Informative and from a different perspective. COMPO (German brand) has Floranid with crotidur and isodur. Together with DCM (Belgian brand) they offer the best quality and balanced fertilizer on the market. And yes, it's always best to do a soil test. Regards, a Belgian.

Most importantly I'm a stay at home dad... but professionally I'm a content producer and educator just like you see here on this channel. I run educational websites mostly, this channel of course, my newest project Turf Mechanic Briefs (on KZbin), and unbeknownst to most of my viewers of yard care topics I also run the topoffmycoffee website and corresponding youtube channel where I try to help people out with coffee related information and product purchases. These online endeavors pay the bills for me and they buy my kids pop tarts whenever I feel like I want to be hero dad. :)

It makes a big difference what type of grass you have and what type of soil you have. In most places Nitrogen is the only macronutrient your lawn will ever need and people waste their effort and money on other treatments. I'd say that without knowing what you have in the ground you need a soil test first. When people ask how my lawn stays so green I simply answer: Nitrogen, water only when it is dry, mow it high, mow often, and soak it down with a trimec type product late fall. That's it. Nothing for bugs, nothing for thatch, nothing more for weeds, takes some time to mow so often but its very simple and cheap. Where you live lawn needs might be more complicated.

I might add that it’s best to mulch your clippings and research is showing that you should expect to reduce your N requirement from 4lbs to 2lbs annually just by leaving the clippings. There’s incredible research coming out of John Kempf at Advanced Eco Agriculture which shows that the correct amount of calcium may be even more important than N and that we shouldn’t think of making grass grow as much as driving photosynthesis which is truly the best way of thinking about plants. I would also add that it’s not really the N that the grass needs as much as the synthesized amino acids. Research is showing that adding aminos versus N helps turf process more during stress like high heat and drought. I’ve been adding aminos to my summer program so it’s too early for me to give my assessment. Love your sweat equity but just curious why you deferred the organic matter. They are working with farms in central Texas and the data is showing that getting your soil “fluffy” to the greatest depth possible is where the magic is as soils releasing CO2 in the morning drives the N cycle most effectively. It’s my goal but wet clay is the bain of my lawn care journey

Sure can, its all just labeling gimmics used for marketing purposes. The only thing that really matters is the source of nitrogen as some don't work in cool soil, other sources are high on the salt index making them harder to manage in high heat. Natural sources on nitrogen need to be broken down by soil life to be used by grass.

Yep, just last week or so I applied a half app of milo only a couple weeks or so after a small app of lawn luxe. Combined these apps give a good nearly even mix of N and K with a little less P - all natural sources so nothing fast acting. Milo gave a touch or iron, lawn luxe got me a touch of sulfur and humic acid, topped it all off with my mid-summer d-thatch and cytogro for biostimulants, it all works in tandem without pushing unnecessary growth. In a few weeks I'll core aerate again and top dress with azomite and biochar probably...oooo I can't wait! 😁

Absent a soils test, applying other nutrients besides nitrogen is simply a wild assed guess. Yes, other nutrients are necessary, but many soils already contain sufficient nutrients for healthy growth. Nitrogen is always in short supply since it is used voraciously by plants/microbes. Virtually every soils test will show nitrogen deficiency (unless you've taken it immediately after a nitrogen application). It's the rest of the nutrients that need to be looked at - in many cases, soils will already have good to high nutrient levels. So feeding your garden a high nitrogen fertilizer is likely a far better bet for the Average Joe than adding so-called 'balanced' fertilizers that lead to excess nutrient levels and runoff contaminating groundwater/creeks/rivers/lakes. For some gardens, it's PH levels that matter most - if your PH levels are very high/low, nutrient uptake can be drastically effected. Adding more fertilizer will not help and can make things even worse. One more reason to do regular soils testing. Do a soils test before you do any fertilization so you know what nutrients are needed.

@TurfMechanic
@TurfMechanic 2 жыл бұрын
Always a good question. Most lawns will look fine with 2lb N per year and great with 4lb but some can easily take more even though it's probably not nessesary. If you think you are losing fert due to sandy soil then consider switching to either a spoon feeding schedule of light applications every couple weeks (not my preference) or to organic fertilizers from either plant or animal sources. Although these are usually more expensive you will see nearly no loss of nutrients at all over the year and the products will improve your soil structure slowly over time. Just think if you apply 4lb of standard N to a lawn in a year but lose half of it to a mix of groundwater and the atmosphere, you could probably get similar results applying half as much naturally sourced fert because none of it will be lost - it isnt water soluble and wont gas off like urea does. Food for thought.

We've got a language barrier but I think you are asking how to get nitrogen into the soil - if you have access to clippings, weeds, or other plants that would otherwise go to waste or compost you could submerge them in water and let them sit for a couple weeks. The water will get pretty gross and smelly but a lot of the nitrogen will leech out into the water and once strained it can be used to inject nitrogen into the soil for either lawns or gardens. The physical material that is strained out of the water after a couple weeks can then be placed in a regular compost pile for use later if desired. As for soil pH, the more life you can inject into the soil via plants, grass, soil biology the soil will slowly revert to a more neutral zone as the season pass. You could speed it up though by topdressing with soil sulfur (elemental sulfur). Once the soil is closer to 7.0 ph or upper 6 ph than most plants, grass included, will perform and grow much better with fewer inputs. Hope that helps a bit.

You can apply at the same time although it may make sense to apply micros ahead by a few days or weeks. That's a level of granularity that's probably overkill for most people though. Just think of it like cereal and milk, you can't have a satisfying bowl of cereal without milk and vise-versa. You can pour a bowl of either on their own and fill your stomach but it's just not the same as having them together. I tend to fertilize with micros earlier in the year, Spring, but if you only apply once or twice even if you apply N 3-6 times a year you'll probably be fine.

my great grandfather was in his 90s when he died in 1984. I was four when he died. My dad would have been in his teens and 20s in the 60s and 70s before I was born this would have made my G-Grandfather in his 60s to 70s when my dad visited him as I described in this video. These are just family stories so I don't have exact dates or anything but seems to make sense to me regarding my dad having a 70 year old grandfather around 1970 when most cars could still be worked on in a basic garage with standard tools. To this day my great grandfather is the man I'd choose to go back in time to spend time with. My family tells me so many incredible stories about him. He was a professor at university but never went to college himself (I'm told), he did some invention work in mechanics, and was very well involved in the church too. He also loved his baseball and I'd love to pick his brain about the classic era of baseball way back in the day.

That's seven minutes I'll never get back. Every commercial fertilizer I've ever seen has contained Nitrogen, usually around 20% and the number one ingredient. So what's the point of this rambling video?

Waters not really wasted it just goes back in the system through the ground or the air. The Earth’s water system is closed like a terrarium. The Earth has the same amount of water now as it had millions of years ago.
