Don't Waste Your Money at This Point

[@Rick_Schott]

I don't know how many times I've explained to people why it's not necessarily a good idea to wait to throw down winterizer until after the first hard frost. It's what they've been taught and they don't want to hear anything else. It's a shame really but thanks for spreading better practices.

[@TurfTherapy]

Hey Richard I appreciate the words, bro.! That's what it's all about. Being the best stewards we can be while using sound agronomic practices. 💪🏾✌️🏾🌱

[@Percival3Smithers]

I liked, "Not a fan of "hoping for the best" when I'm not even doing [the right thing]". Good advice for living life.

[@EaveeDoesIt]

well said! apply products at the correct timing to yield the best result with the least amount of environmental impact! I actually stopped applying fertilizer about 3 weeks before my first frost because the grass just doesn't show any signs that it needs any more fertilizer and it would just push unnecessary growth and mowing.

[@TurfTherapy]

Exactly bro! And yes, some circumstances call for an earlier application for sure 💪🏾✌️🏾🌱

Im really enjoying your channel. One of the few (if only) ones that dont start all advice with just throwing tons of product ($$$$) on a lawn.

[@TurfTherapy]

I'm well past that phase. It's easy to follow the hype when you haven't done independent research or studied for yourself. Take it easy on them, and hopefully, one day, they'll come around. Thanks for the feedback and support ✌️🏾💪🏾🌱

Really a different game with cool season grass. Different rules for our warm season grass. No real dormancy in central FL but growth does slow down so we can still fertilize with high K though don’t think it’s absolutely necessary.

[@TurfTherapy]

Yeah, contextually, this is a cool-season channel, and he was referring to cool-season lawns. I also agree that the high K is not necessary for warm seasons. Thanks for watching 💪🏾🌱

[@flch95]

@@TurfTherapy Allyn gives good advice for warm season lawns and has helped many to have great lawns, but the advice for cool season here seems odd. I watched a couple of your videos and I used to live up north. Looks like I was unknowingly doing some things right lol. I miss my cool season lawns. Doesn’t require nearly as much work as st. Augustine grass to make it pop.

Solid resource here Rob, nice to see more youtubers use the word "nitrification'. I cutoff urea once soil temps drop below 50, ammonium sulphate is much better for colder temps and natural sources of N can be put down super late for breakdown over winter by all those fungal decomposes that nobody ever talks about. Lots more could be added to all of your points but then again I talk too much all the time. Good job presenting this for edu sake!

[@MagnumVideos]

Great info Turf! I enjoy watching your videos so much. I just aerated and overseeded 22 days ago. I have good germination for the most part but there are a few small areas that still have baby grass sprouting out. My existing turf needs mowing, but I'm wondering if I should hold off a little longer so I don't rip up any of the seedlings. We got two inches of rain last night so I think that's why I'm seeing all the new seedlings coming up. I anxiously await your advice on the mowing.

[@TurfTherapy]

Thanks man. I appreciate the feedback. Congratulations on your successful overseed 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 As for your first mow let your soil dry out a bit and go for it. Get on and get off it. No need for it to be a perfect mow and easy on your turns. ✌️🏾🌱

[@MagnumVideos]

@@TurfTherapy Thanks for the reply! I'm reading you loud and clear. Maybe a couple days will let it dry out and the little graylings grow a little taller. Thanks so much for the advice.

Lots of research out there on this topic. Fall Fertilization Timing Effects on Nitrate Leaching and Turfgrass Color and Growth: "Applying fall fertilizer improved turf color and increased shoot density, chlorophyll concentration, reflectance index, and clipping yield in our cool-season turf lawn. However, no differences in color, clipping yield, chlorophyll concentration, shoot density, or root mass were found among the 15 October, 15 November, or 15 December treatments. In contrast to this, however, the data from this study suggest a potential negative impact to water quality by applying fertilizer late in the fall. Both NO32N concentrations and mass losses in percolate water increased with later application dates. These findings suggest that the current recommendation of applying N in mid- to late November in southern New England may not be compatible with water quality goals. Water quality concerns would dictate an early or low-rate fall application if soluble N fertilizer is used, or no fall N application. Because NO32N concentrations and mass losses were elevated in the fall and winter in this study, consideration of temperature, moisture, and existing available soil N is of particular concern when making fall fertilizer recommendations. More research addressing the interactions of the effects of timing, source, and rate is necessary before optimal application recommendations for fall fertilizer can be made with confidence. Concerns about the timing of fall-applied fertilizer are especially relevant in northern climates where cold weather and high precipitation in the fall and winter limit potential plant uptake and increase the likelihood of considerable N leaching losses." Rethinking Fall Fertilization - University of Nebraska - Lincoln: "Nitrogen in the soil solution is transported to the roots via plant transpiration through a process called mass flow. The higher the transpiration rate, the more nitrogen gets to the roots. Low evapotranspiration during late fall limits mass flow and reduces access to nitrogen. As a result, nitrogen from late fall fertilization either sits in the soil until the grass resumes growth in the spring or it is lost through processes such as leaching (especially in sand-based soils during high precipitation winters). This work has since been replicated and confirmed by researchers at the University of Minnesota and Penn State University."

One thing i learned that most people dont know is how big a single grass plant actually is. I have a 4x4 planter on my desk with one rye plant in it, Its filled the whole area plus some. I estimate the 5 month old plant has 75 blades. That young sapling this year will be a lot bigger next summer.

Absolutely! You have to give room for these plants to fill in and mature. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience bro ✌️🏾🌱

Great video Turf. I do two applications each fall. Once in September and Once in October. Great point as well on the dormant seeding. I have considered it but I haven't really seen anybody with great results from it and also seed is expensive right now to throw away.

I over seeded but most of it is good, but I still waiting for some seedings to pop up. I'm in the transition zone of NC, I seeded with GCI Cool Blue which is 85% ttff and 15% kbg, my question is should I throw down my fall fertizer now even though I'm waiting for more grass to pop up?

[@TurfTherapy]

If its time for an application absolutely go for it!

[@DeadphishyEP3]

If you want fertilizer for spring, apply it in the spring. Letting it "winter" is how you fertilize your storm sewer.
