This is the backpack sprayer - it comes with the white turbo-floodjet tip and elbow. It's got a powerful 1GPM pump that pushes product through smoothly. You will only need the low setting to spray your lawn. The other setting is for uses where you find a need for high pressure ludicrous mode :: thelawncarenut.com/products/4-gallon-backpack-sprayer

That dream phase of warmer weather and the kids out of school. Fishing. Camping. Green lawn and flowers blooming. I like winter, up until Christmas. After that, it can go away.

Great tips for what can be intimidating for someone that hasn't sprayed with a backpack before. I do it a little different, but I think it accomplishes the same thing. I just mark off 1000 sq ft and make about 3-5 runs and average out how much I sprayed, then I can use that data to make my calculations for the rest of the year. I like to do this every year because the sprayer could change over time due to wear and tear.

What are your thoughts on doing two passes going in opposite directions? I have used that method with success but I am wondering if it is just a crutch cuz I’m concerned about missing spots. Love the content. My lawn has gone from zero to hero and is still green here in SE Michigan.

@Thelawncarenut Жыл бұрын

doing a double pass is for sure a very good option. If you are used to doing it that way and you don't mind the extra time it takes then I'd say stick with it. If you are applying something like Air8 or RGS that doesn't change the color of the lawn, then maybe you can practice getting it done in a single pass. Either way works!! Also it's awesome to hear about your results Dan! Hopefully you will be mowing by the end of March this year!

When you use a product like azoxystrobin that the label says mix with 2-4 gallons of water for every 1000sf... Are you double pass spraying or are you going to a bigger tip... Like approx 2x the flow rate? ie, blue or green floodjet instead of white? Also... Specific to azoxy.. it doesn't say to water it in or not... And doesn't give a recommended droplet size on the label... With the higher water volume, are you using an extra coarse droplet size and letting it just work it's own way down, or are you watering it in?

@Thelawncarenut Жыл бұрын

With the azoxy you mention, I would do exactly what you said, use the low setting and make two passes using the white tip. I do not water it in. I let it sit for at least 24 hours.

@Thelawncarenut Жыл бұрын

The general program that is in there is tailored for either cool or warm season grass and then the timing is based on soil temps in your zip code. If you want a more custom program, you can get our soil test and the results in the app will then customize the recommendations based on that data. As far as the size of the lawn, it's not going to give anytihng specific there but you can measure in the app so yo know what size to purchase of each item. you can buy right through the app too.

Any other Applications that would require a fine tip besides pre-emergent & post weed control?

@Thelawncarenut Жыл бұрын

Pre-emergent uses the tip with the larger/course droplet size and you water it in. Weed control uses the finer mist. Another example for a fine mist would be 0-0-7 Greene Effect which is an iron and nitrogen fertilizer that absorbs into the grass leaves (foliar absorption) so you want that to sit on the leaves and not water it in. Some fungicides also call for not watering them in so the finer mist would be better in those cases.

Thanks for the vid and great instruction. Been purchasing the Bio stims from you the last 3 years and my lawn looks great. working on applying liquid pre emergence (prodiamine) and ferts instead of granules this year to raise my game. I know that one gallon per 1k is optimum. Wouldn't it be ok to add extra water to the tank with the correct product to cover my sq footage. Just make sure I empty the tank each time till I learn my sprayer and pace. I figure the water is the carrier and as long as I empty the spray tank I'm good.

Hello! I really need some advice for my 14,000 sqft lawn. It's a mixture of bermuda and centipede and zoysia. Which should I try killing off and come Spring and Summer, should I be spreading a grass type mix or should I be spreading pure bermuda/centipede/or zoysia seed?

@Thelawncarenut Жыл бұрын

Its going to be difficult to get one of them to take over the others because any chemical you use to kill one will also kill the others. Really, the only way would be to scrape it all up and re-sod :: I know that's a sh*tty answer but it's what we deal with here in warm season lawn country. Some other things to consider are that bermuda and zoysia actually look pretty good together. They both also like to be mowed super low. You may be able to thin out the centipede by going low and mowing often. Seeding is an entirely bigger conversation but in general, I recommend against it. If you have some bermuda and zoysia there already, just encourage them to spread by pushing them with frequent mmowing and lots of nitrogen. I'll try to address this on the podcast because I think it's a good topic that needs more detail

@gogreensolutionsllc6904 Жыл бұрын

Treat for the Bermuda zoysia. There are a few products like revolver that will kill out the centipede. Bermuda is rapidly aggressive and will take over the weakened centipede. However the Bermuda zoysia will compete hard, but it would be at least achievable to have the Bermuda possibly take over eventually
