DIY - The Easiest Way To Spray Grass - How To Have Nice Grass

[@macylandscapingretired]

In my opinion the best KZbin lawn Channel out there. So much knowledge and in depth info. Thanks Pete!

[@peteelvis517]

Pete, thanks for offering the larger sizes for the Adjuvant and the bio- stimulants for folks who have a acre or more of grass this will be extremely helpful. Also, thank you for all of this information you are sharing with us.

[@KJfreshh69]

Man I love this channel man. So glad I found your KZbin a couple years ago. Trying to learn as much as I can. In my opinion I think you know more about grass than anyone I’ve ever seen. I’d love to meet you someday!

[@americantroy77]

Hey Pete congrats on 3k subs 🍾🎉🎊 another milestone reached.

[@GCITurf]

[@springguntunes]

Hey, Pete, I am "in that category". I have four "nice" lawns now that get a full year program with fungus prevention. I have right now three renovations this fall and will be applying annual programs to those next year. I don't borrow money for my business. I bought two of those 4 gallon sprayers and will be ordering two nozzle packs. Maybe next year I can buy a skid sprayer. I'll get their dirt right. Thank you Pete.

[@GCITurf]

Rob Hawkins you will absolutely be blown away at how efficient and accurate you can spray with my sprayer nozzle assembly.

[@scholz222]

GCI Turf Services I can vouche for this. I sprayed my first round of pre E with it. It cannot be any easier. Nice wide spray and makes the job easy.

[@Brian1.]

Can't wait for the warm season project! Thanks Pete!

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

Man this thing utube thing is growing like you have been putting GCI fertilizer on it! So much good stuff at the online store ! Wow Pete did you ever think 3k people would tune in to watch you mow the yard ! Great videos man

[@GCITurf]

BLAH HA HA HA HECK NAW BRO!!! I honestly had no idea this many people would listen to me talk turf. LOL I am having a blast!!

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

GCI Turf Services I’m having fun watching you and learning things along the way .... thanks

Will this lawn care program work on centipede grass?

[@jamesturner9858]

Should you have a separate sprayer for fertilizers and one for pesticides/ fungicide/ herbicide

[@boominrick1987]

love the channel, just sent you an email about my yard. Im getting control of it this year!

[@Cenlalowell]

Question, your nozzle can be used to apply any product? Air8, Celsuis, or Prodiamine

[@GCITurf]

Yes

[@Cenlalowell]

Man I love the nozzle assembly. Thanks

[@rbljackson]

so we are going to see a Bermuda program coming in the near future?? if so...that's a big plus!

[@GCITurf]

Try to find a good Humic Acid product that you can pick up locally

[@jonboysprowash7845]

Is the Natural Adjuvant what u put in the glyphosate to get it to start working overnight?

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Pete, I'm interested to know if you're going to address warm weather turfs like Centipede, St Augustine, Zoysia, etc and I'm interested in the sprayer nozzle but there are no photos of the product, thanks in advance and love your content!

[@GCITurf]

Yeah boy! I have watched many of your vids! I don’t show pictures because I’m in the process of a possible patent on it. You need to just trust me bro. It does everything I say it will and then some. Do you already do turf treatments??

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

GCI Turf Services 😂 I’ll order one, and thanks for watching, love your content as well

[@GCITurf]

And yes....I am putting the warm season program together to be able to offer it.

[@LawnDad]

Another great video Pete! Are all your products applied with a sprayer or do you do some granular too?

[@GCITurf]

The academy fertilizer is granular. Most everything else is liquid. Thats a great question....I think you are the first to ask that

[@LawnDad]

Yeah always lookin’ for new ideas and things to try in the future. This season I am going away from liquids a bit and trying the Jonathan Green line. I won a lawn contest and some of the giveaways were their products. They are from the “healthy soil camp” moto as well. Are you familiar with them at all? I have used Mag-I-Cal before to raise my ph...

[@GCITurf]

Yep. I have spent thousands of $$$ with them. Used to use some of their products in my business. I actually have 1500 squ ft of their Black Beauty fescue in my test plot right now. No doubt they make a quality product. But I do get much more "bang for my buck" with the academy fert. Thats why I switched 3-4 years ago.

[@LawnDad]

Good to know then I should have some decent results with it and the best part is it’s Free!

[@SerranoPE]

Awesome video man. Great content...I've recently subscribed and love what you're putting out. I'm in Connecticut and have 2 plots totalling about 2000sq ft. One plot is bluegrass [dormant right now] and 1 looks like fescues and ryegrass mixed with a little bluegrass. Going to be ordering the big kahuna real soon here, bio-stim pack, sprayer, nozzle, and adjuvant. I have a question, if I want to get answers to specific questions that I have, is the academy for that purpose? Thanks again man, God bless and keep up the great work!

[@GCITurf]

Yep...$49 join the academy. That gets you in a private facebook group that I will answer any question you post to the best of my ability.

[@matthead382]

Hi Pete. Love the channel. Two questions. When will your sprayer nozzle assembly be back in stock? Are you using the nozzle assembly in this video?

[@geneduclos4003]

Hey Pete, always enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time. Wish I would had purchased a battery powered spray now. Are you in the transition zone? I'm here in Cary, NC, and just this year realized that I am in the transition zone.

[@GCITurf]

Gene DuClos you can still get a battery sprayer if you want on. What’s holding you back?

[@geneduclos4003]

budget.

[@GCITurf]

100% understand that my friend

[@Methodical2]

Pete, when I go to the page for the nozzle I don't see a photo of it. The page doesn't have a photo of either of the nozzles and I'd like to see what they looks like. Why no photo of the nozzle. Will the nozzle kit work on the Chapin 63985 4-Gallon powered sprayer - thread wise. Thanks

[@GCITurf]

Methodical2 yes it fits a chapin. You just need to put a little extra thread tape to make it work. Working on a patent. Once I do then pics. Don’t worry. You’ll love it

[@Methodical2]

Thanks for the feedback. Is the nozzle and adjustable nozzle? Do you have a video demonstrating how the nozzle work? I looked but didn't find it.

[@GCITurf]

It is not adjustable. It does spray 8ft wide making your spraying much more efficient. You do get a video when you make the purchase

[@michaelhorn1181]

Hey Pete. I have a my 4 sons battery sprayer M4 4 gallon sprayer. would the nozzle assembly and trim tip work with that?

[@GCITurf]

I am sure you can easily fit it to work

[@PCasey144]

Pete looks like you hit 3K subs congrats! With spring hitting I'm sure everyone is about to find your channel so i wont be surprised when that number explodes. I just bought one of the sprayers you recommend. I'm on the fence with purchasing your sprayer nozzle. Was just wondering if you had anymore info about it even a picture so I can justify spending that for it. Thanks for all the awesome vids keep them coming.

[@GCITurf]

PCasey144 how big is your lawn? And how long does it take you to spray it now? I need those answers before I can answer you

[@PCasey144]

4000 sq not sure how long but i sprayed prodiamine one year out of a hand can it took to long so i went with granular this year

[@GCITurf]

PCasey144 my way is WAAAYYYY Cheaper. How much did that pre emergent cost youndor 4K squ ft?

[@PCasey144]

$50 for 50lb bag of pennington 0-0-7 yes 4k sq ft

[@GCITurf]

PCasey144 do you recall how much active ingredient of ore emergent is on that label? Did you use all 50lbs on the lawn?

[@julieelizabeth9807]

Do you do lawns in Lexington NC? Thanks for the good video

[@GCITurf]

Julie Summers sorry. We do not go that far out

[@krehbein]

Is that adjuvant non ionic? I already have the non ionic stuff, wondering if it’s the same. Also, do you use an adjuvant for fungicide applications?

[@GCITurf]

Kevr not non ionic. We use natural Adjuvant in EVERY liquid application we apply. It’s so much more than a surfactant. You’ll understand once I post that video.

[@ashdb4157]

Your links are not working...

[@MyrickWillard7]

Will your neighbor's yard that your playing with in some videos be on a similar program that you have all of your regular clients on (like with Fungicides and Pesticides, etc...)? And will you be showing videos doing the Fungicides?

[@milanjurich1526]

Hi Pete ... love your videos. What does the sprayer nozzle assembly accomplish over the standard nozzles with the Sprayers Plus? Just a wider swath of spray ... 2x or 1 1/2x the standard nozzle width? More volume or flow? If one has an 8000 sq. ft. lawn, is this beneficial, or does it mainly apply to larger properties?

[@scholz222]

Milan Jurich I bought it from Pete for my first round of pre E. It has about a 8 foot wide swath that is consistent. I spray my 13,000 sq ft yard in about 20 minutes with it. It's a must by if you are using the battery powered sprayer. He's spent some time making it perfect and easy to use.

[@GCITurf]

Milan Jurich 8ft wide. How big is your lawn?

[@milanjurich1526]

GCI Turf Services Hi Pete ... just under 8000 sq. ft.

[@GCITurf]

Milan Jurich you would need the 2 gallon battery sprayer with the sprayer nozzle assembly. I pre calibrated that combo to cover 8,000 squ ft on the dot. Took me 4 mths of testing to do that. Lol. You can spray 8K in about 3 minutes and your application will be deadly accurate. Those are the 2 advantages of this setup.

[@milanjurich1526]

GCI Turf Services Hi Pete ... I did just buy & receive the 2 gal battery powered unit from Sprayers Plus through your link ... thanks for the Free Shipping. From what I gather, the performance of that sprayer will go up with the Nozzle Assembly.

Hey Pete, new to the channel, just wondering if you have a video or any tips on someone struggling with quack grass? You said crab grass was the devil, but quack grass is so bad that it doesn’t even have a classification.

[@GCITurf]

Yes it is friend. If I run across some I will pull the camera at you

[@krehbein]

For those diy’ers out there can you tell us what the setup is on the nozzle assembly and what tip your using.

[@Cenlalowell]

Just buy it. It's worth every penny. I love it for broadcast spraying

[@projectenergy]

Nicholas Jasmine I see he sprayed it fast but the rates are per 1 gallon, 4 gallon tank would be 3 refills for 12k sq feet.

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

Hey! I want the nozzle my backpack sprays at 70 psi on the low setting I think the sprayers plus is 40 psi will the nozzle work on my back pack ... I really would like to have the lower volume like you are getting out of your set up so I don’t have to reload so much

[@GCITurf]

Paul's Prime Cuts what brand is it

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

GCI Turf Services flowzone typhoon

[@GCITurf]

Paul's Prime Cuts I have no clue. I’d say yes. Sprayer nozzle assembly fits perfectly on several other brand battery sprayers. Worse case you’d have to buy an adapter. That’s all

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

GCI Turf Services I can put an adapter on to make it fit ... I was just wondering how the extra psi would effect it thanks bro

[@jefchaplin6205]

Hey, great information and hey #getyourdirtright 👍

[@GCITurf]

LOL

[@brobert2.077]

Blessings Pete, So sometimes I get confused so need to clarify things so sorry.... You did 12000 sq with a 4 gallon carrier. Are you short on your product? I figured you would have refill twice to do 12000 sq.

[@GCITurf]

No worries bro. I used 3 gallons of finished product to cover 12,000 squ ft. My sprayer is calibrated at 1 quart per 1000 squ ft. 4 quarts in 1 gallon.. 4x3=12. Does this make sense now?

[@brobert2.077]

GCI Turf Services it makes since that you explained that way. I guess I don't understand why you went from galloons to quarts.

[@GCITurf]

Always remember. WE DONT CALIBRATE BY GALLONS OR QUARTS......OR BY ANY VOLUME....Its all per 1000 squ ft :) The calibration is achieved when you know how many many gallons/quarts goes on the 1000 squ ft

[@GCITurf]

because I choose to spray at the calibration rate of 1 quart per 1000. I could spray at 1 gallon per 1000 if I chose to. Its all about preference. If I sprayed at 1G/1000 I could only cover 4000 squ feet with a 4 gallon sprayer. By spraying at 1 qut per 1000 i can cover 16,000 squ ft with that same 4 gallons of water. That make sense?

[@kentitus6457]

Hi Pete hope you can help me I bought the 105E battery sprayer plus and your sprayer nozzle assembly and the trim pass nozzle so when I did my sprayer calibration it took 43 seconds to get to 32 ounces of water. So if I understand this right with 4 gallons of water I can spray 16,000 square-foot of yard am I total yard I need to spray is 17,500 square-foot so if I need 6 ounces of product let’s say humic 12 then for the 4 gallons I need 96 ounces is this correct I think I’m confusing myself

[@mr.awesomeness4946]

Hey Pete, my lawn has been neglected for while, its mostly weeds and who knows what. Will the academy help my lawn or would i need a complete renovation?

[@GCITurf]

If its a total wreck then don't waste money on the academy right now. deal with the bad lawn another summer and renovate this fall

[@philthelawnman]

Get the weeds controlled this summer with selective herbicide. Be sure to use a good preemergant and time it so you can do a lawn rehab this fall. Put down 10 to 13 pounds of seed per 1k aware feet. Dust the seed with peat and topsoil. Keep it watered 3 times per day till it is green then 1 inch of water per week.
