Thanks for your wonderful tips but do you have any regarding controlling ants...the ant hills can create muddy patches and kill the grass and it looks very unsightly. Thanks in advance and keep up the great videos....I watch them all...

You say these tips take people's lawns to the next level- I bought a box of ammonium sulphate for 4 quid, used a fifth of it on my lawn and within a week I've got the best stripes I've ever had and folk are stopping to admire the grass. Keep up the good work 👌🏼

Hi Robbie another excellent video, I appreciate your calculations just wondered if you had a video in mind about using Ammonia of Sulphate, Iron of sulphate and seaweed all in the same knapsack sprayer speeding up applications and if indeed you would recommend as such? I understand some products may congeal so might not be a good idea just thought it might be work doing and show calculations considering nitrogen content. Cheers keep the video's coming absolutely awesome.

[@markscott7467]

Robbie and Derek, i would be keen to know this also. Im about to apply and am thinking of mixing all three together. Will give it a go and let you know how i go. If it all goes wrong i will update 🙂

[@derekdickinson1]

I'm currently fighting a builder's lawn - turf laid over badly rotivated clay. Just dug out a rock right below the turf that was so big I couldn't lift it and had to roll it out of the way. The best way to cut out turf, backfill the hole so it doesn't sink and put the grass back would be a good video.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Not sure how I could do a video on it that would be helpful.

[@davidlawless3044]

Hi Robbie, If you are using a knapsack to apply sulphate of ammonia, based on your usage calculation what size/type nozzle are you using?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

For weed control we tend to use Hypro 110° Flat Fan Spray Nozzles & seaweed, iron, feeds Hypro Deflector nozzles...

[@davidlawless3044]

That’s great to know but which Hypro nozzle for use with Sulphate of Ammonia?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

It depends... They have different output rates and widths etc. it's not a 1 size fits all. I can't give you specifics, as I don't know what sprayer your using, the amount of products your using etc. But I have told you what nozzles we use

[@davidlawless3044]

Also, how long would you go between iron sulfate and nitrogen treatments on the lawn?

[@JamieYork-vl6uc]

Hi Mate, Great video. I have 2 types of Iron Sulphate, Granular and Liquid, Which would you reccomend to use on a lawn really bad with Moss ? Also are you in favour of applying the iron a week or 2 before scarifying and aerating to first blacken the moss ? Or would you say to scarify and aerate first and then apply the iron ? ... I am also looking to overseed and top dress and would ideally like to do this on the same day and also apply a selective weedkiller to help tackle the weeds. what order would you be looking at carrying this out ?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

There is a lot to unpack there. Most of that stuff you should be able to do without any issues If you want to overseed though, best to leave the weed control for 3 months or longer either side

[@andicampbell8621]

Great video Robbie. Very informative 👍

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@grahammacklam4736]

Great follow up there Robbie. The nitrogen rates are interesting because you can compare them with what the S.T.R.I recommends as a yearly rate. I found out earlier when I was looking into it that phosphate is only recommended at 2g per m2 a year and nitrogen 15-20 g per m2, potassium 8-15g per m2. It works out that after a few applications of most granular products we are in fact over applying phosphorus. It's probably better to just use a granular product once in the spring and switch to liquids or use some zero phosphorus granular products.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Graham that is exactly the kind of programme most golf courses follow. The granular in the spring gives them some body then they keep it topped up with the liquids during the season.

[@mickeyhughes7244]

[@markcromie3572]

My new lawn at the start I put down the 4 in 1.. it worked great. Should I put that down again as the weeds are coming through a bit again. Should this be put down.

[@gopikrishnayogarajah]

Robbie , the bag of 21-0-0 sulphate of ammonia you recommended shows an application rate of 24g/m2 for lawns whereas your calculation shows 2.5g/m2 .

One more Robbie. On the Elixir link for Sulphate of Ammonia they have 'The suggested application rate is 24g/m2 for usage on lawns'. That would be 240kg/ha. The calcs in the video are a tenth of that. Is that because it is just a top up tonic?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

That is correct. If you put it on at that rate on a liquid, the plant would get it all at once.

Hi Robbie just a quick question on the amount of water used for a mix, lets say it works out you need 6L of water for your 100m2 to spray on a product. But I used 10L of water same amount of product over the 100m2, would that then work out I have put less product on because it has been diluted more? I read somewhere that it doesn’t matter that more water has been used, but I am not sure that’s correct. What’s your thoughts ?
