I used dish soap when I wanted to get rid of mole cricket, it made the grass greener in those places. I didn't even know I helped my grass. Now I know what I should do. Thank you!!! , I'm glad I found You on KZfaq.☺️👍👍

Use the dish soap that doesn't have the antibacterial. Like Dawn with the duck on it. Don't want to kill the bacteria in the lawn.

I used my backpack sprayer for a hydretain application Im gonna have to get one of those orthos again. Those hose end sprayers are awesome, I also like the heavier droplet sizes I get out of it as opposed to the finer mist Im getting with my current flat tip that came with the sprayer. Lawns looking good, mine is coming back, got some weed pressure Im cleaning up tomorrow and I should be back on track.

I did this just a few weeks ago, it really does help. I tried both baby shampoo and Dawn with the duck on it (the non-antibacterial version). The baby shampoo foamed less, so i’ll stick to that next time.

You got a link, or name, of the hose nozzle you're using? I've never been able to find a good one like that where I can just twist it to get a bit of water to come out when I don't need a full force stream.

My man, you need to include what setting you’re using on your sprayer and also what is the square feet you were applying to container of water 👌 thanks otherwise we just guessing.

@LawnAmateur Ай бұрын

No problem, the setting is subjective that really depends on how heavy you want to spray. I spray on 1-1 1/2 on the sprayer. That little area I was spraying was about 1000 sq combined rounded up just to even it out.
