.. Doing the same approach... Applying AMS granular in small frequent amounts and alternating with 16-16-16, working out great, lawn has never been better...
I just started doing my own lawn because it never looked good with the service I had. This summer I started with dissolving urea putting down .2lbs of N every 2 weeks, but I need to boost my P and K per my soil test. If I dissolve 20-20-20 am I following the dry application rate on the bag and just cutting it in half? Should I just be doing 20-20-20 until my P and K get to where they need to be, and skip the urea for now? I have 32k sq ft so urea is cheap but I haven’t found an affordable way to boost my P and K. Even the 20-20-20 is $75 per application. (I have also applied PGR and fungicides). Thank you!
Effective irrigation systems for turf grass are expensive to install-and it is geometric. The more square feet of coverage or the more bells and whistles you add, $$$$$.
@@TurfCulture thanks for the update. Triv is the worst!! I might still try spraying some spots with that combo. I don't want to Reno but the triv is rampant. I need PoaCure to be released to the public.
I think a fifty pound bag of 21-0-0 ammonium sulphate will give you 4 light application of one tenth of a pound of nitrogen at a time. Better in my eyes would be the 25 kilo size. ( 62 pounds )
Took me a while to figure out how much product to use, but it is simple math. Divide the percentage of nitrogen in the bag into 100, and the result will be how many pounds to apply to 1000 sq. ft. to get 1 pound of nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. In the case of 20-20-20, 100/20=5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft to get 1 lb. of nitrogen over that 1000 sq. ft. If you only wanted .5 lbs. per 1000, simply cut the answer in half. If you want a quarter pound per 1000, multiply the answer, in this case 5, by .25, and you'll get 1.25 lbs per 1000 sq. ft. Hope this makes sense and helps.
I just bought a bag of spray grade AMS. I've never applied AMS to my lawn before. I might have missed it but I was hoping your video would state how much of that spray grade AMS per gallon of water. I have a 4 gallon battery power backpack sprayer that i use. Thank you for the video and information.
If you are targeting .20lbs of Nitrogen the AMS should be a 21-0-0. 21% of that bag is Nitrogen so you will want to consider the size of your lawn. For a 1/4lb of nitrogen it's roughly 16oz of AMS per thousand square feed. On a 5k sqft lawn that is 80oz or 5lbs of AMS.
This was very informative. Curious about how many gallons per minute is sprayed for your foliar applications? My lawn is 14,000 sq ft so it just seems like it would take me quite a while with my setup to commit to squirting my fert.
@@TurfCulture thanks! That was sort of the conclusion I came to as well but I’m still curious about how much time it takes you. The typical homeowner with a larger lawn will probably have to stick to granular (unless they have a lot of time on their hands).
So just to clarify, one week put down the 21-0-0 then 2 weeks later put down the 20-20-20. Wait two weeks and put down the 21-0-0. Wait 2 weeks and put down the 20-20-20 and so on. Is that correct?
Great video....question: I'm considering buying Greenway Biotech Ammonium Sulfate 21-0-0 Fertilizer Contains 21% Water Soluble Nitrogen & 24% Sulfur. It's a granular. Would you say that this is a good source of ammonium sulfate? Thanks in advance....
Would love to try the Peter’s triple 20 every other feeding but with a 10k lawn a bag of Peter’s is only 2 applications so $40 an application seems kinda expensive
@@TurfCulture Yah- -I have been finding this out the past few years. I was digging around two miniature spruce shrubs: elemental sulphur I applied three years ago is as yellow as the day I dumped it under there.

Good video.. can you tell me exactly how much urea , ammonium sulphate and triple twenty you might add as a spoon feed on a lawn of 1,000 Sq feet every 2 weeks ..and how many lbs of pure nitrogen are you putting on your lawn? Finally what amount of water are you using per 1,000 Sq ft? Thanks..

In this case, 100/20=5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. to get 1 lb. Of nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. So, if you want 0.5 lbs of nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. only use 2.5 lbs. of the product. As far as how much water, that is up to you and your sprayer. You'll need to calibrate your equipment. Add 1 gallon of plain water and spray 1000 sq. ft. You will be able to determine your walking pace to apply that one gallon to 1000 sq. ft. It is ok to use 2 gallons per 1000 sq. ft if you like. You will just need to slow your pace to apply it to 1000 sq. ft. Let me know if you need further clarification.
Hi, what r your thoughts on urea 46-0-0, up here in the north east, there is plenty on the jobs come spring time, they use it on jobs for snow melt, come spring they give it away, so I stock up,
@@TurfCultureso with the product from Lowe’s it would be about 1.2 lbs/1,000 sq ft, correct? I have the product, but haven’t applied such a low rate from my spreader and you’re answering my questions! This video was very helpful!
Don't spray when its hot out or in intense sun. 1/10 of a pound of N shouldn't burn you lawn. Also how much water where you mixing your N in? always check your label before spraying any fast acting fertilizers...Best times to spray fert is early morning or evening when the sun is low and temps are cooler..
.. Doing the same approach... Applying AMS granular in small frequent amounts and alternating with 16-16-16, working out great, lawn has never been better...
it definitely gives a much more consistent appearance and growth rather than surging when you dump 3/4 - 1lb of N of granular at a time
You know I never thought about marking the measuring jug for future apps! Thanks brother 😊👊🏾🤙🏾
Efficiency, brah.
He's not John wick
Pretty amazing that the lawn stays low like that even through a spring flush and consistent nitrogen. Win!
Bonfire is a “slow growing” fescue.
Triple 20 is so underrated. I love spraying it myself
High quality inputs for sure 🤌🏻
Thanks for coming back for a new season
You too! Thanks for watching.
Lawn looks amazing...very healthy! How do you get the dark and light stripes?
The reel mower stripes that way
Good video and explanation…thank you. You also previously did a video on an herbicide cocktail for POA. How did that turn out?

Aren’t there irrigation systems that do this? Fertigation? I seem to remember some sports field groundskeepers doing this.
Yes there are, irrigation systems can be wildly inaccurate with the coverage. Applying with a sprayer is far more accurate.

Beautiful Lawn.
Thank you!
How are the patches of Poa Trivialis doing in the back after you applied the tenacity and tzone combo? Did the triv remain killed off or come back?
I just found out I have Poa Trivialis. I'm dealing with neighbors that have every weed there is in their yards.
The triv came back, annua is gone.

What is the rates for the AMS. Just trying to figure out how big of a bag to get. I have 24k to spray.

Is 20-20-20 okay through the summer months for cool season grass?
Absolutely, the grass still needs a light feeding in the summer too.

Yes they are the same thing.
Love the sta green we produce it for Lowes. The Ammonium Sulfate that is. Pasadena, TX
I use a lot of Ammonium sulfate for Len applications, glad Lowes carries it!
Wow didn't expect that you had TTTF. Didn't realize it could be cut that low. Is this your particular blend or can all TTTF be cut that low?
Not all TTTF will like to be mowed under 2”. The newer varieties are more compact and can tolerate the lower height of cut.
Thanks for the content
Thanks for watching!
Broooo can you link me to that exact funnel? I just got the m12 spray and man I need that!
The mouth is so small 😂
This right here is a 6qt funnel that oughta do it amzn.to/42uvKRk

Is it soluble or granular?
@@TurfCulture granular

What is your target rate of Nitrogen? 1/4#?
@@TurfCulture My target rate for every 2 weeks is 1/4# but i also look at how much grass i am cutting each time i cut with is every 3-4 days
Is ammonium sulfate a substitute for urea? Is it one or the other?
Both are common nitrogen sources found in many fertilizers together.
Hi was wondering roughly the 4lbs of triple how much NPK would that give you over 3k sq ft ?
.25
Thanks 👍
Where’s the link to triple 20? Thanks

Buy it locally for 1/3 of that price.
Could I dissolve the sta green from Lowe's? I'd like to spray it instead of spreading it in granular form
Yes you can just make sure to strain it.
Is 19-19_19 granular Any good to use for the triple 20?
Yes sir, I’d say send it 👍🏻
@@TurfCulture thanks for the reply
Any local places sell the 20-20-20?
💯 check garden shops and ag stores etc.
Any concern with lowering soil PH too much over time with the AMS having 24% Sulfur?
No, it takes a long time to amend soil ph by using sulfur on its own. Adding citric acid could speed up the process.

How many pounds of ammonia sulfate do you put in a 25 gallon sprayer?
The answer to this question would depend on how much nitrogen you want to apply.

NMS explained this pretty thoroughly. If you don’t want to spray you could also purchase the dry product and use a rotary spreader.

Yep, same math applies to dry fert.
Forgive me but I don’t know why I bother asking questions here when you don’t answer them..
Do u get stripes when spraying
No, the stripes are from mowing in patterns.
How many ibs with the sta green 20.5-0-0 pur 1000sqf thanks i have 3000 sqf
I have Bermuda
How much nitrogen do you want to apply?
What would you recommend
If you applied the granular ammonia sulphate with malorginite would that cause any problems?
You really don’t need both products, ammonium sulfate is the better bang for your buck.
Hi, what r your thoughts on urea 46-0-0, up here in the north east, there is plenty on the jobs come spring time, they use it on jobs for snow melt, come spring they give it away, so I stock up,

Can you spoon feed Bermuda
Absolutely
Quick question, the ammonia sulfate from lowes, how often and how much applied?
You’re applying the AMS and 20-20-20 once per month. Apply 20-20-20 and then in two weeks apply the AMS, quarter pound of nitrogen each time.
