Liquid Fertilizer Plan - Save TIME and $$$

You're lawn is looking reel good, Brandon! Great video. 👍

[@TurfCulture]

Thanks I REELY appreciate it!

Forty two year State certified pest control operator / owner here, great video. That Umaxx is a great product being slow release. Applicators must realize that urea works best during intense sun season, such as summer. That ammonical nitrogen (peters) works best when it's cold because it doesn't need the sun for the blades to metabolize it. Applicators also need to understand if you're going to apply high concentrations of Nitrogen your pushing the blades for growth, so in certain seasons you will be stressing the lawn, that stress can cause fungus issues, especially in the south where we have intense sun, heat and humidity. Also, understand if you're applying nitrogen, you need to increase the water on the lawn. You are spot on with the statement when applying herbicides to add a little nitrogen or even a little potash to help the blade take in the herbicide. I would refrain from doing nitrogen when applying a fungicide because nitrogen feeds fungus, so do not help it. My only other advice to all is always wear tall rubber boots, slong sleeve shirts, pants and gloves ( Nitrile) when applying any chemical, especially pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and Iron. These products will make its way to tour organs, especially your liver. Your lawn looks sexy great job.

[@TurfCulture]

I do like UMAXX but I also like to be able to control my rates and also control when it gets applied, I've been applying quick release AMS at .10lb N at a time instead of controlled release urea.

[@theeapco]

The lawn is looking great! Good information right here.

Your lawn is looking pristine! I love liquid fertilizers!

[@TurfCulture]

It’s all CGI.. it’s not even my lawn.

[@jfarm_1311]

If you have the time and dedication, liquids can be awesome. Gonna supplement some with them this year

[@TurfCulture]

I like to add some liquids in with other applications, saves me from having to do so many granular apps.

[@chrisfriend8573]

So if I have 2acre of grass how much would I need

[@PrincessCutLawnCare]

Cool products dude, I’m gonna pick up some of that triple 20

Peter’s is where it’s at for spraying fert

[@Striperman]

Great job Brandon on breaking it down. I originally wanted that sprayer instead of a backpack but for 1600 sq ft thought it wasn't worth it even though it's a great sprayer. My plan was a 100% liquid fertilizer program but after the first month of not seeing the results I wanted went with left over Carbon X to add some granular fert to the program. Will still keep the liquids for soil amendments and the liquid ferts as well now that the lawn bounced back but will also apply the granular to here and there as alternative feeding. Your lawn is looking great

[@TurfCulture]

Thanks Keith! Yes the 1gallon jugs aren’t great for all liquid programs, water soluble are great for this.

[@theCastleberry]

There’s the Chapin! Glad to see that thing in use.

[@TurfCulture]

Not so much a unicorn, more of a bull.

[@hawkie333]

[@ROLLIN-DUB]

Have you ever applied DEF to your lawn (I hope not)? How effective is baby shampoo?

[@TurfCulture]

No I have not, but you could apply DEF to your lawn if you wanted to.. it's just liquid urea. Baby shampoo or dawn have similar effects as a wetting agent to reduce surface tension in hydrophobic soils.

[@ROLLIN-DUB]

@@TurfCulture only thing with DEF is that it kills honey bees (maybe good for lawn, but bad for honey bees pollenating and forging)

[@TurfCulture]

This one is mine.

[@thomasbimrose58]

What size spray tips are you using and at what psi? I would really appreciate the info. I have built a 10 gallon sprayer and I was curious about your spray tips. Also what height and width are your tips at. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

[@TurfCulture]

I use TeeJet AI nozzles and you'll want the nozzles positioned at 20" from the ground and spaced 20" apart.

[@UrbanDadLife2024]

love that sprayer... i'm putting a boom together for mine..how far apart are your nozzles? another great video.....

[@TurfCulture]

24” on the boom nozzles. Thanks for watching!

[@skrame01]

Does liquid fertilizer need to absorb into the soil and get taken up by the roots or is it absorbed directly into the blades?

[@TurfCulture]

Both, the advantage is that the nitrogen is absorbed through the leaf blades and whatever gets washed off is soil soluble.

[@lannisbreaux1866]

Great video. I just bought a Chapin, like yours. How did you make the boom wand? It really looks good. Unable to match threads for Chapin’s 2 nozzle boom wand

When calculating umaxx and peters together.... are you just calculating the N rate combined or do you adjust for adding more micros at certain times.

[@TurfCulture]

N rate combined

How much do I need to Peter 20-20-20, and UMAXX to use for 4k lawn

[@anthonyb1426]

Great video. Any recommendations for doing 2-3 acres using a 3pt boom sprayer? There’s no way I’m going to be able to achieve your lawn quality but just hoping to increase growth for a one-year-old lawn while preventing weeds.

[@TurfCulture]

How big is the tank attached to said boom sprayer? You can realize some great returns by using some urea or ams tank mixed with a herbicide as long as you have enough carrier volume.

[@anthonyb1426]

@@TurfCulture 40 Gallon with a 9ft boom. Just curious if you recommend a certain line of products because I am having a hard time finding anything online with some decent reviews. The only thing I can find that covers a large area with enough reviews is called Hay Maker that is sold at tractor supply 18-3-4.

[@familybarton]

Are you still using the boom sprayer, I binged your content tonight, but it was kind of out of order. Seemed though that in more recent videos I was seeing the backpack sprayer

[@TurfCulture]

I still have it but don’t use it as much as my backpack.

[@marcusush517]

Great video my friend . How much liquid N per K could you add at once without causing burn ? ive spoon fed with 46-0-0 Urea in the past at .25 per k . would .50 of N be too much to apply ?

[@TurfCulture]

No I think that should be fine. Just make sure you water it in.

[@chrisyoung8062]

do you have a video showing how you modified your Chapin, adding the boom?

[@TurfCulture]

I don't, I built that sprayer a few years ago and sold it to a friend.

[@chrisyoung8062]

@@TurfCulture What are you using now? I'm thinking about getting that sprayer and just using the single nozzle. The steady nozzle height and larger tank seem like good enough reasons to switch from a backpack sprayer.

[@chrisyoung8062]

@@TurfCulture So I ended up getting the Chapin and modifying it with a two nozzle (Teejet capable) boom. It seems perfect for my 11,300 ft2 lawn. Three nozzles would be too much on this sprayer unless you changed out the pump for something with higher volume and then you would need a different battery setup. You would also need a different boom mounting system as there is too much flex when using the plastic mount that comes with the sprayer for a boom long enough to accommodate three nozzles.

[@aquienpuedainteresar4188]

Thats great info on price comparison liquid vs granular. Do you have to apply more often if you go all liquid?

[@TurfCulture]

Depends on how much N you apply with those applications.

Two things i forget to ask bud : 1- what type of nozzle do you prefer for these liquid application (corse droplet vs mist droplet) ? 2- do you let the spray sit on the grass blade for as long as possible or do you water in after your application ?

[@TurfCulture]

For liquid fertilizer I like to use an AI nozzle with a coarse droplet. You can definitely water it in after a few hours.

[@michaelnguyen9087]

How did you get 2 arms on your Chapin sprayer?

Thank you for your reply it is greatly appreciated! Do you know what number your teejet nozzles are? For instance a 11004 or a 8003 or so on I was wanting to know the angle and gpm of the tip which is give by the number on the tip. Thank you for your content and information.

[@TurfCulture]

[@alokgondhalekar5757]

Umaxx comes for about $70+ here in midwest. Would like to know where you got it for $3x . Thanks for the informative video. Already Subscribed to the channel :)

[@TurfCulture]

Is that price from an online source with shipping? Advanced Turf Solutions had it for $33 per bag earlier this year. With the way fertilizer prices are going up that may change.

[@pbc1337]

Most of the debates i've seen on tlf was around the "liquid" potassium side of the equation. Seems like potassium nitrate is theoretically a good option for liquid application but not realistic in bulk quantities unless you want homeland security at your doorstep. SoP wasn't really doable via spraying from what i read. In your case you seem to go around that issue by mixing that 3x20 fert with your main nitrogen source ?

[@TurfCulture]

100% and if I do apply SOP on its own, granular.

[@ChevyGuy70]

Can you show us the build on the sprayer? Im sure you have one. I just cant find it 😂

Great video. Thanks. I am looking at the label of peters 20-20-20. Can you tell me how I can calculate how many lbs of product I need to dissolve in my backpack sprayer to get 1 lb of N on the ground?

[@TurfCulture]

I wouldn’t recommend that you apply 1lb of 20-20-20 with a backpack sprayer. You would need a lot of carrier volume to dilute that. Instead try doing .25 or .20lbs of N.. one pound of product will give you the .20lbs of N.

[@kennydanger7762]

Hey man, trying to bump along my 6 no old KBG and fill it in. When do you start apps in spring, and how many do you do? You and I have have very similar climates

I would make a goal of 6# of Nitrogen for the first season grow in. Split those up .5# each application.
