Milorganite Fertilizer 1000 POUND Application Bermuda Grass Renovation

[@jimdavidson5208]

You said it, that 46-0-0 and Bermuda is a match made in heaven.

[@GlynRobinson]

jim davidson amen to that! Keep the blades sharp for sure! 😂😂

[@psbeaman]

This is the fun part of the business. I wish I had more “projects” like this.

[@MapMakingNL]

You are exactly doing the projects with the same steps I’m dreaming about when driving about and seeing my own business property!

[@dwhitmire3005]

God bless you. Thank you for your constant education. You are a true example of love thy neighbor. With your academy education, I cant wait to see my yard pop next year :)

[@chrisa8112]

Thanks Pete thats 2 warm season projects for us creepy grass lawn guys. Can't wait too see where this goes!!

[@kyledemmer1794]

Love to see that you’re always prepared, even during work on an empty sports field.

[@thomashudson7780]

milorganite will bring any lawn back to life,,a friend of mines is living proof,,great video,,load it up,,,

[@Methodical2]

I like that 46-0-0. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on ths project. especially with the help of the irrigation system. A fun project. Will be following this. Man that is a sweet machine.

[@GlynRobinson]

Methodical2 I use it on my Bermuda too. Keep blades sharp. Lol 😂

[@captmurf8357]

What a project. Fast fwd 1 month pls!

[@8michael7]

Don’t wait a month to show us. Give us a lil update every time you go to that property. We like seeing progress. Thanks

[@deanhaught5307]

Great videos Pete !

[@ColonelK0rn1]

I can't help but to grin when you were talking about the Ventrac. It's a cool machine, very versatile. I wish you would have taken an aerial shot of you spraying the "double-dark" application of GCF products. I've done some heavy apps on mine and my grass was still dark 3 days later. I credit all of the NEX-T products for the success that I had when I had a 60% winter kill of my bermuda renovation last year.

[@GCITurf]

ColonelK0rn sweet. What’s a double dark application? Is that code for something?

[@ColonelK0rn1]

No, it was actually a phrase that Allyn Hane coined for doing a heavy application of Humic 12 on his lawn, which he thought he originated, but he actually heard it from Jake The Lawn Kid years prior. In May, my heavy app was: AIR-8 - 6 oz/M, Humic 12 - 12 oz/M, RGS - 6 oz/M, GreenePunch - 16 oz/M and FEature (for iron) at 2oz/M. My yard was dark from the humic, then held beautiful green for a month. I've been doing bi-weekly AIR-8, Humic 12 and RGS applications, but not at that heavy rate. That was just to kick the green-up into overdrive. It worked like a charm. I'll send you some pictures via email.

[@springguntunes]

Watching for these bermudagrass turf fields. I have a chance to get a sports field with three softball fields on it. That would take my business to the next level. Thanks for sharing Pete.

[@stephenfox3236]

Did you ever take on the work? How are you doing?

[@JM-zz5mh]

Awesome to see what happens when done right. Looking forward to ssi g updates on impact of these applications.

[@888HUSKERS]

Oh man the pun ... "a butt load of Milorganite" this pun was brought to you by the people of Milwaukee, WI and Pete from GCI turf. Love this content keep it up! I can't wait to see how the rehab goes, I just went and bought my first 2 bags of Milorganite today and put it down after manually thatching and having my 6 year old help me cleanup the thatch. Too bad the fescue didn't work out because I love good tall fescue or kentucky bluegrass.

[@Brian1.]

This video is awesome. Thanks for blessing us with your knowledge Pete. Can't wait for the follow up video

[@jeffersononetwo]

Can’t wait to see the Bermuda progress!

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Well done man. I am proud to say I use the same aerator on my Jacobsen 4x4 with dump bed. I need one of those riding spreaders though. Very cool!

[@sylc6688]

That Ventrac tractor looks like a very good investment ;)

[@tommix2181]

Nice too learn from the master

[@chrisv390]

Can’t wait to see this in a month. That Bermuda is going to go hog wild!

[@jayfirebaugh]

Wow! Pete! You are the man!

[@Burnster59]

Oh man, your analogy of the sprinkler head vs the aerovator just cracked me up. lmbo

[@GCITurf]

Superman!!!

[@reelmowingromokeepingitree2191]

got Bermuda grass lawn myself. can't wait for an update

[@joshuacampbell5673]

I love watching the aera vator in slow motion!

[@jdrobbi]

Dude! That's quite project! Man, I love that aerovator! Look forward to seeing the results of all that 'goodness'. Take care, brother

[@bailercharles]

Great video as always !

[@danielopyd9031]

GCI :lovin your new toys I need one of them spreaders I have a average size home 2 lots but I’ll admit that would be so much more fun fertilizing if I had me a machine like that ..... I’ll admit it I’m alittle jealous lol god bless keep making kool vids

[@milanjurich1526]

Got to love that equipment!

[@jrrn96]

Gonna be interesting to see how the dominant Bermuda takes off with all that your throwing at it. I'd like a video to see that soil come back in a week, see the paul bunyon screwdriver test before and after air8, great video tho bringing a soccer back to life!

[@jakegump]

Thanks for the Bermuda video man. If you get a moment can you link the product used for killing the fescue?

[@Doober80]

Slinging these videos out like a BOSS! I hope you have a great week, PETE. The heat finally broke over here; only supposed to be 95ish for the next week or so!

[@GCITurf]

nice getting better i see....bro!!! I have like 6-7 vids already filmed and edited just waiting to post!! whoop whoop

[@Doober80]

GCI Turf Services , yessir, that relief from the heat is needed. My lawn is extra crispy. Awesome on the vids you have lined up! Cannot wait.

[@GCITurf]

Grass seed Seeding Equipment Manifold build Setting up sprinklers Man! I been rolling bro!!

[@Doober80]

GCI Turf Services right on bro! I have an idea to try and help you get more out of these videos. I will shoot you an email sometime this week with some ideas.

[@GCITurf]

send it on I am up for suggestions friend

[@timewithjo248]

Thank you so much for this video!!

[@jbynum67]

I can't wait for this one!

[@GlynRobinson]

What is micro green? All i have is Bermuda. Love it! Great video!

[@onetuliptree]

This project is a good one! Sorta doing same on 100 sqft weed patch with a yard fork, got about 10 ft done in an hour, the aerovator would take 2 seconds to do it all. Too bad no room in my garage for aerovator, it's a cool machine.

[@Brandenton1]

Cant wait to see the follow up to this video, to see difference.

[@gioarteaga3984]

Dang brother I wanted to see it get done, good video

[@9thGenAccord]

Yea! Bermuda rocks!!!!!

[@jhi1947]

Bermuda sucks....It is a weed!

[@9thGenAccord]

Sounds like you smoke da weed bro!

[@TheBostonmd]

love this guy

[@claytonpegram6035]

Thanks again Pete for another cool video.I may not watch the equipment video if do I'll go out and buy something.(I'll be watching)

[@GCITurf]

ha ha

[@emmanuellopez59]

Lots of fun!!

[@jamesmay4547]

thanks, man. now I have hope

[@Grassology-vs1hn]

Nice work! I love when you bring turf back to a thriving stage I can see this is your passion. Where are you getting Milo from ? No store in my area in PA has Milo. I was on vacation in VA last week and I stopped at a Home-depot store and they only had 8 bags.

[@Grassology-vs1hn]

Nice work! I love when you bring turf back to a thriving stage I can see this is your passion. Where are you getting Milo from ? No store in my area in PA has Milo. I was on vacation in VA last week and I stopped at a Home-depot store and they only had 8 bags.How Do I mix urea in my 4 gallon sprayer?

[@RCVOODOO]

Lotta stuff involved in bringing back a field that size... what drone do u use for youre aerial shots. It has really good video quality

[@GCITurf]

DJI Phantom 4 PRO

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

Is it green yet

[@joehuff1110]

I myself would've used a triple 10 or 12. But I like Milo

[@watcher9132]

I would like to hear your recommendation for getting rid of creeping Charlie or ground ivy. It's the only thing in my turf that I haven't been able to control. Love your videos Pete. God bless. Thanks.

[@TheLawnStripes]

Gene New dismiss should do it.

[@BroMandudeKnar]

Q4 plus. The creeping charlie is the hardest weed ive found so far to get rid of. The Q4 plus helped. Isnt cheap tho. 200 for a gal!!

[@kevinkohrman1367]

I would use Primo on it if you want to get it to spread. Make it grow horizontal instead of vertical..

[@GCITurf]

yep but is not in their budget

[@darrenharris2978]

Hey bro how would u push tall fescue get that growth going on none established yard

[@mre3161]

Great video Pete. Wow , 1,000 lbs of milo & 150 lbs of 46-0-0 on 50,000 sqft. That was 2.69 lbs of N per 1,000 sqft. Why not just apply Screaming Green 16-2-3?

[@Mikebike68]

Mr Efficiency because of the iron content? Because it’s an organic fertilizer vs a synthetic Absorbs differently

[@jeffborkowski]

Love watching you troubleshoot/work through projects like this. Out of curiousity, as a self professed Milo newbie, why the choice of Milo for a project this scale vs something you know well?

[@benharrison1069]

That's a "butt load of Milorganite!" Just imagine putting that down on that soccer field by hand with a manual spreader. :-O Pete, I may not own a lawn care company or have a huge yard that could "justify" having the fancier equipment to take care of the yard, but it never hurts to dream. :-) Nice video, Pete. Looking for the follow up video(s).

[@GCITurf]

yes sir

[@Veedub98]

I do my 1 acre lawn with a hand spreader....2 years later half the yard has started LOL!!!! I need to buy a real spreader.

[@danielcouturier6037]

for a normal cool season lawn do you recommend aerating after applying fert & over-seed in the fall? or doing it before? maybe you talk about it in your cool season academy program - which I'm thinking I'm going to join

[@GCITurf]

this order - 1 - fert 2 - plug 3 - seed

[@andrewnestor29]

No wonder there has been a Milorganite shortage!

[@BirdDog.]

Why not just come back 30 days later with the ammonium sulfate vs milo? Seems a lot cheaper. And why not do a round of msm or 3way over the tribute? Might save some $

[@gardnmi]

If you put studs in the tires of your spreader you would have a two in one almost.

[@grassthief1280]

Hi pete i just put some IRONITE 1.0.1. DOWN PLUS SOME WEED KILLER MY QUESTION TO YOU IS CAN I PUT DOWN MILO NOW TO MY FESCUE PLEASE RESPOND

[@triumphovertragedy7860]

Ahhhhh you can do the same thing with fescue... psssf!! From Michigan btw

[@mteske1]

Subbed!

[@JM-yx1lm]

Hey Pete, im not sure if you are aware of this but there are sponsored ads just above the title of this video and they are trying to sell your viewers 3 bags of milo for $250 !!! Thats crazy and outright robbery! I know its not your choice of ads but just hope your viewers know that 15 bucks a bag at Lowes or tractor supply.

[@CoachKepler]

Updates on this lawn right now?

[@piedmontgardening8854]

With how much invasive bermuda that I have in my yard, and it keeps spreading, Im seriously considering letting it take over.

[@jayfirebaugh]

Pete = just so you know, we can't get Milorganite in Richmond, VA. I was lucky enough to get some about 2 months ago but zip, zero, nada since then. I just got back from Home Depot and they said 0 in whole area. So... Scotts for me!

[@MTPatriot1787]

Jay Firebaugh Order it on Amazon. Get it delivered for free.

[@jesseh3806]

Why would someone plug fescue?

[@TrueLee]

Who does have access to an areovator? I have been searching and I cannot find anyone even offering this as a service.

[@ronhart4166]

I bet you could have thatched those plugs right out of the ground after the break up !! Are you going to be cutting the field also. I would be curious about your cutting height in your area. I can not seem to get Bermuda any shorter then 3". The sun seems to burn the grass any shorter :( Florida)

[@GCITurf]

we do not mow it

[@eddtello]

Do you like kentucky blue grass?

[@GCITurf]

Never had the chance to grow it but thats gonna change soon

[@stevewilley1614]

You left out something important...is that common Bermuda or hybrid improved Bermuda?

[@wayneessar7489]

Steve Willey Common.

[@GCITurf]

common

[@jakegump]

He mentioned it was common, you must’ve missed it. Around 1:45 secs check it out

[@stevewilley1614]

Jake Gump I told Pete that was my bad. I didn 't understand cultivating common over hybrid.

[@jimcross1061]

Pete can you please tell me where you get that kind of milo I got the regular stuff from home depot that Allyn hane uses. But I’ve never seen what you got

[@dawnb2224]

How do you get rid of Bermuda?

[@GCITurf]

pylex or round up

[@glenjamindle]

Are you doing anything to get rid of the fescue or will the bermuda choke it out?

[@Doober80]

I believe he said he was going to put some Tribute Total on it. The bermuda will smother it with its lateral growth and cutting it short will eventually take care of most of it.

[@ryeguy01]

Tribute Total will wipe out the fescue.

[@mikewoodall7009]

Dang bud I just joined today and your sprayer nozzle is out of stock. Getting a late start I know.

[@stevewilley1614]

And second question...reel or rotary mower?

[@stevewilley1614]

koomo801 Bermuda does so much better even just with a pull behind hand me down one . Spreads faster and balls will roll a lot better .

[@GCITurf]

I have no clue what they mow it with

[@JB-wu8zl]

If you could only use one fertilizer, would you use Milorganite, GreenePunch(by NEXT), or RGS(also by NEXT)?

[@GCITurf]

RGS is not fertilizer. It would depend if you were set up to spray or not. If so use the 18-0-1 if not use the milo

[@JB-wu8zl]

Thank you.

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

Where the update video

[@stevewilley1614]

Sorry Pete....listened to video again and you cleary stated it was common bermuda. My bad!

[@GCITurf]

No worries bro

[@arnulfosolis2102]

🚜🚜🚜🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@hairstonpropertymanagement2937]

Hey Pete, what is that piece of equipment that you're using to spread the milo and the one you're spraying with?

[@douglaslodema6906]

Permagreen sprayer spreader great machine

[@hairstonpropertymanagement2937]

So its the same machine?

[@GCITurf]

yep permagreen

[@emmanuellopez59]

“Don’t do this to your fescue” Listen to Pete!

[@GCITurf]

yeah PLEASE don't!!1 LOL

[@0Myles0]

#GetYourSoccerFieldRight Just in case you gotta feign an injury and roll around on the lawn a while.

[@imokyoureok9201]

I can’t find milo anywhere.

[@MTPatriot1787]

Arock Hobama Amazon w/ free shipping.

[@funkmastamatt]

No wonder there's a milorganite shortage!

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

Man that’s a lot of 💩🤣 your just having a ball with that new tractor. Are you gonna put a PGR on the field?👍🏻

[@GCITurf]

no sir was not in their budget

[@coreyfitzpatrick7397]

👍

[@Burnster59]

You're right. It's a big mess. Cant wait to see the results. Can you expand your business to Michigan so I can work for you? lol

[@daflea66]

Milo sold out in area. I'm literally up sh**'s creek! lol

[@captmurf8357]

Michael Amurgis Menards and farm and fleet have it by me. I have always bought what I need for the season as soon as it comes in late winter. Also, if you live near a big city, they usually have it cause the don't feet concrete jungles!!

[@daflea66]

Capt Murf yeah, I just got more requests this year than ever so I just flat ran out!

[@captmurf8357]

Michael Amurgis that's an amazing problem

[@daflea66]

Capt Murf you're right there are definitely worse problems lol

[@mnpatrick]

He said butt load of milorganite. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@GCITurf]

yeah LOL was waiting on someone to catch that Ha Ha

[@mikerailey1111]

Don't plant fescue

[@allthingshigh]

Someone has some money to burn! That Tribute Total is like $400 for 6 oz wtf? I was going to throw some down on my yard till I looked up buying some holy crizap

[@noahjohnson2406]

allthingshigh yeah same here. But not at $400 for 6oz

[@schaeferlawncareandpropert9625]

1000 lbs of milorganite....no wonder there's a shortage. haha

[@thew1neguy]

Don't do this...my gosh... Don't do this.

[@AncientHippie]

You can all my garbage Bermuda weed

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

1st lol

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

The Grass looks horrible lol

[@jimdavidson5208]

Still waiting for someone to make a 10-10-10 "balanced" fertilizer with all the macro's and micro's in it. Tired of all these so called fertilizers that only have say two ingredients. Your lawn is missing out on a lot of other nutrients.
