  • Today we're discussing GREENTRX granular fertilizer and briefly reviewing the Earthway EV-N-SPRED broadcast spreader. I decided to switch up my fertilizer of choice this year and picked up a few bags of GREENTRX from my local Ewing Irrigation and Landscape Supply Store. So far I've been very pleased with the results. I'm actually using last year's 16-1-2 analysis. The 3 numbers on a bag of fertilizer represent the Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium percentages in the bag. Those 3 macronutrients are important in maintaining a healthy lawn. GREENTRX also contains 2% iron which will give your grass a deep dark green color. The EV-N-SPRED is Earthway's answer to the Scott's residential broadcast spreaders. It is lightweight, has 3 openings in the hopper, and provides a dependable, even application.

      @@LawnInsider Get your water from SAWS? I was so worried about water restrictions that I put drip irrigation under my entire front yard of TifTuf Bermuda. Then I put in 200 gallons of water barrels and hooked up a mini spinklers system to that to supplement my irrigation in the backyard. Fun fact, Drip Irrigation has no restrictions :)

    Hey! It’s great to hear all fellow Texas lawn enthusiasts, I’m in San Antonio and have Bermuda love it. I do use Anderson pgf balance and the beginning of season then pgf complete for most of the growing season. Some liquid fertilizer also same 16-4-8 just curious do you like Anderson or what’s your go to fertilizer?

      I’m not super loyal to any particular brand or analysis. I usually try to get something that has a little iron in it, and aside from that, just try to get the biggest bang for my buck! This year I’m using GreenTRX.

    Scotts makes many spreaders. What spreader type is +10?

    • @LawnInsider
      @LawnInsider  Рік тому +1

      I think a lot of them have a standardized number system. But I think the “default” Scott’s spreader would be the EdgeGuard.

    How do you space your passes? 5-6 ft?

    • @LawnInsider
      @LawnInsider  2 роки тому

      I would say that's a good ballpark figure. I just pay attention to wherever the product landed on my last pass and adjust accordingly.

    I have th same spreader. Only complaint is that it seems to spread so wide that the fertilizer bounces off the tires and go's into my shoes.

    • @LawnInsider
      @LawnInsider  2 роки тому

      I does really chunk the fertilizer in a wide swath. Way wider than my other spreader.
