I love UA-cam Premium as well. Can you share a couple channels you enjoy? Love to check out some of new awesome content. Thnx for what you do!
How does it compare to Earth Works 822? Also if you only could buy one of the other which product would you buy?
I was really hesitant about this premium thing. I felt it maybe another UA-cam trying to bypass content creators. If you vouch for it I will go ahead and get it.
@@ahmadghosheh3104 good to see you Ahmad! You will love it! Also we as creators still get ad revenue from premium subscribers 👍 it comes from the “premium” fund
That is all I have been using this year along with DEF and the lawn has never looked better. Cheap and effective and no more of all the other unnecessary products that I have used in the past.
Awesome combo Kieth!
What’s DEF? I’m sorry just trying to get into lawn care so I’m new to all this, but I’m also trying to the cheapest but most effective route
@@parksnrecsdetailingDEF fluid that you use in diesel trucks. You can apply to your lawn 16oz per 1 gallon of water. DEF fluid is urea
@@parksnrecsdetailingdiesel exhaust fluid, princess cuts did a video on it…. It does wonders for your lawn
If you live near a Rural King, you can get a 51lb bag of sprayable 20-0-0 for $16. Be careful when spraying AMS. Make sure you can water it in very quickly or only spoonfeed it. This fertilizer is only good if you want to lower pH. If you already have acidic soil, then you shouldn't use this. The primary reason it greened up George's lawn better than Urea in the other video was probably because of the sulfur, not the Nitrogen, because he has high pH soil. So if you already have high Sulfur and/or low pH soil, stick with Urea.
thanks for sharing, i agree!
I started using Sta-Green last year after your first video about it and my yard came roaring back to life. I had neighbors asking what i was using, and our mailman said i had the nicest yard in town. I'll definitely try this new product.
That’s great to hear my friend!
Thanks for sharing 😃
I used this last fall for nitrogen blitz, lawn has never looked better.
Great to hear!
I'm going to Lowe's right now dude thank you
you got it dude!
Congrats on 100K bro!
Thanks dude!
Fertilizers like this make you really think on whether you need to be spending extra on timed release fertilizers from Lesco or Andersons or Country Club. I noticed that those brands are starting to do what Scotts has been doing and basically cramming more products into the single 40 pound bag, making the over bag less effective unless you are spreading heavier.
i agree
Using for the past 2 years with FANTASTIC results!! at a very good price, thanks for your advice
Great to hear Bill! Thanks for sharing!
Same here. Last year it was labeled 20.5-0-0.
I’ve used ammonium sulfate from farm stores rather than fertilizer from big box stores for years because it’s cheap and effective. Our soil is alkaline so can’t comment on its use in acidic soil other than to say its had no measurable impact on my soil pH.
Thanks for sharing
Been using Ammonium sulfate on my trees for about 5 years. All the acid loving trees love it.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
@MrSummerbreeze01 Ammonia Sulfate fertilizer is good at lowering PH ? Mine is at 7.8 and I did a app of MAG-I-Plus to lower my PH 3 Months ago.
@@catherineagarcia7964 Yes it gradually lowers pH.. 7.8 is very high for almost any tree except Willow, Cottonwood,Ash, Elm
My biggest complaint about the Sta Green fert is the prill size. The prills are so large that is wont allow my scotts rotary spreader to always close properly on a lower spread rate setting as they tend to jam the closing mech. Smaller prill size please!
I agree they are on the larger side, however they are def smaller than the high yield AMS
Sta-Green + RGS has been a solid combo for me this year. During Summer I've been using their 10-10-10
sounds like a sweet combo!
just threw down the 10 10 10 hope it works
@@jasonsteigleman260 🤞
Love sta green products! I quit buying all the fancy online stuff and went exclusively to sta green. Readily available, cheaper and honestly seeing better results
They are great! 💯
I'm damn near at the end of trying with my lawn. I've been trying to get it looking good for three years. It looked ok during the spring and about a month ago I think I have more weeds than grass.
Your in the right place to fix it 😃
I'm using the performance max version this year. The lawn looks great and the micronutrients help. Only problem is that it reall sucks up the humidity in the bag unless it's sealed well.
Scotts lawn food has the same problem, it has very fine absorbent prills and clumps easily but is otherwise an amazing fertilizer
Sta Green is my 2nd favorite brand , Lesco from Site One is my favorite for best bang for buck
Thanks for sharing!
Tested out the 22-0-4 + 2% iron last week. Absolutely amazing. Going to N blitz with it this year and see how things shake out. Small % is slow release too which I kind of like.
Great to hear!
AS is actually sold in Home Depot under the name TCS Elegant Life. 20-0-0. I haven't been using DEF b/c it's been so hot and dry in Denver. Keep up the good work George.
Thanks Matt! And appreciate the heads up!
I’d only get UA-cam Premium because this guy has the best vibe
Hey I appreciate that my guy!
You will love it btw, it’s awesome 😎
Thanks for posting this one! I don't even have a Lowe's near me anymore. This stuff does look solid.
No problem dude!
Same here George, the whole house is on UA-cam right now. Going into the fall and next summer I’m gonna try the Sta Green program. I’ll just stick to that one brand and see how my lawn loves or hates it 😂
Haha your lawn will love it!
I like the 1-1-1 from StaGreen too, glad this is finally catching on!
It’s good stuff!
Love it,George! I just put some Sta-Green Fert down this past weekend. I use it often. Love your content
Thanks Tonya! Appreciate you ❤️
I used this stuff this year with great results
Great to hear Unc!
George, love ya man, keep making videos, been watching for years.
Thanks man! Appreciate the long time support!
Hi George,
A big fan of your channel. You turned me on to Sta Green fertilizer and my lawn is loving it. Haven’t tried the 20-0-0. I’m in NY state. Do you suggest using the 20-0-0 now in early September or using the 16-0-10?
Thanks Vera! Once it cools down I recommend switching to the 20-0-0. Its works excellent in cooler weather 👍
The 16-0-10 is better in warmer weather as the heat breaks down the organic materials more efficiently
I'm scared to death because it's closing in on my 6 or 7th attempt to re-grow my lawn since last year. I can't even get into how much time, money and brutal hard work I've done to try my hardest to get my yard looking like anything but the abandoned lot it looked like. I've done everything by the book, I used the supposed best products and my yard looks utterly heartbreaking!!! I used Jonathan Green Black-Beauty Ultra seeds and lemme tell ya, I wouldn't recommend it because a large percentage of the seeds didn't even germinate and most of what did grow was immediately fried as soon as the summer came this year!!! My God, some grass on the side of highways that nobody even cares for looks incredibly better than my yard😢
Great video george! I've used the 16-0-10 from lowes twice this year and the green it has provided is fantastic! I need to give this a try as I'm due for my next feeding
Thanks Andy! They have some good stuff! 👍
It's crazy how cheap Ammonium Sulfate is. I found a local source for liquid apps, and at a rate of 0.44 lb N, it's only 66 cents per 1k sq ft. Most other fertilizers would be ~$3 per 1k at this rate.
Agreed!
It’s been out since the spring. Love it!
Heyooo where u been at man?!
Thanks, George Anough great video. you're always saving us money!! This is a premium channel for sure
Thanks Tom! Affordable products are important these days lol
Lots of things to say here. I've had GREAT results with AMS. I buy mine at the local feed store because of the service and prices (more people should do this!), but the $25 Lowe's price sounds great. You didn't mention that it is WATER SOLUABLE, which is huge. Use the rule of FOUR: mix 4 lbs. in 4 gallons and spray it on AT LEAST 4 k ft2, and you're good to go. It's not an all-purpose fert; you need to be doing other things too -- I substitute a much more expensive water-soluable 20-20-20 (also from feed store) once in a while, esp. when putting down seed. Cheaper than DEF. Watching UA-cam without Premium is painful; get the subscription, drop Spotify.
Great tips my friend!
We are actually planning on doing a video on spray grade ams in the near future 😃
And totally agree about UA-cam premium, I can’t imagine watching UA-cam without it 😂
the video and product you mention at the end, "Sta Green Natural Base Fertilizer" is no longer sold at lowes per their website.
@@dereks3207 it’s labeled different now Slow Release 20-lb 4000-sq ft 16-0-10 Natural All-purpose Fertilizer www.lowes.com/pd/Sta-Green-Slow-Release-20-lb-4000-sq-ft-16-0-10-Natural-All-purpose-Fertilizer/5013683815
George, would you recommend this as a fertilizer to use with an overseed in the fall? Making my plans now. Thanks for the channel it’s nice to have a local guy who experiences the same crazy Chicago weather giving me directions.
Definitely! This stuff rocks
I’m definitely picking up a few bags. Thanks for the video!
sweet! and no problem!
I was looking for something like that 👍 You did a really good job on this video
Awesome! And thanks so much!
Hmmmm. The price is right. I might have to try this. Thanks
Hope you like it!
I just bought the Walmart Brand fertilizer. I think it’s natures best. I’ll keep you posted in how it does
heard good things about the walmart fert, keep us updated!
George is all of us. Great vid, brother.
Thanks Vic! you the man!
Good vid man. I have some sta green here at the house and I’ve been contemplating using it. It’s just my grass is a bit dormant right now and I’m not sure 👀
Thanks dude! Just hold off for now and once things cool down, throw it down
Huge prills, I found the cheapest small prills is scotts winter guard. I think its 32-0-10. I can do light coats in summer. I cant with those huge particles. I think its a great choice if you apply once a month and not in summer
Prills are definitely on the larger side but they are a lot smaller than the hi yield ams I was used to using
My kinda price george! 💰will definetly give it a try! I’ve seen it and been wondering about it. Thanks for the review🤙🏽🤙🏽
no problem my friend! thanks for stopping by!
Always great info thanks again brother
Thanks Allen!
I don't see this fertilizer at Lowes in FL.
Really that’s interesting..
Great video George, the lawn is looking great!
Thanks Justin! Good to see you man
Nice find…….hard to find around here. My local Agway said they can’t sell it anymore since 9/11
Thanks!
I’m curious how this compares to the replenish fertilizer you reviewed and the sta green organic fertilizer as well
this is 100% fast release nitorgen so you will get an ultra fast pop of green
Replenish is half fast and half slow with added organic material, same will the sta green natural base fertilizer
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thank you for the response
I like the 10-10-10 at Lowes from the same company.
@@rickywhisenhunt4582 awesome!
Sweet video George!
Can you use a Drop Spreader to Top Dress ? 😁 ~ Not a newer plastic one BUT and older all metal construction
Will not work
My lawn is acidic so I am hesitant to use AS as a source of N
Yes I would use a urea based fertilizer instead
Would you choose this Sta Green or the Earthworks Replenish? I'd like to move away from the synthetics and toward organics. I've had a thatch problem and if I'm correct, the synthetics tend to increase thatch, whereas an organic like the Replenish has microbes that work on reducing thatch. Thoughts? Thanks in advance...
@@joemarchand8313 I would choose this for fall because it’s fast acting and we want it to fully work before the end of the season and I would use earthworks the rest of the tear
Love your channel! What do you think of the Sta-Green Performance Max 30-0-3? Is it worth the extra cost (double) for the 6% iron, micro/macro nutrients, humic, and sea kelp? Also claims to last 6 months, but not sure how that can be.
Thanks! We love all the sta green products 👍
How often should I apply this to my lawn? I’m in the Chicago land suburbs as well.
Hey neighbor! Once per month at full date or twice per month at half rate
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks much!! I look forward to seeing your content!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare for how many months? Year round?
would this be a good option as a start fert for overseed?
i would not use a nitrogen fertilizer when overseeding as it can push too much top growth in your existing grass which can out compete your seedlings
This is awesome. What should I set my scott’s elite spreader to at 2lbs per 1000sqft? The bag doesn’t give setting suggestions.
thanks! i would set it to the lowest setting you can that actual product comes out. Then walk your lawn multiple times until the hopper is emptied
Will do. Thanks!
Getting some today ❤
Sweet! Let us know how you like it
Sta green is super hard to find but it’s legit.
At princess cut lawn. Have you tried Lawn Synergy?
Thanks for another excellent video George! Quick question ... its August 11 and I live in Northeast PA and have a large tall fescue lawn. The summer heat seems to be fading and we have had a good amount of rain the past few weeks and the lawn is starting to recover. Would you suggest I hit it with anything as it is coming out of the summer time blues? I have used the StaGreen with humic at your suggestion and really liked it, so I am interest in your opinion as to what I should use next and when I should apply it. What NPK is best right now?Thanks!!!
Thanks Bob! Either one of those sta green fertilizers will help your lawn recover and help jump start your lawn for the fall 👍
Thanks George!!!
Thanks for posting this vid quick question can I use this I just put some Milorganite like 2 weeks ago would this be ok I was going to cut today and was going to throw some more Milorganite but u think this would be better for me? Also what else will help boost my lawn I wish I could send u pics of my yard so u can see how green it is and what else I can do to it thanks for all the help buddy 👍👍 also u think i could add some ironite to it as well?
how much milorganite did you apply?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I used like 17oz give or take and then 2 days later I used some blue def nitrogen on a backpack sprayer mixed with 2 1/2 gallons of water and I believe 10oz of blue def u think I should try this sta green now or just cut and re do milorganite?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare so u think Ill be alright using this sta green anything else u think I can use to make my yard even better it's one of the best on the blocks let me know thanks brother
@@chatobalencian1504If your lawn is already looking good there are two things I would do. 1. Stop using the Milorganite. It's a waste of money. 2. Don't use both DEF and Sta-Green at the same time. I have been using the 20-0-0 once a month Since April as my granular application and then use DEF as a liquid application for July and August. Will use Sta-Green again for September and October. Here on LI and a cool season lawn KBG that is all that is needed.
@@Striperman well thank you to be very honest I didn't see any big results with the Milorganite I guess it is a very very slow acting fertilizer I might just try the stay green and this month and next and then October blue def again hopefully I will see an improvement with this and like I said I do have the greenest grass on block because nobody else on this block waters there's they keep is scalped and they're all yellow so by no means did I mean I'm dark dark green just nice solid light green anything else I can add to help it out? Besides the sta green
I'm going to try it out...
Awesome! Let us know how u like it!
Wish this could be my go to fertilizer. Ph is low at 6.0
Good morning Grace, what is your favorite fertilizer?
Add some gypsum and bring it up then.
Love your vids….can you save my lawn? Lol
Thanks! Your in the right place, keep watching and I promise you’ll have the best lawn on the block soon 🫡
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks man. As a side question, have you used the stagreen seed? Do you think it’s good bang for the buck? I didn’t buy any but saw it has a lot of random material other than actual seed
Does it matter to put fertilizer before or after mowing?
anytime is fine, i usually do it after and then water it in
Assume this be a good product to apply as a spray with iron as well?
Yes sir 👍
Looked on the Lowe's Website two weeks ago and it was "unavailable" but I put a notice to let me know when it would be back in stock. Today I couldn't find it on Lowe's website at all! ???
Never mind...I found it!
👍
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Unfortunately, only select stores carry it, and none near me. Seems to be stocked primarily in rural Lowe's locations. I'll keep trying!
We're getting into the fall now so many lawns will be going dormant before long, at least my warm season grass (Bermuda) will, so isn't it better to get a more 'balanced' fertilizer like 10-10-10 to encourage root development for the winter sleep?
I just threw some fall reseeding down and 10-10-10, see how it works
Have you done a soil test?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare You've got me there: I haven't. I suppose it's a good idea because it will let me know if the soil is deficient in any nutrients. However, I have been fertilizing my lawn 'lightly but frequently': I've been putting down 10 lbs of Stagreen All Purpose fertilizer (13-13-13) on my 3,300 sq ft lawn every month; and so far it isn't looking bad. For the fall I was thinking of continuing along the same lines.
Jist getting into my lawn...does this product replace Melorganite? Thanks
hi! no these are 2 totally different ferts. Milorganite is organic treated sewage and is very slow acting. This fertilizer is fully synthetic but will green up your lawn faster than anything else on the market
Lowe's doesn't seem to be selling that down here in Central, FL.
Not available here in South Eastern Mi. Either 🥲
Is safe for kids and pets
you shoudl water in the fertilizer and let it fully dry before anyone enters the yard barefoot
Off topic question, what brand of leveling rake was your preference? I watched the video you did on it but can't recall.
Hi! Our top pick is the R & R products leveling rake
Keep the great videos coming! Are your ready for some football? Go BILLS
Thanks boss! And yes sir!
Bear down! 🐻
You do realize that you could get urea lawn fertilizer which is 46-0-0 at many local stores for less money, and it's got over double the content of nitrogen, which is what gives you that instant green?
I’ve tested both against each other. Ammonium sulfate delivered us a much deeper green lawn
I need ur advice please. My lawn needs to be fertilized, reseeded, and get rid of all weeds, but not sure which one to do first. Amazon doesn’t sell mesotriane to our area.
get rid of the weeds first as there will be a 2 - 3 week seeding window
Thank you for your feedback. Appreciate it.
What if I live in Los Angeles California, what kind of pH would my grass normally have and what combo(seed/fertilizer) would you recommend just starting off? Barely getting lawn care so all this is new to me
Do you happen to know what type of grass you have now?
Nitrogen only. Just makes things green. Won’t promote root growth, so your lawn doesn’t improve.
Nitrogen drives the bus
George, can it be mixed in water for a foliar feed?
Yes sir 👍
What spreader setting did you use with your Scott’s edge guard?
i would set it to the lowest setting you can that actual product comes out. Then walk your lawn multiple times until the hopper is emptied
does your Lowes still sell the stay green natural fert 2 in 1 you mentioned? mine says no longer sold.
Yes they still have it, it’s in a different color bag now
Where are you finding this in Chicagoland without paying a 79$ shipping fee? Would love to try it
@@kellyouyang7021 hi Kelly, we bought it from the Lowe’s in Schererville IN
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks for the quick response!
Just bought today and can’t wait to lay it down! But I can’t find the spreader settings for this. Any help? I’ve got a Scott’s Edge Guard rotary spreader
Awesome! Let us know how you like it 😃
I would set the spreader to the lowest possible setting that still allows it to disperse. Than go over your lawn multiple times evenly until the hopper is emptied
there are some other options on sta green products such as 13 13 13. is 20-0-0 the best for general purpose?
they are all good but this one is the fastest acting
How much water are you putting down after an application?
i watered for about 15 min after application but be sure your lawn is getting at least a total of 1in of water per week if you want it to stay green
Would you recommend the liquid version as well?
Good question, have not tried them yet but I’ve heard good things 👍
Maybe next season we’ll try them out
If the AMS is fast acting and not extended would a follow up application be sooner than expected
Yes 👍
What is the best we control for Saint Augustine in north east Florida
What type of weeds?
So here in eastern Massachusetts temps are in the high 70 s mid 80 s , is it ok to put some down?
As long as you’re watering your lawn… yes 👍
Did you water this fertilizer in or have a rain soon after or can you let it go to work on its own ? Thanks
Yes I watered it in for 15 min
I would definitely recommend it
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I had maybe 15 minutes of mild rain with more coming hopefully Saturday & Sunday. I don't want to burn the grass but will water it in if I have to (trying to save on water rates). Put it down with timing of a 'predicted' 1 " of rain over 3 days. lol
@@Wildpony98 you should be good 👍
Man…the Lowe’s where I am in central FL doesn’t have any of the cool products you show :(
Sorry about that!
Thank you
No problem!
I have a few areas of fresh sod, been down and I am keeping it watered and seems to be doing well. My question is can I use this Sta Green fertilizer on my new sod?
I would focus on watering now and then apply a 10-10-10 fertilizer in fall
@@PrincessCutLawnCare awesome thank you!
Can this be dissolved and sprayed to ???
Great question, yes it can however I would use “spray grade” ams as it’s much easier to dissolve. You can buy it at your local feed store
How does this work with iron? I live in Champaign IL area.
Great combo 👍
Is there a time of year you recommend application?
Any time during the growing season 👍
When is the best time to apply this during the summer?
before a good rain
Is this available for in store purchase? The Lowe's link only has delivery as an option for me.
did you check the stores near you?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Not yet, but funny thing is I live in your area near Plainfield and Naperville, so if you have seen it in the stores then I should be able to find it as well, right?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Looks like one needs to spend $80 in shipping to receive these.

Hi Princess Cut Lawn Care. I just watched your rye overseeding video from 2 years ago. How is it doing now?
Great! You plan on seeding rye?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I want to but I'm scared of everything I heard about it. Another lawn vlogger told me to expect dead spots of rye in next season. I live in Huntley, IL. Sometimes gets really cold here. We had the polar vortex few years ago, twice, -50F. But normal winter here goes down to -20F but not a lot. What do you think? Did some areas of your rye lawn die?
@@neilfpv hey we’re neighbors! lol
Yes it’s true rye is very finicky however we never have issues coming out of the winter. Ours always struggles in the summer especially on the blvd strip next to the street. Rye is really nice but if you want a more resilient grass perhaps look into some tall fescue. It does really well in the Chicago area
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Currently on TTTF(SS1000, 3 years old now). It's very drought tolerant but I'm missing the beauty of my kentucky bluegrass. Thanks for the heads up about the rye.
