@darkhorse9472 3 жыл бұрын

Just an FYI- Early every Spring, I fertilize my ALREADY established lawn once with 'Starter lawn fertilizer'. Its high phosphorus content promotes the strong root system, which you don't get in a regular fertilizer. I follow with a regular lawn fertilizer a few weeks after that, and throughout the rest of the year, as recommended. Makes a huge difference, grass is thick, green, and healthy. Neighbors ask me what I did. They ya go!

The liquid stuff works good for actually loosening the soil, but a huge advantage of core aeration is that the plugs bring beneficial bacteria up to the surface where they can break down thatch.

Soap is not an equal substitute for many reasons. I will keep this short and just say that a true ionic surfactant designed to break up surface tension, will yield much better results without compromising turf chemistry. Soap is nowhere near equal to a true liquid aerator, not even close. If you need results, skip the soap and go with core aerating as well as liquid aerating.

@mesoed 4 жыл бұрын

With regards to the Ortho Dial-and-Spray. The number on the dial basically equates to how much product gets sucked up in 2 minutes time. So if you can cover that 500 sq ft EVENLY in that 2 minutes, you're good. Otherwise you're going to either going to apply too heavy (sprayed too slow) or too light (sprayed too fast). Make it easy...measure the total amount of product you need to apply into the sprayer (markings on the side of the canister), fill the rest with water, set the dial on a somewhat lower setting and evenly dispense the entirely of what you measured out. It's a LOT easier to evenly dispense a product going slower until you have an idea how fast you need to spray. It ensures you are applying the CORRECT amount of the product, not bound by the exact time needed to dispense it.

For those of you having trouble with clogged hose end sprayers. Try straining your product first before adding it to sprayer. Those little straws will get clogged a lot if not. Just pick up a mesh strainer from Amazon or your local dollar store (Or steal one from your wife's kitchen. Just be sure to keep it in the garage after use) and strain into a bucket. Also, it helps to use a drill with a mixing bit to mix product thoroughly before straining.

The key phrase in that post *There is no indication that any of these products has ever been scientifically evaluated for effectiveness* I think that's true, no university has tested it. I also fully agreed with them which is why I wanted to see some actual proof that it did something, hence the video & test. As always, I encourage you to not believe me or my video, make your own decision but what can't be denied that on various brands of these sold on Amazon & elsewhere there are literally thousands of positive reviews, can they all be fake or are literally thousands of people have no idea?

Doubt that helps much, but better than nothing. Tide detergent helps lawns thrive.

In addition, one of the main ingredients in Tide is phosphates, which plants love.

SPF 80 or if I am recalling correctly produced by the Amway Corporation was the best I ever tried it really worked on causing the dry ground to actually absorb the water. That was years ago so I am not sure if it's still around it used to come in like a pretty good sized container and it was concentrated so it would cover a hugely large amount of ground several times overs. I found it from a farmer that loved it and would buy it in 50 gal drums every year. I tried on my lawn and he was correct. It works.Irrigation is still about a lot of water but the more soil that absorbed water the less waisted on evaporation.

So if your testing on punk dry earth, using this product will run off as well. That’s why I water my lawn a lot during no rain stretches, then when we do get rain, my yard is susceptible to take on the rain and not run off.

Based off you filling the while container up with the product then setting dial to 4 ounces... You used way more than was necessary

Did you ever think that your liquid aerator was just wetting the mulch? Like you could have sprayed the same amount of plain water on the mulch and it would have done the same thing as your liquid aerator. Mulch becomes hydrophobic when it dries out.

Awesome idea! Pretty much what I needed I for my beds and I’ll try in the lawn also. Some of the beds I transplanted some hydrangea and the soil there just isn’t good and the plant is struggling. I take it this would work well as a soil conditioner. I see Doc advocating the use of ground up chicken feed to add bio nutrients into the soil and to aid in some composting.

Silver Cymbal rewatching this again. It’s almost like an alternative to Super Juice but doesn’t contain fertilizer. Others have 2-3 products per box for $90. This is all in one. Just would need fertilizer before hand. I’m starting my rehab program soon and I’ll be ordering this.

@@35057 I completely agree and the difference is that this is a real product meaning its not just an assortment of diluted chemicals. this is humic acid from a natural source, real sea kelp extract and other natural products concentrated. This stuff stinks in he bottle, has no smell once applied to the lawn but you can tell its real. Other stuff looks liked colored water.

Do you feel that the Ortho sprayer could take the place of a back pack sprayer (for a 5000 sq ft lawn)? Seems to me that it’s a lot easier to pour into the spray bottle, hook the hose up, and go to work.

@SilverCymbal 4 жыл бұрын

Yes and no, for some applications like this one, its soooo fast and easy but there are some application that must be misted onto the grass, like Tenacity and Sea Kelp, but you could just get a smaller sprayer fro those and use the ortho for larger areas

W Jack it was a mixture of products in this application. I assume he meant sea kelp from concentrate by itself which does need to be mist applied

@SilverCymbal 4 жыл бұрын

@@CesarMartinez-tp4bx 100% correct. Sea kelp is effective on both a fine mist application and directly into the soil so you get a boost either eay.

I have an irrigation system to supplement the rain and i want to make sure the grass is established before winter.
