I don’t have 2 years lol.

@Primetime_Fescue where are you going??? They didn't build Rome overnight lol

@spankyslawncarellc7822 🤣🤣

You have all the cool toys!

@ I have spent a fair amount of money on toys forsure!

🙏

Definitely turned out better than I was expecting after the start I had!

It can but I don’t advise it. I have a sprayer for only glyphosate. If you dare do this you need to triple rinse it at the minimum and spray last tank through the wand. Not sure if it’s worth the chance honestly.

@ what nozzle did you use to spray. I have a teejet AIC and XRC. I would be worried to use the XRC with the drift.

@ I use Aic

You would have to call and see if that seed is certified I assume

@@Primetime_Fescue I looked up the manufacturer and it is produced by DLF Pickseed. I guess it's just marketed as a blend mixture. 4 out of the 5 cultivars are listed as their Competition Grade Turf Seed, and a couple are marked as A List, Alliance for Low Input Sustainable Turf certified. No mention of blue label. I think I'll email them for the heck of it and find out. Thanks again.

You can do that should work fine

🙏 🙏

That would definitely be the best thing to do for more even coverage.

I watered in immediately and started to see something 2 days past application. This fertilizer really need to be applied with soil temps 50 to 60 that way you can get it all. Mine are averaging about 55 right now

@ I'm In NJ and soil temps are low 50's as well, our outdoor temps are ranging from high 50's - 60's to low 40's to upper 30's... I went down with that same fert Saturday 1/2 pound per 1K.. water in that day and next... got a couple days of slow rain coming so hoping to see a little dark pop..

@Chevxjoe you should be seeing something

So this is called volatilization. What needs to happen is if urea is applied it needs to be watered in quickly to get into the soil. Urea will also volatilize in warmer soil temps 60 and above so it is best when used in cooler temps. My thoughts on this fertilizer is it’s good but needs to be used in cooler temps. In warmer soil temps I’m looking more at a slow release something like Methylene urea or Urea triazone. AMS is available immediately as soon as it gets in the soil but I do not like to apply that in warmer just because of the quick lush growth. Urea has to convert to a usable nitrogen Ammonium before it can be used that’s why it needs watering in quickly so it doesn’t volatilize. Hope this helps!!

Let me add this also when the temps get lower and lower AMS is a better option or Nitrate.

@@Primetime_Fescue That does. The other video I watched was saying the volatilization was highest in the cold, so that had me confused. But I believe he was in more in the Northern Midwest, so maybe he was referring to less than 50 degree soil temps. I found a handy chart from NC State that shows the correlation between soil temperature and what your grass is doing during that period. For cool season grasses, it shows this: 60-75F Optimum temperature for shoot growth. 50-65F Optimum temperature for root growth. 40F Shoot growth ceases. 33F Root growth ceases. 20F Low temperature kill possible if temperature subsequently drops rapidly below 20F So based off this, I'm assuming late fall applications when the soil temperatures are below 60, fertilizers are for pushing root growth and for the plant to store sugar over the winter so they can come out of hibernation in the spring easier. I think of it like a bear storing carbs for the winter. What ground temperatures are you thinking about when to switch to AMS from Urea for a synthetic nitrogen source?

@MikeVinKC I typically don’t apply straight AMS. Obviously most of the fertilizer I use has some in it. Only time I apply something with the majority of it being AMS or Nitrate is either very early spring which for me would be when soil temps are getting around 45 to 50 degrees or the fall which is getting very close now. I just don’t advise DIY folks to apply it especially a sprayable AMS. One because most DIY folks spray at a very low volume and 2 most aren’t dialed in with their calibration. With that said if your totally dialed in and spraying at a higher water volume and know how to figure the amounts then I’m ok. I typically don’t spray anymore than .10 to .15 pounds of N with anything simple because I feel like smaller more frequent amounts are easier to control growth rates and such. You can always add it but you can’t take it away. My best advice is to apply a slow release while soil temps are still 60s in the fall and then when it starts to cool down you can start adding in more of a fast release. Quick release fertilizer doesn’t last but typically 4 to 6 weeks a good slow release can last 3 months. As you mentioned the plant takes up and stores it over winter. Obviously you want get the response from a slow release as you would with a quick release this is why folks want the quick release but it also comes with a lot of lush fast growth in warmer temps which leads to problems. I run some quick release coming out of winter and then later in the fall like mid to late October and now but all the liquid applications I do in the spring are with a 50% slow release liquid. I still get a response but it also helps hold on some until the next app. I spray .10 pounds of N every 2 weeks basically from my first application until overseed. First 2 apps are quick then once soil temps come up mid 50s and up I start the 50% slow. That’s what I have been doing and just reverse those temps come fall once soil temps start dropping to 60 and below I start the quick release. This is why you can’t do lawn care exactly based on a calendar date! You have to make applications based off of your weather and as you know weather can be all over the place!

@@Primetime_Fescue Thank you for the explanation. This is the first year I'm really getting into the do it yourself mode of lawn care. I am starting to weed out the good information and the BS information. That's why I like your channel. You put out great information that is relatable to my area. I grew up in Eastern NC and other than the late winter temperatures, the climate is similar there as it is where I am now. Plus I'm growling fescue. The weather here was very dry and hot late into the fall, so overseeding was challenge this year. After I got the initial germination and second mow, I started putting down about .10 lbs of Urea nitrogen every week or two and watered it in. Ground temps were still running in the mid to upper 60s all the way until the first week of November. I was using DEF, since I have an unlimited supply through work for free. Did this for a while then put down a Sta Green 29-0-5 which is about 25 percent quick release when the soil temps dropped to the upper 50s around November 4th. We are getting into the 40 degree soil temps and wanted to get a little more Nitrogen down before we started to freeze. I am shooting for around 3 lbs in the Fall and 1 lbs come next Spring. What kind of fertilizer do you think would be best to use now? Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

Everything I sprayed with velocity last spring at my moms is back it looked dead as a hammer after 2 apps and all through the summer

@@Primetime_Fescue Yes, I remember you said the areas were large and you recommended glyphosate as the way to go. Makes sense. Here, it was a small patch within the fescue and why I thought it would be a good test.

Yea those Scott’s are 👎

I know all about the Cushman the old 3 wheeled monster 🤣🤣

@Primetime_Fescue That's what I used! I had 3 of them and 1- 4 wheel. I thoroughly enjoy your videos! I'm looking forward to seeing your next video! Blessings to you and your family

@kevinberniebarron7548 🙏

That works also but in my case it was time for an application. I have went and spot sprayed young spots with liquid fertilizer many times just as you said to catch it up. For this area it’s about half the areas lol.

It will be just hasn’t got approved yet.

Good spreader

Absolutely

Very quickly with a good rain or watering like 3 to 5 days. Remember it has to dissolve then the urea part has to covert to a usable nitrogen source.

It’s definitely a nice grass was kinda long there. Wait until next video. If you done have irrigation blowed out I wouldn’t apply it. Wait until rain and obviously it has to be watered in!

I buy up clearance granular fertilizer from Walmart at the end of the season and store it for the following season - but it sounds like you are getting an even better deal! Fertilizer has gotten so expensive.

@markhousman8447 it has that’s a fact

@@stacenrob1977 🙏

@@travisbrooks9660 probably 4 to 6 weeks is about all you will get out of this being it’s all quick release

That’s him lol

🙏

@@jerrydotcomp 🤣🤣🤣 you don’t have to give it that much lol. I was just making a point for the video but a lot of folks just barley spray it

🙏

Think I bought this at Lowe’s it’s a 1 gallon sprayer. Round up brand I’m pretty sure.

@@JasonBrown-w5z I sprayed last Tuesday

@@andrewk6702 they told me it will be available in January.

Good luck I sprayed my mom’s 3 apps with it it looked dead as a hammer and it’s back this fall. That was sprayed in the spring

@@Primetime_Fescue I got the same problem with creeping bentgrass and tenacity, it always has spots come back. Pisses me off!

@TopTierLawnCareServices luckily I haven’t had any of that YET

@@Primetime_Fescue Bentrass is very good at hiding when it's young as well, you gotta look early in the morning when there's dew and then it shows up as a gray/blue

Thank you!!

Absolutely

Yes sir need to leave it long because glyphosate requires leaf tissue. I let it sit a few days then scalp it and reseed. But you can seed directly into it glyphosate has no effect in the soil

@@Primetime_Fescue Thanks, I will try that. Didn't know you could do that.

That’s what I’m looking for sir! No use to mess around if you want it gone right?

@@Primetime_Fescue makes sense. I will have to keep this in mind for future.

@rubenharris9241 you don’t have to go to the extreme I did lol. I was just trying to make a point for a video lol. I do feel mailing an extra pass over it helps instead of just doing one swath over it.

That’s completely understandable!!

🤣🤣 thanks for the stare 🤣🤣

Will see what happens no doubt it will be a challenge!

🙏

So this is even amounts of Midnight, After midnight, and Acoustic. It’s definitely getting better. Not completely impressed with the color but it’s still very young yet.

Next year it will definitely shine like a new penny and gets better year after year 👍

🤣🤣 Primetime kbg will never happen lol. I love my fescue and I don’t have the patience to grow 30,000 sqft of kbg. I totally agree about the nitrogen. Most grasses that spread are more nitrogen hungry by nature.

I will be completely honest as of now it’s the easiest grass I’ve ever grown besides Bermuda lol. It’s a nightmare to get going but for me it’s been way less maintenance than fescue. Seems less disease prone so far and it was planted dead heat of the summer. I want keep it at .625” in the summer probably be 1 to 1.5”

🙏 it’s getting there slowly

Got a big rock going in the middle over stump that will be a focal point and do some kind of plants around it not made my mind up yet exactly

I mixed my own seed but I used 3 different cultivars. They were Acoustic, After midnight, and Midnight

It’s getting there thanks!
