for early Spring. In my area, early Spring apps for cool weather grasses, us about 0.75# of N/1K. You mentioned "greening up fast." That is NOT what you want. Your description of the fert did not include anything about release rates. In 2016, fert technology has improved, so that any app of N should include a "slow release." Without "slow ..." you will get high grass growth rates immediately, but the effect will fade quickly. That is NOT what you want. You want a product with controlled release. This means the N will be fed to the turf slowly, but for a much longer period of time. Without control, the turf will a growth spurt, and then fading, until the next app 6-8 weeks later, then another growth spurt, then fading, ... etc. What you want is a release rates to minimize the spurts. The growth rates should be nearly the same across the entire season, even if you put down five apps. The commercial applicators, such as Tru-Green have come a very long way to make improvements, so that the uninformed should not see much difference across the entire season. 15 years ago, Tru-Green put down material that caused major growth quickly. One could count on a "hayfield" two weeks after the app, and the lawn would remain very strong for a couple of weeks, and then fade off fast, ... until the next app. These cycles have been all-but eliminated in recent years. Even consumer products off-the-shelf now have control release.

@TractorTimewithTim7 жыл бұрын
I did post one followup, but not sure it answered your questions. The nitrogen I used didn't last very long. It did indeed green up the grass. But within 4-5 weeks, it was losing it again. Also, the nitrogen is pretty 'touchy'. On my 3rd (or 4th??) application later in the summer, I apparently used too much nitrogen. I burned the grass pretty bad. I intended to get some video posted first thing this year where I show more detail about how to calibrate the sprayer. I just haven't got around to it yet. I think my approach now is to apply most of the fertilizer with granular fertilizer, but still apply the weed n feed and crabgrass preventer via liquid form. The fertilizer would have longer term 'staying power', and the herbicides are more effective and less expensive via liquid. ...but that is my current thinking. we'll see how it goes.

Some things you might want to consider. 1. If the weed/feed didnt work, I guarantee you didnt put it down correctly. Even then, most reputable companies like Scotts will give you your money back when you screw up. 2. Buying a John Deere tractor and a sprayer for a small suburan lawn is more cost effective than TrueGreen? You could have put the money you spent in an investment, take out yearly interest, paid TrueGreen and still had your initial investment. (You just wanted a tractor!) 3. Did you calibrate your sprayer--NO. You need to know the exact speed to drive to determine the "rate of delivery". I agree with your "Do Your Own Pest Control" advice but the bulk of your information is dangerously suspect. Not measuring the liquid nitrogen (incidently --it's not time released like 99% of the granules on the market) and not having calibrated equipment is poor and marginally dangerous information. Put me in the thumbs down column.

@TractorTimewithTim8 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the 'more friendly' tone. Like Bondoly, I was a bit 'put off' by your tone in the original comment. Now that you have struck a more friendly tone, I'll address your comments one by one. 1. Weed/feed didn't work: First, I'm not claiming that it "didn't work". The fertilizer portion of it has worked beautifully for me. I have had issue with the 'weed' portion of it. Specifically, it says right on the package to apply when the grass is wet. That is not easy for me to accomplish. So, yes, technically, you are right...I didn't put it down correctly. I know that. Probably didn't explain that in this much detail in the video, but didn't think it was necessary. Wasn't trying to argue with anyone about the effectiveness of weed and feed. 2. If you've watched my other videos (bondoly66's point), you would see lots of subtle explanation about my tractor. Reading the comments, it is more obvious. You are absolutely right that I don't NEED the tractor. I've never been hesitant to express that (and laugh about it). Again, this video did not in ANY WAY say that I bought the tractor to pull this sprayer. If I remember correctly, I explicitly said the opposite. I've spent money on all this stuff, it began to 'bother me' that I wasn't doing my own lawn fertilization. Seems like exactly the opposite of your claim. On the "investment" portion, I appreciate your point, but it is simply not accurate in this case. So far, not only has my tractor provided endless hours of recreational fun, it has also resulted in MUCH more cash income than investing the corresponding sum would have provided. So, no, your comments about investment are not factually correct. Having said that, you could dig through my garage, living room, or elsewhere, and find MANY items which fit your description. Should have just saved the money and invested it. ...and I would guess that the same is true for you. 3. Calibration. You are correct. I did not do a 'formal' calibration. However, I did examine how much chemical I wanted to apply. I suppose there was lots of prior experience, and simple 'common sense' used which were not mentioned in the video. I inherently knew that one take of 'mix' would do the entire yard. Yes, I should have calibrated to make the video more scientific. So, I am putting together a formal 'sprayer calibration' video now (not sure when it will be done, as it takes lots of time to do all of the steps, and I've been quite busy). Again, I do not think the tone of the video was "Tim knows best...this is EXACTLY what you should do to your lawn". At least I hope it didn't come across with that tone. Overall, none of my videos are meant to be the "final answer". I'm showing what I'm doing. Success sometimes, failure sometimes, but always enjoying it, and hopefully always improving. I'm not trying to say that I am smarter than you. I doubt that I am. I'm not trying to say that I'm more experienced than you either. I'm not out to prove anything. I'm hoping that folks find entertainment value out of our videos. I'm hoping they see that our family gets along well, and enjoys doing projects together. I'm hoping that they see that they CAN do DIY projects without some sort of professional license. BTW, as it turns out, I do not believe I applied enough nitrogen in that first application. I upped the rate for the second application with much better results. ...then, I have failed to get around to the 3rd application...which is really needed at this point. So, perhaps I should have stayed with TruGreen. At least they get around to it when it needs to be done! I think we spend too much time tearing each other down in this world. I enjoy the relationships which we have been able to create with subscribers much more than the details of any particular project. I hope this explanation makes sense, and is not taken offensively, as I sincerely don't mean to offend. Tim

Chris, now I'm wondering if I ever responded to your comment. If not, I'm sorry. I DID get a laugh out of it. Of course, I'm wearing a Menard's shirt as a write this comment! Menard's has T-shirts and hats "free after rebate" several times a year. Usually there is a limit of 4 items or so each time. We max out every time. We started this so that we could work in these clothes, and when they get greasy, or damaged, we just throw them away. Since we started the youtube channel, it has become one of our 'signatures' if you know what I mean. So, we just keep loading up on the freebies of all shapes and colors. Last fall, they had hoodies for $5. So, we got the limit of those as well. Mine is kinda worn, so I'm hopeful for a repeat on THAT sale! Anyway, we have a lot of fun with it. I hope it brings you a chuckle as well.

Tractor Time with Tim haha that's great I didn't know they had such good deals. our "local" stores are called ace hardware, they don't really offer up clothes and stuff
@TractorTimewithTim8 жыл бұрын
Chris Pastuf Menards has the normal hardware, like Lowes, only cheaper. Then, they'll have some items which you can hardly imagine. They'll have Beef Ribs, breakfast cereal, a large section of books, and who knows what else?? It is kind of an adventure to shop there. I guess I should contact them, maybe they would sponsor us for REAL???

Why such a big tractor on such a tiny lot, I’m all about tractors, but this is laughable.
