Glad I came across this!! Guy I know uses chicken waste in his garden and it is unbelievable. Just ordered a bag I will get two applications out of it.caant wait to see what it does for the lawn. Thank you brother!

Awesome man. Let me know what kind of results you get!

[@richharris4134]

5 days in and In a heatwave in NJ greening up nicely Day 11 lawn looks great Especially after 6 days of 90 degree heat

[@jeremyeickhoff42]

Nice video as always! Seed world has 50# for $33. Shipping is a little spendy but even then 100 pounds broke down to around $26 for 25 pounds.

[@LAWNLIFE]

Thanks Jeremy. Sounds like that's the way to go for sure! That's what I'd do. Good find

[@kevinleftridge8241]

Def & earthworks fert! Got it! My lawn is 6000 sq ft +, I have a 40 gallon pull behind sprayer 1 galllon of def should do the trick, I prefer my fert a little weaker for dual applications 2 passes , 1 horizontal then 1 vertical application for complete coverage.

[@richharris4134]

Just put down their liquid version yesterday .Excited to see the results

[@LAWNLIFE]

Let me know what you get for results!

[@monkeyslawncareandgardenin473]

It’s a lot like Clarus fertilizer. If you’re able to get it in your area it’s much cheaper. The Whole Shebang is a great summer fertilizer, and Screaming 8 is great for spring and fall

[@evanrusso1317]

The people yelling sellout and that this cost too much obviously have never bought a professional product in their life. If you think this is expensive, you should see some of the prices golf courses pay for liquid ferts. This is pretty affordable considering it's a professional product and organic.

[@LAWNLIFE]

This.

[@theunkownmr.562]

Ofcourse a golf course is going to spend a ton of money on fert. However, I want to see the cost breakdown of what they pay per 1lb of N or what a gold course pays per lb of this same stuff. I'm going to guess it's less considering that they buy in bulk. Non the less, this stuff is pricey, and people are always trying to get the most for less.

[@dbproductreviews6319]

Sounds solid! I always like skipping fertilizers in the summer months and use bio stimulants with rounds of Humic, Dethatch, and RGS to focus on overall soil health and products that retain moisture and promote deep, healthy roots. I add liquids and granulars in the Spring and Fall months here in Michigan.

[@LAWNLIFE]

[@ImagingPro]

5-10 lbs per 1000 is pretty expensive for a 7600 sq ft lawn since 25 lbs costs $43

[@LAWNLIFE]

Definitely not the cheapest. But for an organic based, professional grade product I think it's fairly priced to be honest.

[@Pete.across.the.street]

Bigger lawns will always be more expensive

[@LegendaryLawnCare89]

Not that bad some liquid fertilizers are crazy expensive and organics are usually more expensive than synthetics. Worth the extra money imo for the improvement in soil health.

[@doncline6372]

Like Mikey use to say, “try it, you’ll like it!” (for you younger guys Mikey was on Life cereal commercials) 😂

[@PhantomWorks01]

Happy Father’s Day, Jesse! Was waiting for you to compare their taste after mixing in water. 😂 Question: can’t decide between buying a broadcast or drop spreader. I know they spread differently but what’s the difference in using one over the other? I’m leaning toward drop for even coverage but what would you recommend?

[@LAWNLIFE]

Happy Father's day brother! Get a broadcast. Drop spreader is great for seeding a broadcast will be so much faster and you can get very good coverage. The hardest thing about the broadcast spreaders is the edges though. I feel like you could miss areas easily with the drop spreader unless you're gonna be on a very low rate and go over the lawn multiple times in different directions

[@dbproductreviews6319]

I like referring back to some of your older videos from time to time. Knowledgeable and entertaining. I’m wanting to try some ammonium sulfate, but don’t want the PH messed with too much, so I’m still pondering, but feel like one application won’t change it a whole lot?

[@liamwetzler9281]

Brother! Trim that fence. Lol I will share my results from what you have taught me. I just moved into a new home and used to be a landscaper for years when I was a kid in south Mississippi and Louisiana. Now I live in the northwest and have a nice yard with Ky Blue. I just need some guidance brother.

[@milenstoimenov9532]

Great video Jessy! P is banned in many places around the globe. I am surprised how AS can be harmless in the heat of the summer, except, if it is in micro dosage. Organic is great, but completly unpredictable (slowly unpredictable), depending on air temperature, moisture and organic matter content. Price is also 3 times higher compared to mixing pure NPK.

[@doncline6372]

I picked up the liquid pro version Protein Plus and it does not have P. The Eartworks products are more than just normal NPK. My suggestion is you go to their website and dig into what really is in them as they are packed with all kind of goodies. You Tube has a lot of great programs talking the science behind them.

[@LAWNLIFE]

I mean sure, if you want to mix everything yourself, you're definitely going to do things cheaper. I had to try it because of all that sports stadiums that use it for their go-to program

[@Commander_D]

Great video, especially the water test (and even though I hate the Ravens 😂). I just saw Princess Cut do a video of this too, so I’m tempted to buy it after both of your reviews. Have you used any of the other EarthWorks products, like the liquids?

[@doncline6372]

I have been using the liquid the past 6 weeks and it is absolutely a great product…best my yard has looked in years.

[@Commander_D]

@@doncline6372 thanks!

[@LAWNLIFE]

I have not tried the liquids yet. I have some in my garage that I'm going to test out. Just haven't had the chance yet. Jayden Daniels is looking good in the highlights from OTA's. Some crazy accuracy!

[@Pete.across.the.street]

Already heard of it bro. Princess did it

[@LAWNLIFE]

You've heard of it for a full 24 hrs? 😂

[@wcovey25]

How does this compare to something like CarbonProG (biochar) in terms of improving microbial activity?

[@LegendaryLawnCare89]

I'm not sure about this product in general. The best way to increase microbial activity is by incorporating EM1 (Microbial Inoculant) and Blackstrap Molasses into your foliar program. The combination of the two will greatly improve overall soil health. EM1 will also improve disease resistance.

[@LAWNLIFE]

I've never used CarbonProG, I'd have to look into the analysis, but I'm sure the carbon would act pretty similar depending on the amount being put down

[@I3arbarian]

I've been using this since last year. The garden granular 3-3-3 is also great for summer. I use the liquids (garden which is Sea 3 and lawn which is their Protein Plus) monthly. Smell don't bother me.

[@LAWNLIFE]

Nice! What do you think of the 3-3-3? The smell took me a minute to get used to. Don't know if I'm still used to it yet 😂

[@I3arbarian]

@@LAWNLIFE I like the 3-3-3 for overseeding and during the summer as it's just enough good stuff and has that good fungi.

[@jerryclleung]

After I saw your video and Princess Cut video, I ordered 2 bags. Holy Cow, I threw down on 6/28 Friday, I watered in a little and after a nice rainstorm. By Sunday I could see the difference!!! Amazing results!!! Definitely brought the look and health of my grass a few notches up! Although I will say, I’ll only be using it during the summer, because of price, plus I have another crack fertilizer lol, Sta Green Natural Fert. Another AMAZING fert! Thank you!

[@dbproductreviews6319]

Sounds like you’ve got some great results! I’m gonna have to give it a shot, always looking to try something new. I get tired of the same routine.

[@jerryclleung]

@@dbproductreviews6319 that fert is amazing!!! You won’t be disappointed! Go to Seed World and buy it, 50lbs for $32.49 plus shipping will be pricey depending where you’re located.

[@LAWNLIFE]

Can always grab it online!

[@teamclarktrackfield]

Earthworks has always been available to “homeowners,” but only DIY homeowners such as the viewers of this channel would know that. The ordinary homeowner would not have the knowledge to venture to a commercial landscaping store for fertilizer. This product is sold at Landscape Supply in the Virginia and Maryland area. I discovered EW in 2018, and have been using both granular and liquid EW products since then. I’ve had great results with 8-2-2 and 16-0-5 from EW. For EW liquids, I have used Sea 3, Cal Vantage, Mikronite.

[@LAWNLIFE]

Thanks for dropping this knowledge. The 16-0-5 sounds like something I'd definitely be interested in. How do you like the liquids?

[@SONICBOOM98]

You go boy👌

[@doncline6372]

I love the liquids…packed with all kinds of goodies!

[@teamclarktrackfield]

@@LAWNLIFE no problem my friend. We’re all in this together 👍🏽 I like EW liquid products because of the ingredients (molasses, Humic) and the flexibility of application (2 to 4 oz per 2 gallons), even though most of my mixtures are 4 oz per 1 gallon.

[@jaimepadilla9548]

I'm trying to get more info on the product. I wanted to know if it's good for st Augustine?

[@LAWNLIFE]

Yes it is good for st Augustine. Great for both cool season and warm season grasses

[@christophergarza3419]

Do you provide a good fertilizer schedule? Just got new sod put in

[@LegendaryLawnCare89]

I would go the liquid fertilizer route. You'll get much better results and a uniform nutrient coverage. It's very difficult to over do it with liquid applications if you're following the recommended application rates and timing your applications 2 weeks apart. I do treatments weekly for some of my clients. A combination of granular and liquid products is also very effective, you'll get the best of both.

[@LAWNLIFE]

I don't really have a schedule, I kind of eyeball my grass and know what it needs by the look of it. Legendary had a nice answer though

[@Mexi99]

1. Do you water this in? Also I reseeded in certain areas will it kill it?

[@LAWNLIFE]

Yes water it in. You don't have to worry about hurting seedlings with this fert. You should be good to go

Couple days at most.

[@LAWNLIFE]

Honestly not long after you put it down. Like less than a day. But if it sits in your garage, you can smell it until it leaves 😂

[@geronimoberrios76]

After 3 years of JUNE/JULY yellow/ heat spots on my zoysia (I have a morning direct sun light reflecting from a neighbor's window reflecting on to my lawn- like a magnifying glass heat) But yesterday I found (while using a long screwdriver) to feel if the clay soil (Greenville SC) was too hard in certain areas, well I felt/heard a few 'clicks' in the yard as I pushed the screwdriver in... I discovered there are small patches of rocks/gravel 2" below the soil line. How do i safely remove the gravel (6ft x 6ft area) without destroying my grass? Thanks

I've never heard of coop poop, but by judging by the name. I would probably say yes lol

[@athomson999]

What do you think of the liquid version? Their website says you get two bottles that cover 5000 square feet each. Can that be possible? The 25 lb bag at a similiar price says it covers 5000 square feet. That makes the liquid half the price. Can that be right?

[@LAWNLIFE]

After doing the math, that's only like 0.07 lbs on N per K. That's not very much at all. Compared to the 0.4 lbs of N you're putting down with granular..Which to me, the better buy is the granular on paper. I haven't used the liquids yet.

What Evan said ^^

Milorganite is safe to put on your lawn even in the hot summer without burning your grass because there is no salt in it. Can earthworks replenished be used the same way?

[@LAWNLIFE]

Yes it has VERY low salt content. Without the forever chemicals like Milorganite has. That's why I have stopped using Milorganite to be honest.

[@batgele2796]

don’t use milorganite. it’s pelletized human/sewer waste. it’s a great way for treatment plants to rid of this byproduct but i wouldn’t store it in my lawn. if you don’t believe me, put a cup of milorganite in a pint of water and check it out in a day or two. disgusting
