Hey Princess Cut! We sent you an email last week, just wondering if you received it or not. Please let us know. Thanks in advance!!!

What about oz to gallons for the sprayer? I sprayer several customers yards and wonder what would be just general how many oz per gallon? So if I have a 3 gallon sprayer how many oz would I use?

FYI: for the results I mentioned earlier, I used your numbers from the video 3.5oz for 250 square feet but I have three sections of yard that are right at 2500 sq ft so I did 350z in a 5 gal Strom battery backpack sprayer for each section and on the high flow setting and regular walking pace, had just enough to cover the area back and forth and side to side.

So 2.4 oz per gallon of water for the medium? I have about 3 acres to do and plan to do prior to rain on Tuesday. Will it hurt landscaping flowers ect if wind oversprays?

Wow had no idea about DEF

😂

I have owned a pair of new balance shoes that I had bought at the good feet store.

​@@ronp1018Very interesting!

😂💯

How much did you spill when you discovered it ?

@@ralanham76 too much.

@@jayh9635

​@@jayh9635lmao happens to us all

Been doing it over 8 years...

haha would not be surprised at all! same thing happened with my amazon rake video and glyphosate video, they both increased 300 percent in price!

This might be my favorite video you’ve done. But before everyone goes out buying up all the DEF fluid, understand that 34-0-0 granular is still going to be ~3X cheaper source of N than buying 2.5 gallon jugs of DEF.

It already will. Russia and China produce most of the worlds Urea. They stopped exporting. Which is why fert prices are rising. Semi trucks will be hurting because of it too.

Haha

Dude I never even looked at Def fluid since I don’t own a diesel what make you look at the product? Great idea. I would be nervous some products may contain other additives so I guess you should be sure to read the label well as always lol

Godamn that’s hilarious

*EPA has entered the chat* Come here you little shit!!

😂😂😂😂

This made my day 😂

"Delete" a few prick politicians who thought using cattle piss in a diesel was a good idea while you're at it!

No problem dude! hows your season going??

Thank you so much Jon! Ive been seeing all your comments, thank you so much for the support!

appreciate that sir!

I appreciate that!

Appreciate that Mike! Means a lot!

Thanks you so much!

Blue marker dye is amazing

@@robertlevy4613 Thanks for replying. Oh, did if forget to mention that the dye is hard to wash off. I believe this was covered in the movie Marked for Death.

@@outlet6989 bleach takes it off concrete fairly easily. Sunshine and water naturally break it down in the grass

My man! Happy to hear 😃

I am going to try this. But I have a Ortho dial in Sprayer and a 6gl hose end sprayer. So whats the ratio an how to mix? Thx.

Well. How did it work?

@bobbarone7327 Hey George, I haven't tried it yet! Once the Bermuda comes out of dormancy (around mid May) I'll give it a try! I'll let you know how it works. Blessings, Kevin Barron

Appreciate it Michael!

great to hear!

​@@PrincessCutLawnCare Found it at Tractor Supply for $12.99. Put it out yesterday about three hours before a good soaking thunderstorm. Back out today and when I pulled up from work around 4pm... man, when I say green up, I mean GREEN UP!! And this coming from someone who use chelated liquid iron from SiteOne and had just put down a round of Anderson's PGF complete at the beginning of the month. But this stuff surprised even me!

@@TroyShields Happy to hear bro!!

Great to hear Ben! Thanks for the update 😃

How often are you applying it?

How often are you applying it?

Thanks dude! thanks for sharing your app rate, i always wondered how much ammonium was need as jerry baker never says the exact app rates, appreciate you sharing!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare your channel has great content. Lawn care enthusiasts have to help each other out. I add it to my hose end sprayer when I apply my bio stimulants. Not sure about the environmental impact, but you can’t beat the price.

How long does this last after spraying the yard and how often can this be applied? I use a pull behind sprayer, takes 25 gallons to cover my yard...

1/2 cup per 1000 ft is what amount per gallon of water?

@@greggilbert9403 I put it in a two gallon sprayer and apply it over 1,000 square feet. It needs watered in after applying. I usually put down 1/4 of an inch of water after application. Your mileage may vary.

save big money at menards 😉

Plus 11% back!

no problem boss!

How much nitrogen do you think milo has?

Milorganite is dried human waste and chemicals from water treatment plants, right?

@@dicksavage88 Yes it is! and made in Mil waukee ! which is why it is named Mil organite!

That’s great to hear boss! Give it another couple days and your lawn will be POPPIN

Great tip!

Great to hear boss! Thankls for sharing your experience!

Do you add water

Yes, I added 4oz to 1 gal of water.@@blackknight6066

sweeeeeet! thanks for sharing!

Or you buy from pump at trk stop

I have a 5 gallon bucket that I put a slitted pool noodle around the edge (cheapo toilet seat) when I go camping as a "pee" bucket. I was just thinking a few days about using it to collect homemade urea for the compost pile. Hmmm.

Synthetic Urea is absolutely a petrochemical industry product.

Everywhere I piss nothing grows

no problem bro! thanks for the sub! see ya around!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare have you ever tried Nitro-Phos fertilizer bro? Works pretty good but this texas weather's killer on my lawn.

@@isaflo713 have not tried that one, you like it?

@@PrincessCutLawnCare I do like it. The only thing is that the grass grows really fast so I have to mow every other day. Nice beautiful green color

Thanks dude! learned about it on the lawn forum here-> thelawnforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5097

thanks Keith!

Thanks for sharing!

was that you? i remember someone mentioning it

@@PrincessCutLawnCare it was and thank you for figuring out the rate the test plot looked really good 👍

Wait until they start pulling hydrogen for fuel out of NH3. Then the prices should really shoot up!!

They don't "burn" it. Its reacts with the SCR to create ammonia to react with NOx to form Harmless emissions.

​@@user-qo3yy9nv1uIt's absolutely stupid. A 1990 dodge 12 valve Cummins got 27 mpg if you babied it. A one ton with 902,000 miles and counting. My father bought the truck new it's never had a thing done to it. My new truck with the same 8 foot Reading utility bed. It gets about 12mpg. If you think that is better for the environment you are crazy. The ignorance of our American people is simply astounding.

DEF is Urea, Urea is ammonia.

It's cattle piss, NOT fertilizer. Jeesh dude, research before making such comments. Then again, thanks for giving me a great laugh and yet more proof that "Idiocracy" really was a documentary!

oh yes, weeds always die faster when they are activy growing so when fert is applying at the same time it accelerates the rate of absorption into the plant, i usually use ammonium sulfate nitrogen when spraying herbicides because its absorbs faster than urea, will be making a video soon about it

@@PrincessCutLawnCare Waiting on this video!

@@tminust7369 just released it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9F5iZCrptqbhoU.html

@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks man! Excellent content as always! Also can you mix ammonia with tenacity/speed zone

Thanks for the information going to try it today I'm always in the Lawn should have started with this question can you use it on Kentucky blue grass.

You bet!

np dan! good to see you sir!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare So I don't melt my brain Georgie.... 5fl oz of DEF per 1 gallon of water= .5 lbs of Nitrogen per 1000sf?!

@@xpress144 5 ozs will be .05 pounds of n. Which is pretty low. I would do 10 ozs per thousand which will be .1 pounds of N which is a good rate for summer time

@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thanks George! I'll share my results with ya on the IG. 🙏

@@xpress144 sweet! look forward to it!

Nice! That’s a win

Totally agree! Straight urea is def cheaper which is why I made sure to include “liquid fertilizer” in the title as in, cheapest premixed liquid solution. Thanks for sharing dude!

I did a little research and find your pricing is off. The cheapest I can find urea 50 pound bag is $90 and change. That includes Walmart and Amazon. That price of $12 is more in line with 5 pounds. 46-0-0

My pricing isn’t off, those are the local prices at our local farmers cooperative for a 50lb bag of straight urea. You won’t find good deals on fertilizer at Walmart just FYI.

@@donwilliams3350 You don't buy a 50lb bag of urea from Amazon or Walmart. You buy it at a local coop or farm store.

@@krusej23 Funny I checked both in there they were.

😂

What rate did you go with and did you water it in after?

The exact same ratio as he listed above in his pinned comment. It doesn't matter HOW you put the product down, but it does matter HOW MUCH. Just follow the application rate instructions above.

I was thinking of same method myself , thanks for asking 😊

nice! you got the extra low hook up!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare fleet farm does i dont

no problem boss!

nice that is the proper way to do it, im just afraid if i say that than people will apply a high rate and forget to water in later and then come back screaming at me that they burned their lawn 😂

@@PrincessCutLawnCare Where can I get this?

Thanks for the sub Ed! means a lot 😀 and yes the DEF would be perfect to add to a fertigation schedule. ive been meaning to get one of those units but havent pulled the trigger just yet

A hose-end sprayer would also work.

What would the rate be with a hose-end sprayer?

no prep, spray in evening and water in for at least 5 min afterward

@@PrincessCutLawnCare easy peasy. Too easy. Thanks

Nice!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare much cheaper this way and pure

haha its only urea and water

Dont tell them lol just go buy some 🤣

Repackage or take off the label?

Pump it into a container from a truckstop and then tell them whatever you want lol. Plus thats going to cost even less per gallon than the boxed stuff

LOL watch DEF spike to 100 dollars now 😂

Fun Fact: Pilot truck stop is the biggest user of DEF. They sell it and dispense just like fuel from a pump.

no problem! appreciate you stopping by!

thanks !

What kind of grass is an automotive field?

@@m4inline Bentley Grass, obviously

@@dilbertgilbert must be a tyring job

No problem!

sweet! how much do you apply at a time for your foilar app?

@@PrincessCutLawnCare 0.25lbs of urea per 1000sqft. = 23.5 fl. ounces of DEF.

I should mention that I have Bermuda & as you know it’s a nitrogen hog. I don’t know if .25lbs is too for cool season 🤷🏻

you do know DEF is 1part 46-0-0 2parts H2O right

its also $4920 per ton for urea that retails around $900 per ton currently

That sounds like a big brain play right there. Did you follow through with this? If so, what are your results?

@@Viper3870750 no, not yet but I'm gonna try it this spring... ideally, I'd love to do an inline Venturi valve with a couple of ball valves to open or close the "circuit" and then have a blue def tank that it siphons from when the sprinklers turn on.

Make sure you run pure water in the sprinkler after the def is put down initially. You can't have the full container mixed and that is the only thing you're watering with it'll burn your grass

10 oz per thousand in the hose end (low setting) Apply before or during rain

sweet! thrower down! haha

@@PrincessCutLawnCare haha yeah now I know I can! Great video

Dude thank you!!! It’s funny you mentioned that! I’m doing a video on ams vs urea right this moment! I literally got chills reading your comment because you totally called out my new video, will be out Monday morning. PS you are ABSOLUTELY right about AMS, in my testing it trumped urea.

@@PrincessCutLawnCare Nice, that’s random, but I guess AMS is the natural progression there I guess. W/ the mention of the last app of the year, I’m in super mild WA (no snow mold… maybe a week of snow on the ground total if that and temps rarely much below freezing)… I had deep green all winter but that might not be a good thing for most areas. I got off ProPEAT despite it being a AMS based fert because it’s hard to spoon feed the stuff so the result is a leopard pattern yard even with multiple passes where liquids are kinda the only way to go for a nice even look, so that might be worth mentioning in the Monday vid for people that are OK spoon feeding. If people are putting down 1/2 a pound of N at a time they probably shouldn’t be putting out straight AMS anyway. If people have gone that far down the rabbit hole it’s probably time for them to bite the bullet and get a FlowZone.

I'm betting the reason you're having better results with AMS is because of the sulfur (21-0-0-24). Sulfur deficiencies are common today because of cleaner burning coal power plants. We used to get adequate amounts of S from rain before power plant scrubbers. I'm not saying scrubbers are a bad thing. The Nitrogen from ams isn't any more available than the Nitrogen from Urea. Nitrogen is nitrogen (when talking about synthetic forms like urea, 28%, ams, anhydrous ammonia ect..)

@@caseymac2287 my understanding is AMS is available quicker… on the spectrum: nitrate sources are available now, Ammoniacal nitrogen is easy for microbes to break down and urea takes a hair longer. Not long ago I blended my own water soluble 100%, but for cost savings I replaced solo WS ingredients (AMS, MAP, & SOP) as much as possible with 24-8-16 Peter’s Professional water soluble and I custom supplement N, P, or K to get the exact ratios I want approximately every 10 days. Raised mowing height from 1/2” to 1” this year also and my lawn has never looked better. I used to do Jack’s 5-12-26 for my micros a few times a year but plenty of premium chelated micros (roughly 10x less) in the 24-8-16. My PH is perfect in my front lawn, so I’m sure the micros aren’t actually doing much. I agree about the sulfur… I was saying the AMS has been shown to generate much higher greening nutrients in leaf tissue analysis vs. urea and I consider sulfur closer to a macro-nutrient. PH in my area actually favors low numbers so I doubt sulfur is rare West if the Rockies as a rule of thumb but that’s just me rambling. Peter’s Pro 24-8-16 is about 1/3 nitrate N, 1/3 ammoniacal N, and about 1/3 urea N…. This creates a slower quick release for even more consistent green when spoon feeding. (For ryegrass only) in Spring I like about .15#N every 10 days in my younger lawn… closer to .08#N in Summer (irrigated) and more like .20#N in much of the Fall based on growth potential for now. If I could own only one fertilizer it would be Peter’s Pro water soluble, but on the edge approaching dormancy at very low rates AMS is able to break down at lower soil temps since it’s closer to available but nitrate nitrogen is even better… might even change my AMS applications to straight nitrate forms at those boarderline low temps (very low rates of course since grass is barely growing). I prefer my lawn super dark green through the winter (very mild winters in my area (pacific NW). I’m aiming at almost 4#N this year for my perennial ryegrass but if I had any other type of grass I would aim closer to 2.5-2.75# annual N to help manage thatch or possibly bump that a little while doing notable amounts of aeration.

@@IntegrityDistribution The nitrogen from ams and the nitrogen from urea are one in the same. Nitrite is Nitrite. Both need to be converted to nitrate by soil microbes and converted into nitrate which is a plant usable form. The plant then converts that into amino acids or proteins. The extra greening you're seeing is from the sulfur. I get the same affect when I side dress or top dress corn with ams compared to 28% solution. What's you sulfur levels from your soil test. Im guessing they're at the lower end of the spectrum.

Yes you are correct, generic granular will be cheaper however, when it comes to liquid fertilizer, this will by far be the cheapest.

Here's the trick to DEF, buy the Walmart or auto parts store generic brand at $6-9 for 2.5 gal or go to a pilot gas station where the rigs buy fuel and get it for $3-3.50 a gal at the pump not in the store. The branded def is always double or triple+ the no name stuff and it's all the same as it has a very specific function in diesel exhaust systems none are blended too differently.

You not taking into account!! Instant results hands down!! Everything else is a minimum 3days!!!

Thanks! how much is UAN fert?

@@PrincessCutLawnCare Of course these are wholesale prices, but we sell UAN currently around $300/ton. That's about $1.65/gallon. The real savings is being able to use anhydrous ammonia, currently about $500/ton or $1.30/gallon. Only the anhydrous is about double the nitrogen as the UAN. It ends up being half the price, but riskier to apply and harder to handle. Most farmers in corn country use anhydrous for the price. But a lot are switching to UAN for the convenience. DEF is starting to be sold at the gas stations, I've seen local pumps selling for $3.59/gallon, bring your own container.

Is this fine for crops

@@charliedaniel718 depends what crop, most veggies require a balanced fertilizer with equal parts NP and K

@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks for the quick response!

No problem trevor, thanks for watching

no problem! apply w 1 gal water per 1k sqft

Im gonna hold you to that! 🍻

Haha I can see you stealth fertilizing all brown lawns on the block

Stealth neighborhood domination? 😆😆😆 At least I know who to blame for giving YardBrah this idea!!! 🤣🤙

12 oz not 13

hi Patrick, not sure where you got the 6 oz per 1k sqft but if you want to see a good color response i recommend a min of 12-15oz per 1k sqft. I don't think you will that much, if any, of a difference using 6 oz per 1k

This was my first attempt and I didn't want to burn the lawn. If this doesn't work I will increase. Better safe than sorry. I thought I found a number of ideas about how much to use. At least I have a system and can tweak it.

@@patrickt863 gotcha i understand, the good thing about using your hose end is there is no way you will burn the lawn even using up to 20 oz (assuming you have it calibrated properly which sounds like you do)
