Lawn Organic Fertilizer

Doc explains the role of lawn organic fertilizers and how they work. A key element of adding organic matter to your lawn is a healthy soil. Good microbes and good fungus help our lawns grow and reduce the amount of fertilizers needed. By adding organic lawn fertilizers we feed the living organisms in the soil.
The lawn makes organic molecules such as sugars by photosynthesis and supplies them to the fungus, and the fungus supplies to the grass water and mineral nutrients, such as phosphorus, taken from the soil.

I'm from Ireland and I used an organic lawn feed that had feather meal, blood meal,fish meal and seaweed it had amazing results the swards got thicker so I got a very tight cut.

[@joegardepe73]

I added the chicken feed to my yard and my phosphorus level is off the charts!

[@johnhamilton9229]

Hi Doc. I live next to Pinehurst NC and drive by the courses regularly. I must say your lawn looks better than a few of their holes. Absolutely amazing.

[@WhittyPics]

My neighborhood is just starting to wake up and yours is green and thriving already

[@alan30189]

And we even had frost here in Atlanta, as recent as last week. 😆

[@unaffiliated_x9279]

My lawn is poppin, thanks for all the tips Doc

[@pauldouglas274]

Used the chicken feed twice during the heat of last summer, it was followed by an armadillo attack that resulted in dozens of ripped up holes in the yard big ugh. Yard was looking great thanks to your advice PGF complete/super juice/humichar. Not going to take a chance again this year.

[@HowTowithDoc]

They are after grubs. Watch the grub video and you'll see the same thing.

[@cmaden]

I’m worried my dog is going all those chicken feed crumbles unless I make sure every last one is broken down. He eats paper, so I imagine chicken feed in the backyard will be a delicacy 😊

[@gymsreviews8155]

Your rite, a lot of information. Rock on Doc 😎👍

[@godfather1116]

I'll pick mine up this weekend - curbside pick up! Thanks Doc!

[@jackn.2611]

I just put down PGF complete the other day. How long should I wait to put down the chicken feed?

[@MattCampbelification]

doc, your yard is looking great man

[@jr1001jr]

Hey 👋Doc... Today I did some Topdressing/leveling & I planted some "Chainsaw Bermuda"🤣 before I threw down the Chicken Crumble. You'd be proud! Keep the good info coming & thanks for all that you do.👍😎👍

[@christophertaylor9826]

Great information.

[@richmonbaker4248]

Hey Doc would USGA Dakota Peat blend be a good leveling material? They sell that just down the road from where I live.

[@bweinstein3070]

YES! Im a golf course superintendent, this is essentially divot mix.

[@blzt3206]

Here in Alberta I have 10 inches of black soil underneath my lawn lol just depends on geography.

[@adamghazal9204]

Awesome video! Thanks Doc!

[@OmendsFavor]

Doc, are the pine looking trees you behind you, Arborvitae or Junipers? Could you please tell me type it is. Thank you for sharing all these tips with us.

[@jordangolson4508]

What spreader setting are you using? Like how many lbs/1000?

[@joshainsw]

I've seen lots of people asking, but never answered. What rate do you recommend putting the crumbles down at? 15lb/1000ft2? I've also read somewhere else to just open spreader to over 1/4-1/2 open.

[@dice12tx]

Why are you using PGF Balanced AND PGF Complete at the same time?

[@redlead3]

Do you recommend the same formula for cool season grasses?

[@Finalsuspect1468]

Do you have a square footage rate for the dirt booster? I have about 1200 feet of month old sod I'd like to add this to.

[@MrColinALewis]

I’m doing this when the rain stops.

[@cretene1]

great stuff btw

[@ReppinCTandATL]

Looks like the innova fertilizer

[@nickb2912]

I just got PGF Complete and you weren't kidding when you said the particles were small. I love the extra particle coverage. I plan on getting super juice when its available in the future and I'm wondering if I have leftovers in the bottle can I just store it? I'm thinking about doing a normal bottle mix

[@bross824]

What is your spreader setting for chicken feed?

[@Dinomitsios]

How do you not have burn spots from your 2 dogs urine. My backyard is shot from dog urine. I spend 500 a year constantly seeding

[@jimccc9467]

Just drop some top soil on the burn spot if you can’t immediately water the spot where the urine is. I’ve noticed only my female burns the lawn not the male, both German Shepard’s.

[@14NJGUY]

i've read if the urine is hot it will burn lawns in weak areas? urine should make the lawn darker in those spots since Urine is similar to Urea which is in some fertilizers. I've read that somewhere. I don't know your climate such as snow, heat etc.

[@natedoghill6304]

Maybe long but great info as always!

[@spencerbigum1309]

Spreader settings for the chicken feed? How big is your lawn? Wondering how much chicken feed to buy for my 15k sq ft lawn. Super helpful video on your process! Thank you so much 👍

[@kl3mm3r86]

I use coop poop. Just sick of chemical applications all the time. Already did pre-emergent and synthetic feed and weed killer pre-spring and throughout. Bout to hit the heat here. Can't use to much and can apply any time. Will update if anyone ask.

[@InDatParish]

You may have answered this before, but what type of hybrid Bermuda do you have?

[@waltvancourt5052]

Tifway 419, pretty sure

[@ubuntunewb]

Maybe I missed it in the video, but how many lbs/sqft do you recommend for the chicken feed?

[@hulkinbrent6376]

What spreader setting for the chicken feed ? Would it be kind of the same as the purely organic fertilizer brand i put down 7-10 on scotts ?

[@jr1001jr]

I almost max out the settings... I place my scotts broadcast edge deluxe on 14 & throw it down heavy. I have about 4.5k to 5k sq feet of lawn

[@willmackey5617]

Hey Doc. I have 3 year old lawn. I live in Austin TX and last week had an irrigation system installed FINALLY!! I'm looking at top dressing to give the lawn a boost to cover the bare patches from trenching. Will the dirt booster work just as good? My lawn is pretty small, 4,000 s/f.

[@honzasolar]

Why are captions disabled please?

[@conarybk]

Captions work great for me!

[@blackhouse7646]

Hi Doc, how much chicken Feed are you putting down per 1000 sq ft?

[@masterSpaceMonkey]

The chicken feed has a small salt content. I'm worried about salt building up over time, to a detrimental level. Doc, do you have any concerns over this?

[@mikeward452]

Doc- would fungicide treatments such as propiconazole have a negative impact on the good fungus?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Systemic fungicides can reduce good fungus for 3-4 weeks but not totally reduce it.

[@nirmaljitcheema6232]

We live in Australia(Brisbane ).It's Start to get in winter here in Queensland. How to get the wintergreen couch thick green lush and to get rid of weeds as well in this weather.

[@jba36420]

Doc, after opening my Super Juice, after a few months, the remaining Super Juice becomes watery and jell like. Is this “jell like” Super Juice still as potent, or does it lose its qualities?

[@donmckenzie5027]

Doc can I use 16-8-8 instead of 16-4-8? Will it work just as good?

[@cphorn15]

Why are you wanting to use such a high phosphorus ratio? New seed or something? Doc has mentioned a few times in other videos about using PGF Balanced (10-10-10) if you are wanting to fertilize new seed. Most "starter fertilizers" have a low nitrogen ratio so as not to stress/burn the new seed. Otherwise, if you're just amending the soil on a mature lawn, your 16-8-8 should be fine. If you just can't get 16-4-8, I'd go for a 16-0-8 or something similar and maybe evenly mix with a 16-8-8 of the same size/density so you can get a 16-4-8 after mixing.

[@spanky08001]

Doc - What is the application rate of Dirt Booster for zoysia lawns? I bought 2 bags and ready to see how it does on my new zoysia lawn.

[@pearlintheoyster]

Hi i bought andersons soil mastery. Is that the same as humichar. It looks like it has similar to ur product. I bought the anderson pgf complete via thru ur website so u can receive recommendation. 😊. Bought also the chicken crumble here at a tractor store

[@vjhrdez]

Doc can I spread the organic and still put down PGF complete as the organic is for the soil?

[@israeldelarosa7948]

I need a fresh batch of super juice, Doc. Please I’m running behind

[@matthewennis4868]

Doc, my yard consist of A LOT of fill dirt. It was trucked in when the house was built 3 years ago due to the lot was very low. I am having a horrible time getting a lawn established due to really no organic matter in my dirt. Any cost effective recommendations to get a lawn established in my scenario?

[@videosavant100]

When will any of these products be back in stock? PGF complete and Humichar are not available.

[@samrial8373]

Doc: I’ve read comments on Amazon which warn that chlorine from water hose water will kill the micro-organisms in the booster pack. Is this a legit concern?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Nope... not true. All we use is city tap water and no issues ever.

[@peterpugh2175]

We have deer, raccoons and possums. Will they feed on this chicken organic product?

[@Shanester66]

Doc, I dont see links in the lawn guide to the microbial packets?

[@drdriveone]

What setting for Scott’s broadcast

[@jaysonsaxon]

Doc, I just got my soil tests back. my CEC levels are 2.8. Would adding chicken feed help raise that? If so, how much should I use as a general rule?

[@ajoshtransport8747]

How often do you apply chicken crumbles? Humachar?

[@BelowAverageSwardMan]

Was that 10 pounds of Dirt Booster over 5000 square feet?

[@thecharliejamesshow2763]

How often would you put out the chicken feed?

[@jermur8053]

Is this done once a year or more?

[@DrB_CU]

As often as you want

[@jeremiahwilliams394]

Hi ,is super juice available in the RSA?

[@deaninvirginia]

$15 for 50 lbs, not $15 for 15 lbs as you said at the beginning of your video (1:50 or so in).

[@renezuurman3128]

👍🏾

[@mattv1415]

What is the lbs rate of chicken feed per 1,000 sq ft?

[@jr1001jr]

Just "THROW ER Down"!! I go heavy... you can't hurt it, it's natural organics

[@DrB_CU]

Rate doesn’t really matter, its not nutritious directly. You can put down 3lbs/1000 or 0.1lb, doesn’t matter.

[@ea7654]

What’s the difference from PFG complete and Balance

[@treflippa2]

Balanced is a quick release 10-10-10. PGF Complete is slow release 16-4-8 there also a 16-0-8 version.

[@DrB_CU]

One has phosphorus, and is coated urea (slow release) The other is fast-release fertilizer.

[@ea7654]

First to comment Doc

[@williamgarvin8159]

How often do you add the compost mix to your gardens?

[@SuperPussyFinger]

Does the chicken feed attract birds and rodents?

[@dmdm9198]

Wouldn’t this attract bugs like roaches, mice rats and everything in between?

[@HowTowithDoc]

No issues for almost 2 years. It works into the thatch within 2 days.

[@silvanabarria6774]

🙃😉🤫🤫🤫🤫

[@Daniel-ns8bk]

Can you add (just) chicken feed to your lawn as the organic fertilizer? Or, is that pointless without the microbial pack to have the chicken feed be broken down into the soil? Understanding the chicken feed will break down into the soil anyway, but is it the microbes that actually get the nutrients into the soil to be 100% effective (instead of, maybe, 50% or less with use of [ just ] chicken feed).

[@HowTowithDoc]

Sure... or just add the feed and the fungus packs.

[@cretene1]

you serious ive been using for years. no offence.only now young skywalker do you understand.

[@literallymyusername8291]

Won't the chicken feed attract rodents? I put some on today, guess I'll find out.

[@literallymyusername8291]

No rats came as far as I can tell!
