HOW FERTILIZER IS MADE From Start to Finish - ProPeat

From raw materials to bagged and ready to ship across the country and parts of the world, I had the unique experience of touring ProPeat's plant and warehouse to see how it's done from start to finish. Special thanks to Taylor and everyone at ProPeat for the invitation and the tour.

GREAT and thorough video. I used 17-0-4 as my final fert for season. I spoon fed it to lawn and got great results!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Really cool to see how ProPeat is manufactured. I just started using it myself. I'm excited to see what it brings. Great video Jimmy. 👍🏻👊🏼

[@lawnguy]

This is awesome! I love me some pro peat. 17-0-4

[@pestandlawnginja]

Big T! Such great people at propeat! Game changer

[@jamzach4]

Great video Jimmy. Have tried the 17-0-4 and I’m really happy with it. Will get some more for Spring.

[@donslawns1]

Cool tour!

[@vinnypinatelli221]

Great video I know I'll be ordering some now thanks to all of you that show us these videos and of course its dirty if it was a clean facility I'd be sceptical of buying it

[@ricardoaragon-cordeiro9036]

Huge respect for PROPEAT

[@papamowslow196]

Still so new to the DIY game I’m still trying to figure out what materials to use. So many people I follow and get to learn from are positive about this product. So, I’m going to give it a try. TY for the info.

[@YouMadeMeLawn]

Very cool vid Jimmy!

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Thank you

[@robbiegolding1831]

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing this, Jimbo!

[@silentsyndicate1958]

Very cool to see how it’s done

[@TheUneducatedTeacher]

This is cool. Salute to you gents KM Hemmans The KZbinr

[@ascott6804]

Mad respect! Great product and I'm expecting some of that fert next week! Thanks for showing some behind the curtain info!

[@varnersvisions6800]

I was just asking a coworker if he knew how fertilizer was made! This was awesome!

[@Eyesontheprize27]

Cool video.

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

Looks like a great operation with some great people. Very cool Jimbo 👍

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Definitely

[@bradp.3192]

Your front garden is beautiful, Jimmy. Thanks for the tour of Pro Peat. I was searching for "how plant fertiliser is made" and yours was the only video I could find that showed the actual factory process. Props to you, I'm now a subscriber. Best wishes from a gardener in England!

[@martinlopez-servin3091]

It’s beautiful when an expert that acknowledges the beauty of an outdoor living style sections it and sets his skills.. nothing about culture or heritages

[@karozimathestar929]

Here too

[@dchildress17]

That’s cool. Haven’t tried their product yet but I may add it to my arsenal

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Do it

[@scottbulow33]

What an awesome video! I will definitely try a bag out

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Thank you

[@1975oldschool]

I've used the 13-5-8 in May on my bermuda and was really impressed with it! Thanks for the video!

[@BermudaBrian]

I did the 17-0-4 was good results. What did u like about the 13-5-8?

[@martinlopez-servin3091]

I got over this shit a long time ago

[@martinlopez-servin3091]

Try a higher concentration of potassium and less ammonia for a less damaged grass you get results faster

[@charlesyork454]

Cool.....what material do they use for binder, and when material hits the granulation pan, what moisture content is the peat and mineral fertilizer? Anyone know?

[@chrissobczyk5539]

Great video

[@callmefrog76]

ProPeat out here changing the game. I haven’t been able to try their products yet but I am excited to add it to the plan in the near future

[@waar5243]

great video. greetings from europe

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Thanks for watching!

[@506ROCKSTAR]

What liquid product is used for dust coating? Thanks

[@Dylan_Marshall]

I could tell the interviewer was eager to learn loved this video thank you!

[@Mom23kitties]

Not shipping to UTAH, so how to buy? How far from SLC are they?

[@globalventures3355]

How do you put the micro nutriments in?

[@Aspartamebraintumor]

bet it smells pretty good there

[@pestandlawnginja]

That greensgrade spreads like butter on hot toast

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Ya it does!

[@imho2278]

Peat moss is getting scarce. Do you plan to compost coir or other carbonaceous product???

[@RVALawnLove]

I should give this a try

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Definitely you should.

[@yeshiharegassefa3275]

Sorry boss,i need the over all processes of fertilizer production especially DAP and URA

[@drrmagneto4176]

WHATS THE 11-50-2

[@djosh1200]

Cool look at the making of the product. Sadly not shipping to AZ. How do I get my hands on some of this?

[@JimmyLewisMows]

I know of some people who will travel to the nearest state that has retailers and buy it that way. They have a search tool on their website - www.propeat.com/retailers.php

[@djosh1200]

Jimmy Lewis closest is UT. Not sure I can make that drive for fert :(

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Home Depot also carries it, and it looks like they don't have any restrictions on AZ shipping. Maybe give that a try?

[@djosh1200]

Jimmy Lewis 👀👀 for sure worth a look! Great tip!

[@djosh1200]

Jimmy Lewis from Home Depot offers 7-4-14 / 10-0-10 / 11-11-11. I’m thinking the 11-11-11 would work best on my AZ Bermuda in between my regular Turf Royal 21-7-14 apps?

[@scottsummers6541]

I just got some 17-0-4 and 13-5-8....now have to figure out when to apply it.

Modern fertilizer is extremely vital to Modern agriculture without it we would not be able to produce the amount of food we do.

Hello, dear. Your product is amazing. If you are interested, you can learn about our machines.

They need some iron in the mix.

[@ColeSpolaric]

I like seeing these kinds of videos. However that factory isn't up to the standard of many German factories that look like you can eat off the floor lol.

[@Legendary_UA]

It's fertilizer,not a hospital.

Damn very sustainable, not a very eco friendly company, must use so much peat

There is a difference between messy and disorganized. Disorganized is not good because you can never find anything, messy is just showing it is working

[@YardGuy]

First comment after 30 views.

[@alexthai2456]

you didn't tell us how fertilizer is made..........you just show us which flour is nitrogen, phosphorus and others..........but you didn't show us how to build up and made those things.....you didn't show us what is inside those flour and what made each of those........we want to know how fertilizer is made..........not processing

[@michaelbeza1609]

Yea I don't think they would be willing to share that info I've been looking for that but I haven't been able to find it

[@tainicon4639]

The answer is the haber process. Basically you used electricity to turn the nitrogen in the air (the majority of the air) into ammonia. Ammonia can be further converted into ammonium sulfate by the addition of sulfuric acid (sulfur is mined from volcanic regions and converted to acid in water). Potassium is just mined (potash) you can also make it by burning plants until they are only the white ash. This ash when mixed with water in a pot yields “pot ash ium” (I swear to go that’s a real fact). These are specifically not “organic” as the feed stocks are synthetic. That’s not a problem (most food is produced with it) but organic fertilizers source these molecules by breaking down plants and animal waste (they put it in a giant bin and let bacteria go to town turning it into sludge and then dissolving it in water.

[@melkebonde1969]

This is just mechanical mixing. Not how the ingredients are made.....

[@raphymartinez]

Glad everyone was wearing a mask while talking from so close up (as I sit at home having just tested positive for COVID19)

I found it refreshing to watch! Testing positive is like rolling a dice. You may not even have “the” virus.
