Fertilizer Numbers. How To Calculate Pounds In A Liquid.

Time to Talk Ferty! Lets learn about calculating percentages in a liquid. The math is the same on dry vs liquid because all percentages are based on weight. the simple equation is Weight times Percent equals pounds. W x % = LB. Establish the container size and weight on the label, find analysis and fire away.

I don't even need to watch your videos to give you a thumbs up. I know it's going to be good, and I'm going to learn something.👍

I love it when we talk maff!

First, as someone looking to migrate from granular to liquids over the next year or two this information you share is extremely helpful.

[@erichughes6119]

Lawncology lawn journals, with information printed on the inside of the covers, would sell great to the diy community.

[@Lawncology]

Eric Hughes yes it would. It’s been talked about

[@TheLawnGuardian]

If math was taught in terms of lawn care in school I would have learned things a lot faster. 🤣 Thanks, John. 👍

[@Lawncology]

The Lawn Guardian haha! I spend so much time doing math with my kids, after I watched this video I see why they get frustrated with me.

[@TheLawnGuardian]

@@Lawncology yeah I remember my parents helping me. I have several more years before I get to try to confuse my kids on their school work. Although my wife is a chemist so I'll rely on her a bit more.

[@benharrison1069]

Good, simple video, John. Thanks for sharing. Math never lies.

[@lushlawns8904]

John I love the commitment to education

[@Lawncology]

Lush Lawns thanks boss. Gotta stay on top of it and I do have a tendency to skip over the basics

[@the-handy-fixer]

Fantastic information. Appreciate it bigly!

Love the video my brother

[@yardsdoneright3919]

Great video.

[@davidclough735]

Can't wait until your labels get approved in Oregon so I can order more product

[@TMG363]

Great information and videos John! Can you please explain humic-12 per pound based upon liquid app vs granular. Thanks!

[@GrassDaddy]

See that's why I don't write out my math =P Glad I'm not the only one writing things in the wrong order ;-)

[@Lawncology]

Grass Daddy brain to fast for hand sometimes 😜

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

Schools in. Thanks John.😁👍👍

[@murtaghslawncare.]

Genius!

[@psbeaman]

Thanks. JP. What do you think is min lbs of nutrient to apply? Is there a “pointless” rate? Example never below .1 or something?

[@TheLawnStripes]

ferty and nerdy. that should be on a shirt.

[@Lawncology]

The Lawn Stripes oh it will be 😁

[@samuelasamoah6906]

Please,where's the link you spoke of in the video

[@fabianbartalos]

Nice content once again. Was going to start using 18-0-1 this season for my hop plants and they usually take about 3lbs of N per 1000. My question is should I apply this at a lower rate and apply to the crown of the plant as a tea mix instead or still foliar apps as you would to turf? Thanks for any replies

[@Lawncology]

Fabian Bartalos that’s exactly what I would do. Drenches would be better

[@chrisyoung8062]

do you have, or do you know of, a video that goes into an explanation of why the N per 1m rates are so much lower with liquids than granular? I do understand that there are inefficiencies with granular because of the process by which the plant takes up the nutrients whereas through a foliar feeding the plant takes it in more directly. I'd like to know if there are any comparisons, studies that looked at rates? i.e. if you're putting .5lbs N/1m granular, using .1lbs N/1m resulted in the same N levels in the tissue of the blade (just making these numbers up as an example). A local supplier who sells a liquid 18-3-6 SRN product has a recommended all liquid plan for an entire season. The plan calls for other things (micros) in addition to the fert, but when I do the math the amount of N that is being put down for the entire season (over 8 separate feedings) is .72lbs N/1m. That seems so low to me when most advocate something like 4lbs N/1m over the season. I'm confused.

[@DougKremer]

Good math, it is quite simple.

[@Lawncology]

Kremerneon simple as a pimple

[@stevestory8483]

Great video as usual! I have your bio stim starter pack and was wondering what your recommendation would be for using MicroGreene on a new (6mos old) Hong Kong Orchid tree that looks very unheathy (leaves are discolored and not blooming well) I’m located in tamp FLORIDA and have tried to fertilize the tree with a shake and feed but was wondering if the MicroGreene would be a better solution but was unsure about what amount of product to use or if it would be worth it? Thanks for any advice

[@Lawncology]

Steve Story apply the microgreene at the base of the tree at one ounce per caliper inch of trunk. Mix into about a gallon of water and just soak the base. Wait about two weeks and then apply again.

[@stevestory8483]

Lawncology awesome thanks so just measure the thickness of trunk and then 1 oz per inch. Can I use a hose end sprayer or should I mix everything in a bucket and pour at the base? Just asking because the ortho hose end sprayer holds nowhere near a gallon of water. Thanks again

[@jacobm7]

Hey John, great video! About your short off topic discussion on liquid potassium, and correcting soil potassium levels :) In your opinion, would putting down 4lbs of a 0-0-50(granular) be a safe application rate for Sulfate of Potash? I was thinking about doing that once this year, maybe twice...

[@Lawncology]

Jacob Mossner that would be a lot at once. I would go at 2lbs multiple times just because it can dry out and stress the grass if you load it.

[@jacobm7]

Sounds good, makes sense thank you!

[@Lawncology]

Jacob Mossner and thank you for taking that detour with me

[@jamesonmurphrey8583]

Hey john. Off topic, but I just ordered the humic 12 and rgs combo from the lcn website. I have really low cec and less than 1% organic matter. If I make monthly applications of these products, how much and what timeline should I see improvement in these numbers?

[@Lawncology]

Jameson Murphrey you will be him to see better turf response almost immediately. The humic12 will increase the CEC. The root mass increases will change your OM. You will visibly see a change in your soil this season

[@jamesonmurphrey8583]

👍thanks for the response! I'm excited to see the results.

[@chrisluckey2606]

John, I’m in south Florida with st. Aug. I am committing this year to a total liquid Next program. I am supplementing my green punch with micro green and green effect , along with your other products. How should I apply the green punch. What months should I apply during the year. Thanks Chris

[@Lawncology]

chris Luckey hey Chris, run 1801 January through May monthly 15 ounces. Take a break then do July. Skip August. Hit September October November and break for December. This will give you 2.25lbs of N for the year which is half of the Florida recommended rate. Congrats, you are making a difference for Florida’s water.

[@drewmadere9935]

Thanks, I will need to review this a few more times to get it to sink in 😕😕😳😳

[@kove]

Arithmetic is certainly a use-it-or-lose-it type of thing

[@krystinasolack7467]

Hey John, off topic here, but any issues adding Soluble Boron to your MicroGreene product? Would save me some time...thanks!

Krystina Solack go for it

[@heavymechanic2]

Just invested into a 20-gal spray tank (electric) to apply Next products and related liquids to get a decent foliar application. The hose applicator does not seem to be the best application method.

[@Lawncology]

heavymechanic2 which one did you get?

[@heavymechanic2]

@@Lawncology its a FIMCO 20G TRAILER SPRAYER with 2 spray NOZZLES and a 2-GPM pump and runs around 40-PSI. I'm getting ready to put down some RGS

[@kevinstewart3778]

Okay I think if I hear you correctly John, are you saying? "Pounds-on-the -ground, pounds-on-the-ground, look at you looking like a fool with too much pounds-on-the-ground?" #SoilFertility

[@Lawncology]

Kevin Stewart lol. Perfeect

[@kevinstewart3778]

Lawncology lol. That’s free too! Be good.

[@erichughes6119]

John Perry, I've heard you say before to send your soil sample results to you. I haven't done a soil sample yet but I need to soon. Is this something you will actually do is look at these? If so, where do we email these? Btw, will "painting her black" skew results like fertilizer will? Also, thank you for sharing information with us!

[@Lawncology]

Eric Hughes I will take a look and you will want to sample and test the soil before your first application of fertilizer. And fert will skew results. [e-mail]

[@RVALawnLove]

First

[@lovetofly32]

Now take 2000 gallons of 20-0-0 and mix it with 200 gallons of 12-0-0-26 and 200 gallons of 6-0-0-0-16.5 and tell me how many gallons per acre you need to put down to get 70 units!! Thats the stuff that I'm confused on! It's easy to figure ONE product. It's when you mix three of them that have different percentages and different amounts!

[@Lawncology]

It’s all the same. Percentage times weight. Each product has a unit measurement.
