This CHEAP FERTILIZER is better than the other for 3 obvious reasons!

[@reggiemurphy1523]

It is sad that a lot of the local shops are closing up! I agree, you get much better customer service and first hand knowledge from the mom and pop shops! Thanks for this one Travis!! The battle continues!!

[@BudgetLawns]

I hate it man. I do my best to support when I can. Appreciate ya as always, my friend. Have a great rest of the weekend!

[@bobzilla6618]

You're spot on with the bags. I bought some fert a few years ago and didn't notice the small hole in it.... Until i got home and saw the fertilizer all over the place in my trunk. Great tips as always! Have a good rest of your weekend, Travis 🤜🤛!

[@BudgetLawns]

Man, that's frustrating isn't it? Thanks so much for watching and commenting as always. Hope you have a great rest of the weekend as well! 👊👊

[@thefpvlife7785]

I just picked up the expert Walmart special here in NJ on a huge sale for $7 a bag. Snatched 3 for next season.

[@BudgetLawns]

Right on. Heck of a deal. They never go on sale in my area. Don't know why. I check every year and no luck. Glad you snagged some at a good price. Thanks so much for watching and sharing.

[@lfc1725]

How do you determine which spreader setting to use when applying it to your lawn?

[@BudgetLawns]

I start with a really low number and barely let any product out. I might open it a little more, but I prefer to let just a little product out at a time and make 2 (maybe 3) passes in multiple directions to spread it evenly. Hope this helps.

My pleasure. Appreciate you!

always entertaining, more important great content and information. Keep it coming.

[@BudgetLawns]

Appreciate that. Thanks for the feedback. If there's ever anything you'd like to see done differently, please let me know. I'm a guy who likes to watch simple videos of people just talking. I don't need a lot of b-roll or fancy things to be entertained. So I typically lean toward producing those kinds of videos. Thanks again!

Man that front yard is looking 🔥. It is funny seeing all the videos pushing the stressful blends and double price, meant double dark 😂

Thanks buddy. I get a good kick out of all that. No hate, just a good laugh all in good fun. Hope you're having a great fall so far. Appreciate ya.

Where you getting that fertilizer? Ace Hardware out in Prairie Grove doesn't want to offer much, but I try to support local and it's a little more costly...

The Hardware Store on Township in Fayetteville. Nelson Hardware in Cave Springs also stocks it. Two locally, family owned hardware stores. My faves! Appreciate ya watching!

Just subscribed! I am determined to learn to do this myself (or, between myself and my son, lol) instead of relying on the expensive lawn treatment companies like I have for years. Your lawn looks amazing! What do you do for weeds?

[@BudgetLawns]

Right on. Thank you. I appreciate it. Good luck this year. I don't do much for weeds. An application or 2 of pre emergent a year. At most 3. And spot treat weeds with Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns if needed. Thanks again.

Might have to try the triple 10 ferts. Im trying to rebuild my yard some one had mowed and bagged it for years without adding fertilizer so its just stripped of nutes and ph is very low 4.5 added dolomite lime already and cheap garden fertilizer with all the micronutrients.

We’ve got ProCare triple 13 on sale for $14 /40lb bags. Have you used it?

I get my fertilizer from my local Wilco store, I use a 25-0-20. Love it…they also have there iron man + with 16% iron love it. I never go to big box stores any more…

You are correct fert is fert all depends on the amount of N you want to get down I suppose , BTW did you catch that rascal yet?

[@BudgetLawns]

👊👊 not yet, my friend. The chase continues. Appreciate you bud.

[@StephOfAllTradesMasterOfNone19]

Have you considered making some apps of Ammonium Sulfate? Youre gonna have enough P and K for the next century living on triple 10! Just a thought.

[@BudgetLawns]

Once this new lawn gets established the way I want it, I will be experimenting with some other more N focused ferts with no P and some K. Appreciate ya watching and your thoughts!

[@ROG956]

How much nitrogen are you applying per application? Trying to put down 3-4 times per year. Don’t want to “throw her down” monthly

[@BudgetLawns]

@@ROG956 This past season I applied two applications of about .9/lbs of N per thousand and one app at just less than .5/lbs. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@susanfisher1491]

What and when do you treat for Grubbs?

[@BudgetLawns]

Nothing and never. I would only treat if I have a visible infestation and that has never happened. Thanks for watching.

[@butchbr73]

How does the “p” in the npk affect your thoughts with runoff and your drainage you have?

[@BudgetLawns]

Do you use anything besides fertilizer in your lawn?

[@butchbr73]

Yes but I don’t have drains. I’m “learning”.

[@BudgetLawns]

This is only a second year lawn in the back and first year in the front. For now I’m feeding it a balanced fert to get it established. At some point, I’ll switch to a more nitrogen based fert with a little k and no p. As far as drainage goes, small amounts of leaching are possible but from my research through the university of Arkansas extension office, the affects of fertilizer runoff are not as much as people think. Fortunately, I have run all my gutters underground to the street. I have very little moving water in the lawn even during the heaviest of downpours. The catch basins in the back do very little after I redid the grade on the uphill side of the backyard to direct all flowing water from upstream into my dry creek bed then eventually to the street. I do my best to be as environmentally responsible as possible and take all precautions necessary. Beyond that, all that’s left is to do nothing at all. Hope this answers your questions. I get tired of tap dancing with folks about P because that’s all anyone ever wants to virtue signal about and ignores everything else. Not saying you’re doing this, just clarifying.

[@BudgetLawns]

[@russvegaspd]

Where do I get it locally if in Russellville?

[@BudgetLawns]

Sorry. Wish I could help ya there but I haven’t lived in Russellville in over 21 years. Not sure what the best shops are. Leonard’s maybe? Appreciate ya watching.

[@russvegaspd]

@@BudgetLawns appreciate it. I’ll check there but has been recently bought out so who knows 🤞🏻

[@BudgetLawns]

👍👍

[@grayfox9911]

You are correct that there is absolutely no need to send major dollars on fertilizer. However, everyone should be very careful about putting that much P down regularly . If you don't see some sign that the soil is low on P, or have a soil test that shows low P, not only are you likely creating an environmental problem with too much P, you are also wasting money paying for P or K if you don't need it. AMS 21-0-0 is much cheaper and useful to the grass...

[@BudgetLawns]

I feel like we've had this conversation before, so I'll just echo that. In fact, that was well over a year ago and the last time you commented. Thanks so much for watching and commenting again. Appreciate you.

[@grayfox9911]

Yes, we did and you ignored the issue. Too much P is a serious problem and can't be ignored. It's too easy an issue to fix...@@BudgetLawns

[@BudgetLawns]

I didn’t ignore it. I made more points to your point and you never responded. The virtue signaling about phosphorus but not anything else people contaminate our environment with in lawn care is a tired act. If you’re gonna take up the cause, do more than just push the phosphorus issue. That’s the easy way out for you I’m sure. Likely because you feel good about yourself for performing soil tests but also know that you throw far worse down on your lawn than the phosphorus I do on mine. Go back and read our conversation and tell me I’m wrong.

[@grayfox9911]

You are wrong. Whether anyone has a soil test or not, The red wave in FL is cause by excessive P. That is fact, not guessing. You are advising however many people to add P regardless where they are or their particular circumstances and that is wrong and @@BudgetLawns y excessive P. That is fact, not guessing. You are advising however many people to add P regardless where they are or their particular circumstances and that is wrong and irresponsible.

[@BudgetLawns]

Oh geez. I'm not talking about whether I'm right or wrong about the P issue. I'm talking about your virtue signaling about it. Detach from your emotions for a second and address what I said after you claimed I ignored the issue last time when I in fact did not.
