Lawn Fertilizer Information

[@timtweet8149]

Cannot wait to get started. Thanks for your service. From one veteran t o another. Keep up the great work.

[@Ronikins311]

So happy you ask for the fertilizer product to be made. I have run into the same problem at big box stores. I have huge unused hard clumped fertilizer bags in my shed. 18-20lbs sounds great for my tiny 1/4 acre. Ty Doc!

[@HowTowithDoc]

Agreed...

[@johnkaneiii9167]

Great video Doc! 👍

[@franchosis]

Hi Doc, Greetings from the sunny growing season of South Africa:) I have common Bermuda grass - how should I use chemical fertilizers with organic liquid fertilizers(Kelp & fish emulsion) on my lawn? I have put down a nitrogen rich fertilizer a week ago, when can I put an application of organic fertilizer? may I use them both at the same time? Also which is the best method for distributing the liquid fertilizer between a knap sack sprayer or a hose end sprayer that is calibrated?

[@rosesarered3904]

Great video!! Your channel has so much information for good looking lawns. I am so glad I came accross your videos. I have a terrible looking lawn but now I'm building my confidence to tackle it with your videos. Thank you!!!

[@myaiumba]

He said the product will be available on Amazon in a few weeks. He put this video up 4 days ago and the doc’s super juice is sitting in my office. Confused. Can’t wait till April to try it though.

[@HowTowithDoc]

The new "granular" will be out in a few weeks for those wanting a good quality granular.

[@chrisfink1]

I'm a fan of spoon feeding and keeping nitrogen inputs to a minimum but KBG Midnight which I have 15k square feet of (monostrand) thrives at 3 to 5 pounds per thousand annually. I've actually heard some places recommended 6. I have not noticed much difference between 6 and 3 though and I keep lowering my inputs to see how low I can go. Good thing with KBG midnight is it takes low inputs to maintain a dark color and it's a compact variety meaning if you let it go it wont get too tall. Less N just makes it grow slower and I just push it when I need it...but I'm not sure I can go as low as you recommend but I'll sure try. Awesome video.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Reduce your slow release to 3lbs per year and apply SJ every 2 weeks. If you need additional iron add some as well. Wait 4 hours after spraying then water lawn if you have irrigation. What ever has not been absorbed via foliar will now be at the roots. If nothing else... do a test strip or area.

[@Luvyatilyouactup]

This made it all clear for me. I was following a regimen that works but I wasn’t sure of the specifics. Doc, you’re my go-to channel for all things Bermuda!

[@serafinarecalcitrant3869]

SuperJuice. I am a believer. Even my neighbors are commenting on my yard.

[@atljc1]

Doc - Great video. I learned a lot that I didn’t know and agree with you on the fertilizer option you are trying to get produced. Are you planning any videos on the fertilization of plants? I just use the fertilizer recommended from Pike’s in the Spring and Fall.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Yes, we're actually testing Super Juice on plants as well. one TEASPOON in one gallon of water.

[@zekegrissom6855]

Hey Doc, I recently received 2 bags of 13-0-5 0.29% Prodiamine granular for free and was wondering how I could use that this spring in conjunction with SJ and the 0-0-7 0.37% Prodiamine I put down at 3lb/1000, 3 weeks ago?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Use only one with the PE in it.... You can use SJ anytime... it's very mild.

[@efremwright4747]

what yhe name of that new 18-0-4 fertilier your using

[@HowTowithDoc]

[@ashleyrichards4241]

New fan of the channel found it very interesting. What's the best way to deal with "individual" weeds in my lawn. Spot spray?

[@nwitten]

Very helpful video Doc. Keep up the great work!

[@cyngen05]

if my lawn is covered with crab grass now, do I need to put down a pre-emergent?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Use the Dimension spray link on the website. It has pre and post killing qualities.

[@cornelliacob1588]

Ernie, I would be surprised if you actually have crabgrass this time of year - it requires soil temps of 55+ to start growing. You’re more likely to have a winter weed (poa/bluegrass, etc) which at this point you may as well let the heat kill off vs fighting with. Pre-emergent is highly recommended but it’s for the summer weeds that are yet to come. Apply it now to control those.

[@waynehayes8237]

Great information as always.

[@mrhkp2000]

Great video. Great news with the fertilizer.

[@deals4hb]

Good info Doc. Thank you. One qq.. I have Lesco 24-0-11 left over from my previous buy. How and when to use ? Can I use along with SJ? Thank you

[@HowTowithDoc]

Apply at 1/2 the rate as the bag states, then use SJ.

[@deals4hb]

@@HowTowithDoc thank you..

[@viviangerard459]

love your videos quite knowledgable

[@danpuckett2617]

Doc I’ve been following you for a couple of years now and love all of your content! Any idea when the Innova will be available again? It shows unavailable on Amazon with no time line for being back in stock. Thanks!

[@HowTowithDoc]

Next week on the Innova.

[@littlefinkle7757]

Cool video!

[@williamhiller9378]

Hi Doc. Thanks for the very informative videos. Could you provide some clarification on the new small particle fertilizer you are working on assuming with The Andersons? One of the big benefits of super juice is that it has a 7-1-2 ratio which is supported and suggested by the experts. What is the benefit of changing the ratio to 18-0-2 in the new product especially when The Andersons 7-1-2 Innova Organic Fertilizer matches the super juice ratio? Thanks in advance.

[@stoweby]

Hey bubba, I just wanted to hop on here and say thank you for doing this. I am officially taking customers on April 1st for my lawn care business and your information over the last 9 months or so has been invaluable for my understanding of the industry and the appropriate way to do business.

[@johnfetter3252]

Great video Doc. My SuperJuice came from Amazon yesterday. I'm going to divide it into four applications (3.4 pounds each weighed on my scale) for my 20,000 Square foot lawn. Too cold here in the DFW Metroplex now, but will probably start in late March/Early April.

[@soilcreepsandgardengeeks71]

My first viewing of your work. Love it. Nicely done Doc.....you have a good deep knowledge thanks for sharing, and I appreciate the straight forward delivery as well. Definitely dig it. You echo my exact sentiments on what you are looking for in a granular fertilizer. I agree on every count and have also been a bit frustrated or perplexed by not being able to find a decent, not too high N count NON-weed and feed when going to a box store. There is a product out there that contains a modest N count on most of there product as well as humates and iron since day one before the current trends, and that’s Johnathan Green products. They have been doing it right for a long time now...a bit pricey but hey....Anyway thanks again, you got another subscriber.

[@barbre105]

Doc I want super juice already blended into liquid form. Too much trouble to do this super juice conversion into liquid when their is so much else to do in the yard. Save us some time and effort, make liquid super juice for us please.

[@HowTowithDoc]

It's as simple as making Kool-Aid... water + dry super juice, done. 30 seconds. Nothing else. The dry is the only stable product that will last all year on the shelf and contains everything.

[@barbre105]

@@HowTowithDoc What all about the straining, cheese cloth and what ever else there was.

[@HowTowithDoc]

After you mix, you run through a strainer. But you do this with anything you spray. I do it even with pre-mixed products as they settle. Put in warm water, stir, strain, done. You can also add any other spray treatments which is handy. Pesticide, fungicide, pre-emergent, etc, etc.

[@williamhiller9378]

Thanks Doc. Great video. FYI, the green bottles are back at $9 on Amazon but on "back order"

[@garyredden1900]

Good video Doc.Thanks for going into detail for using liquid & granular fertilizer. I'm chomping at the bits here in N. Texas to get my lawn Spring feedings started. Our low's are dropping into the upper 20's for a few days next week. Maybe by mid to late March I can start with some small feedings. (I'm not sharing your secret, the others will just have to watch the entire video).

[@jayrus1574]

Thanks Doc. Got a question that hopefully you or someone can help with. You keep talking about using organic fertilizer and then hitting it with super juice. Is the big box weed and feed fertilizer like Scott’s ok to use with super juice? Sorry if this is a dumb question. This is the first year of using your program and don’t want to do any damage to my lawn

[@HowTowithDoc]

If it's a slow release fert then yes, using the SJ is fine with it.

[@MrRockBluff]

Great video. Most of it was over my head but I like to learn about this stuff as I'm just now getting into taking better care of my lawn. I do have a question. I'm thinking about putting down Milorganite early spring (mid to late March) and I see on a 36lbs bag it says it covers 2500sqft. But, just below that it says FL 6,000 sqft. Does this mean because I live in Florida I can stretch it out to 6,000 sqft? We have a 90,000 sqft lawn so if we went with 2500 sqft option it would take many more bags. Thanks again!

[@HowTowithDoc]

It's a local restriction more than likely due to the high phosphorus. Each state can have different laws and different times allowed.

[@TimothyGreve]

Will you be making a video that covers the liquid pre emergent? Dimension?

[@ATO.21]

Yes, yes

[@johndycus7800]

Use Prodiamine instead of Dimension. Prodiamine is much more effective, lasts longer and is cheaper compared to Dimension

[@HowTowithDoc]

Prodiammine is used... it's the Barricade DG granules. (The only granular that really covers well.) It is done early. Then a second round of Dimension is sprayed 4 weeks later because of its pre and post attributes.

[@dgoode2846]

Thank you, Doc

[@Man-in-Mason]

Great video Doc! Looks like innova is out of stock...? Or is it really $126.99?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Out of stock... back in stock next week.

[@justinjudkins3]

Thanks for the info, Doc! Great to have a better understanding about spoon feeding. Will this new fertilizer be something that will replace the innova organic you use?

[@HowTowithDoc]

The innova will mainly be used during the summer months. This will be a great last feeding product come early sept.

[@ScottDoucet]

Thanks for the info Doc! Love watching this channel. Got my first bermuda lawn over in Houston Tx.. Moved here from Lafayette, La and always had st augustine. Yard is not thick at all and am wanting to get it thick thick! My neighbor does have some st augustine that's starting to invade ... Well it's invaded one area pretty bad. Any ideas on a treatment to kill it and not the bermuda without having to hand pull it?

[@cornelliacob1588]

Scott Doucet one way to kill off st Augustine is to fertilize your Bermuda on the high end of the spectrum. St Augustine can’t handle all that. Plus, once your Bermuda takes off it’ll be the St Aug who’ll have to worry about being invaded. 😝

[@JsCrazyCutzLLC]

Congrats on 40k subs

[@pappagiorgio1675]

Great video. Quick question that is somewhat related, I use Milo for all of my fert applications during the growing season. But would it be best to apply a starter fertilizer the first app on Spring and a 2nd app to continue with Milo?? Or go with say 1lb 1k/sqft of Milo or Ringer? I have 3800 sq/ft of Bermuda tif419. Thanks!

[@HowTowithDoc]

Apply the Milo as normal and apply SJ when you have the "windows" open up early in the spring. No need for "starter" on established Bermuda.

[@pappagiorgio1675]

@@HowTowithDoc thanks for that. Should i just apply the milo/ringer in the fall rather than a winterizer? Thanks again. I've been stuck on this for a while.

[@HowTowithDoc]

You just don't want too much nitrogen in the LATE fall. Anything with organic material is better used in the warmer months as well.

Thanks for the "When Not to apply Organic" tip. Makes sense to maximize efficiency as this yard hobby gets expensive.

[@raquelmontanez6959]

I live in the far west part of Texas in the Permian Basin. It’s pretty much desert over here. How often would you recommend I water my Bermuda lawn? I have always watered daily. Is that too much?

[@HowTowithDoc]

1" per week is the rule of thumb. Most should not water daily.

[@mynameisneb]

I've heard, don't know if it's true, but armadillos don't like Milorganite? I was getting ready to scalp soon, but another week of freeze temps here in GA 😕

I already did. Getting down to 32 at my residence. I think I’ll be ok.

[@chrisvanderwielen1530]

I'm getting sick of this MPD weather GA is having... although, I guess I should be used to it by now. heh The worst part is the crappy forecasting, it's almost impossible to plan when to lay lawn treatments.

[@dak2]

how do i unplug my sprayer. it plugged up after a partial use of super juice. got the green one from amazon. help.

[@viviangerard459]

so what would I use in abbotsford bc to green up my lawn after snows gone

[@cornelliacob1588]

Vivian Gerard Doc’s channel and the information in it are geared towards Bermudagrass (warm weather grass popular in the south). You most likely have a cool-season grass. Either way, greening up grass is done with new growth .. so once snow melts feed it well, it’ll be hungry coming out of dormancy. And mow the yellowness off :)

[@briano9879]

Great video. I'm assuming you're going to The Anderson's again for this new product and my question is why are you afraid to say who's doing the packaging. For example, it's as clear as day on Amazon that The Anderson's packages your Super Juice but, to my knowledge, you never say it. Seems like the name recognition would help with sales. At first it came across as something sneaky but now I'm thinking that it might be a legal thing. For the record, I'm pleased to hear that you are not a Nitrogen Hawk like a lot of folks on the Tube.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Just not into promoting "companies". Never have and never will.

[@paddybarnes7776]

Hey Doc, what’s the best product / application to take a thinning lawn to a thick, healthy lawn. It’s been on the BG calendar since last Spring btw and God bless the Super Juice! Got my bag ready to go this Spring.

Barb's was horrible and we pushed it with super juice really hard last year and transplanted runners. 100s and 100s of them. Now her lawn looks amazing.
