Best Organic Lawn Fertilizer

Organic lawn fertilizers are now becoming one of the best investments homeowners can make. Doc walks you through his choice. See the product info here: goo.gl/P2F3xJ
People have been waiting a long time for the launch of this new organic fertilizer and it's finally here.

[@davidhintz1806]

If anyone doesn't understand peer reviewed studies, then they are not experts. It's good that you are encouraging people to look into the science of things.

[@stephenwismer5876]

Thanks Doc, started seriously working on my yard since finding your channel a month ago, already getting good results

[@ryanhaeberle]

Finally! You da man, Doc! Been waiting for this video like Christmas Morning!

[@ICT-BRK-MMXM]

Awesome...it has arrived!!! Ordered and will be putting out this week. Thanks Doc!

[@neilfpv]

The organic fertilizer shown on the video looks similar to the one I put which is called soybean meal. It's smells so good. It's $17 - $22 in some farm stores.

[@johnfetter3252]

Awesome video Doc. Your expertise is truly outstanding.

[@soilcreepsandgardengeeks71]

Thanks doc, very thought provoking for a long time Milorganite user.....I’ve been looking for more organic, environmentally conscious means for all of my lawncare. I have a fledgling channel that isn’t nearly as intelligent as yours but still one of the only lawn enthusiast channels that is not into gobs of chemicals(pesticides etc.) I’m pretty piss poor but believe in paying for a good quality product and this one seems right up my alley, thanks for the info. Additionally, I have to say your delivery and overall vibe or demeanor in your videos is very refreshing. Not that I’m gonna blindly agree with everything you say or pitch, but I’m with ya buddy. In a time where KZbin has given rise to lots of lawn gods, your no frills straight forward delivery is pretty damn awesome so thank you for that. And again, thanks for the tip on this product. If I do acquire I’ll do it thru you link.

[@zoysiaguy3757]

Just threw some down testing it out myself. I'm excited to see the results I like the lower phos level in it. mine is through the roof thanks to milo.

[@buka1359]

Yay I’ve been waiting for this!!

[@marcoslugo5542]

Thank u for ur videos doc I learned a lot from u.

[@robertolson3115]

Learning the ideal NPK ratio and range was very beneficial. Thank you. I hope this works in Hawaii. I know you are speaking from Georgia. Two very different environments. I get about 80 inches of rain per year.

[@hutch510]

Great video, Doc!

[@jbridgemiii]

Can't wait to try it

[@spottedowl8518]

There's now an organic fertilizer at home depot (from Purely Organic Products) which is also mostly soybean meal but it provides 2.5lbs of nitrogen (10-0-2 in a 25lb bag) for $19 in my area vs. 2.8lbs of nitrogen (7-1-2 in a 40lb bag) for the Andersons product which is currently $71 on Amazon. So you're getting about the same amount of nitrogen pounds on the ground (which then means if you do the math correctly you'll get about the same coverage area out of either bag) but you're paying more than 3 times the cost... I've never used the POP product (I've always been a Milorganite guy), but I've been thinking about trying something different on occasion, rotating with Milorganite. And I don't know what micronutrients might or might not be in the POP product but I'm sure you could pick up a spray on product to get that if that was a concern. Either way, $71 for 2.5lbs of N is crazy high -- that's more expensive than corn gluten meal!

[@wessimpson2544]

Man I found your channel and one other guy I enjoy. I've been using a lawn treatment service but the prices have really gone up and last Summer towards the end they messed up and did 2 treatments too close together and burned my grass. Now I have zoysia and my yard was one of the best in my community (it's a smaller community). Well I used Scott in the Fall and it started coming back alright. However about 3 weeks ago it was looking lime - not very dark green. Well I did Milo, Ironnite, HumiChar and chicken feed (the one you said) I had to drive to a Tractor supply quite a distance for it. Well my yard is looking Great, dark green and lush.

[@mitch1078]

Hi Doc I am indeed very excited for this product finally coming out! This is the first ideal organic fertilizer since Ringer Lawn Restore or Milorganite, with this in the ideal NPK ratio. Only question I have is how will there be a mad rush to purchase this product as you say, when we're at the end of the season already? I will probably get it for spring though!

[@backwatermafia4life407]

Thanks Doc.. Awesome Vid..

[@olegig5166]

Great test strips, thanks. I notice your flowers around lawn border. Would the organic fertilizer be good on the roses?

[@KaizenUSMC]

Thank you Sir!

[@Movetoargyle]

Just got word they shipped more to Amazon facilities yesterday. Should be back in stick next week. :))))

[@Aerialphotovito]

Hey doc great video again was wondering if that new fert is ok for cool season grass too? I live up in NY have a tri mix kbg rye tall fescue . thanks again

[@kendelljackson8357]

Great vid and very excited about this product Doc. I missed the train as it’s already sold out. I know you say more is on its way but curious to know what’s the price? Price is not listed due to item being sold out. Thanks again!!!

[@jeffreymartinez5408]

So to make sure i understand, put PGF complete early spring, then Organic once is summer time.. I'm in the Atlanta area as well. And of course Super Juice

[@aa0517748]

Thank you

[@williamjindra6652]

Wish my lawn look like that

[@isaiahcastillo3087]

Ordered, thanks doc.

[@kweli05]

How good does it work?

[@treymatlock3775]

I have been following because I've been waiting on this! Then to find out that this is Andersons!!! I like using their products! I have to just figure out if I can swing 3-4 bags per application. I noticed something on the label that I question...40# covers 11k sq ft for low rate..then the med, high rate are based off 50#...but the bag is 40#?

[@TellersandTales]

Can I buy now for spring? How long can it store?

[@justinshaw5706]

Lol your “horrible nasty” lawn looks like my good part of my lawn!! What’s your recommendation for a drought tolerant cool season grass seed? My yard is about an acre and a half of unirrigated sandier soil. I’ve got a test strip, approximately 30’x80’ that I brought in some “premium” soil and worked it into the soil after mowing as closely to the ground as I could. I’m trying a seed made Johnathan Green, Black Beauty.

[@willyck948]

I wonder what the passers-by looking at green stripes or color changing lawns wonder what's going on in the area🤔 👍

[@VinceDaRebel]

Hey doc I know you don’t recommend using ant chemicals on pressure cleaning driveways and sidewalks. What would you recommend to use fir pink on drive way

[@fredrubble4305]

If I wanted to get ready for next year, can I order now or does this have a certain shelf life? Thanks.

[@aflutur23]

Hey doc so how often do you put the organic down?? I'm in Arizona and my brumuda does NOT look as dense and green as urs. How offered should u wet brumuda grass? Thank u in advance

[@Mr.Hoskin]

For 3-4 month old Bermuda in TX, what do you recommend in mid April and going forward? I saw on your website something along the lines of not doing anything for the first full year of new sod, then I saw you saying you could use super juice and organic fertilizer. Then, where does PGF Complete fit in. Thank you.

[@herbmiller848]

Doc, You say that next year all you are going to use is super juice and the organic fertilizer. Does that mean that you will no longer be putting down Humic DC? What about if my soil test comes back an says I am deficient in P or K? Will this new fertilizer correct that deficiency or should I take other remedial action?

[@johnward5165]

Do you recomend this organic fertilizer inplace of Humanic or in conjunction with the organic?

[@patriciagriffiths398]

Hello Doc please can you help. The back of our garden was clay and when it rains it doesn't drain away. So we have spent a lot of money having it all dug up and drains put in. I think it might have solved the problem but here in the UK we haven't had much rain so don't know how well it's worked. But the problem now is the company put new turf down and initially it looked beautiful. But it's starting to grow brown. It seems to be getting worse. We did all the right things watering it for a few weeks. I've had the company out and they are saying it's fine. Well it's not because it's getting more brown day by day. The back garden is approximately a quarter of an acre. And has cost so much. Please can you advise. Thanking you

[@kanecroft5988]

Can you use this product in the uk please. Would I still get good results?

[@HardWoodCountry]

I applied 24-0-11 on my Bermuda yesterday. My lawn was/is lacking in nutrition, so I threw down that 24-011 (hoping that it helps) then I ran into Innova product. I purchased Innova 7-1-2. How early can I apply it? Thank you, the Vin Diesel of lawn care I’m in North TX.

[@everydayjeeper6583]

If I buy it now but don't put it down until next spring, does the product expire?

[@cryptopimp5855]

What's it like living next to Tim the Tool Man Taylor? Lol jk...great vid. Ty

[@erikklein4863]

Will you have to thatch out all the dead yellow grass after it grows back?

[@halburke9115]

Doc, if you have put some kind of seed killer on the lawn, will it kill the microbes needed to break down the organic matter?

[@garyw8481]

Hi Doc, Love your videos but I have a question. Initially you advocated the 7-1-2 formula. Now you advocate the 16-4-8 formula. Why the change as this is very confusing? Thanks in advance.

[@aarlind1]

If I put a direct fertilizer down can I also add an indirect and now burn or hurt my lawn

[@bigbrushlittlebrush2]

Can you get this in New Zealand???

[@patrickcruz6008]

Hey doc what are those meaning of numbers just like 5-1-2,what does it means

[@2steps69]

[@kristidyson443]

Will the super juice be restocked soon? Need some baddddd!!!

[@joshthompson2335]

Just placed my order! Quick question: I'm here in Atlanta, and looking at the temperatures on the 10 day forecast, it looks like we have enough warm weather ahead to safely push the lawn one last time before winter with this organic fertilizer. Would you agree with my thought process here? Or do I not have to worry about that too with the organic because if the organic isn't "digested" by warm temps then it's not "pushing" the lawn anyway. --Been watching all your videos and REALLY appreciate your work!

[@HowTowithDoc]

Yes... put it down. Plenty of time.

[@patriceb7472]

I am confused. Is the the PGF with the 7-1-2 or instead of, and should I still use the super juice. That is really quite a wallet whopper! I know you said your not the$$ counter, but is it really worth it to change from 7-1-2? Thanks great info.

[@michaelblank7733]

Doc, Do you have a video on treating dollar spots? I have quite a few in my front yard and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@mattuptain3923]

Yes, I have what I think are dollar spots also. It appears as though fungus is something I am going to have to learn to deal with.

[@HowTowithDoc]

www.howtowithdoc.com/docs-product-links/lawn-fungus-products/ Use the granular all over, then hit spots with disease with the spray.

[@lindylu8414]

Can we just use the organic fertilizer and nothing else. Wa State. cool grass no irrigation. We don't need the best lawn just a fairly green lawn. Thank you for your time. Lindy Lu 😊

[@isaiahcastillo3087]

Hey Doc, I just down some pre emergent yesterday. But I also need to treat for fungus & I need fertilizer put down. Would it be safe to put liquid fungus & granular treatment and liquid & granular fertilizer all at once? Or should I wait in between the fungus & fertilizer treatments? If so, how long do I wait in between? Thanks in advance!

[@HowTowithDoc]

Damn boy...… you're gett'n busy. LOL... Spray the fungus treatment early one day with no rain and let dry for 24 hours. Then hit it with everything else. I like the fungus treatment to sit for at least 24 hours with no water, rain, or spray.

[@richardchall9245]

Hey Doc, my question is why do you not have enough results on the other two test areas but you are promoting the third sample. Shouldn’t you wait till you have ample time on all three test strips before making a choice?

[@HowTowithDoc]

This round of testing was only on the organic. 5 different test areas over 3 months.

[@daviddelgado8669]

Can I use ironite with milorganite?

[@gregwayne6785]

Did you treat “this” area with anything or is it untreated?

[@bitTorrenter]

What about a 3-1-2 or a 7-1-1 fertiliser? I've seen the former marketed as plant food, the latter as lawn food. Surely you only supply what's required? In terms of soil microorganisms, their bodies have a 8:1 C:N ratio but they require an additional 16 parts C for energy. So the perfect C:N ratio for them to thrive is 24:1.

For your next product can you work on organic weed preventer that actually works.

[@adamvandemark1798]

I am putting some PGF Complete out this evening. Would you recommend putting some of this out in a month or so or should I stick to just one type of fertilizer?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Organics are used only in warmer months. 80+ degrees.

[@Ninja187Rules]

Hey Doc. I live over here on Fish and Chips Island (England). What is the best equivalent fertilizer over here that I can get?

[@Joalse]

Is super juice organic?

[@BermudaBrian]

Hey Doc, what is the difference in this and the DuMor chicken feed that you used to promote?

[@HowTowithDoc]

The organic fert is mainly crushed soybean with some minors added. Very targeted and measured. Chicken feed I would consider mainly an organic add.

[@_GR1T_]

That didn't take long, it's already out at Amazon. Geez Doc, did ALL your subscribers order a bag of this?

[@SG-jv5zi]

Question: I've been using milorganite for 2 years on a new lawn... My lawn looks great but has developed a thatch issue... is this because the P is too high in the ratio?

[@justinm1621]

So I was right like four weeks ago where is my free bag?

[@ureasmith3049]

I got enough critters digging up my front lawn at night. Last thing I need is add food to attack more.

[@EAcordeon]

Question. I put in Milorganite 2 weeks ago can I still use this product?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Yes, wait about 2 weeks then apply. It's sold out in 48 hours anyways.

[@EAcordeon]

Thanks for your response. I also plan on over seeding in the next two weeks is it ok to apply this before putting down seed?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Yes, fine.

[@tomhigbee5308]

Are you still putting down the Humic DG?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Humic is not a fertilizer... so yes.

[@tomhigbee5308]

Thanks, I've tried the Humic 12 liquid, always clogs up my hose end sprayer. Have recently used the Humic DG. That's what I will use in the future.

[@jmpaul330]

Hey Doc, Great video! I have a question: I had my sent my soil of to be tested and the results came back with recommendations of Organic 5-5-5 or Chemical 16-16-16. The builder put down this sandy top prior to the St. Augustine sod, it has been established for about 1 1/2 yrs now. If I went ahead and got this product, what else could I do to make up the numbers that are lacking in the recommendations, for the organic? The 5-5-5, what I could find, is very expensive, small bags, my lawn is about 3500 sq ft. PS: the front yard is struggling to grow. Thank you, JP
