How to properly calibrate your fertilizer spreader without complicated math!

Mr. Munshaw, This isn’t a fertilizer question but what brand & size in diameter of water hose have you seen most successful as a homeowner? Thank you for your time. - Kendal

Hi Kendall, I won't comment on brands, but usually rubber hoses tend to last longest (but it's one of those things you get what you pay for, so they're a little more pricey than other materials). Also, hose diameter and length will have a direct influence on the gallons per minute output from the hose so if you need high output, use fatter and shorter hoses. If you don't need a ton of water pushing through the hose quickly, then a common 1/2 inch hose works fine. That's what I use around my yard and usually it is ok.

@@GrassDoctor Thank you so much for your time! I agree on the rubber hose. The one I’ve had for 14 years just broke on me.

How late in November can 46-0-0 be applied?

You can technically apply right into December but the later you go, the less your grass is growing and the more chance the fertilizer will be lost.
