Getting ready to fertilizer and spray.....I just stopped everything to see this video!!!!
Did my pre emergent and fert today.
Love spraying 2 or 3 products at the same time. It’s a time saver. 👍
Defending the Gallon per minute haha. When I purchased my new sprayer, I used gallon per minute to estimate how long it would take to empty the 4 gallon tank(~7minutes constant spray at 40psi). This helped me get an idea of how fast i needed to walk and how many gallons of water I needed to get a uniform coverage. Then I used the jug and mixed the appropriate amount of product. Thank you for making these videos, can’t wait to get things started here in MD.
Hey Pete. You ever think about applying calcium to your soil to help loosen up the clay a bit ?
The take away here is being proactive and not reactive to controlling weeds.
BINGO
I know I have missed a lot but what happened to hybrix
Nothing wrong with HyrBrix. If you can find it local to you, you can use it instead of Protene (Pete has mentioned this in at least one post in the Facebook group). But a lot of folks can't find it locally, and it's expensive to ship. I believe Pete chose Protene for its slow release characteristics, so it feeds for a longer duration--ends up being relatively cost effective when you factor in coverage rate and duration of release. That and Protene claims a more homogenous mix of the ingredients in each prill, so a more even application. HyrBrix remains a viable (and excellent) choice, but Protene is what Pete will carry.
:) I’m have to purchase one of those sprayers it seems better to mix the liquid applications because it saves a lot of time
You are on a roll Pete. Always great videos.
I put out my pre-emergent a couple of days ago. Going to put Humic-12, Air-8, RGS, and fert this weekend!! At least Daylight Savings Time will be here soon!! Thanks, Pete!!
It is great to hear you on a wet Saturday morning in Central PA. I just add your videos to my playlist. That way I know I need to do this a few weeks from now.
You're the man Pete, Thank you for the videos. Always informative.
Good morning Pete,Dropping knowledge all week , great info as always.
You fortunate dude- Already treating the yard. Im one month out yet- can not wait!
George, good Saturday afternoon to you, 😎☕️🍺👊
Did the same to my yard on Thursday evening and got a nice shower yesterday. Felt good to be out spraying again.
Good morning Pete! Great information as always. 👊
Hey Pete....Thanks for the content!!!!! #youdaMan!!!!
Hey Pete with that spray tip does it get good coverage when used with herbicides. Like Celsius or Msm
yes we have used this set up a while now for spot spraying weeds...works like a champ
@@GCITurf Thanks Pete keep up the good work
Nice work Pete. Love your video’s. Does your spray nozzle assembly work with flowzone cyclone sprayer?
Yes sir
Do you keep the cyclone in low pressure or high pressure mode for your spraying?
@@jeremyweedman7716 I like to do it on low pressure. I feel that with high pressure, the tank empties out faster and you feel like you have to rush
@@jasonbotelho9383 @Jeremy Weedman
i cover 8K squ ft on high pressure
What kind of sprayer is that?
I saw in your email you added FlowZone sprayers. Great idea. I love my FlowZone sprayer. Things just a beast. I spray at least once a week, usually more, on my putting green. At least 250 apps on the sprayer in 3 years and it's not given me a single issue. Great product.
How long does the battery last for? Will it last to do 58,000 area of grass?
I watched this twice to be sure I didn't miss something and you're losing me.......if everything we do is based on 1k sqft/1 gal how are you getting 7500sqft out of that 4 gal sprayer?!?!? LOL
The gci nozzle buddy sprays 8 feet wide fan spray, right? Is it an air induction nozzle as well?
Does the nozzle buddy also come with the adaptor that angles the nozzles downward 45 degrees? I would like to purchase a backpack sprayer and trying to figure out what’s the best setup for my 58,000 square ft of grass to cover the fastest/easiest. Thanks!!!
When you spray do you have any overlap?
yes a little
I am jealous of all you already out there throwing down fert. My lawn is still buried under a foot of snow and there is no hope in seeing it for another month...
I just got my Strom Sprayer combo this week. Get it charged up and set up this morning. Also got the preemergent from you as well. Can't wait for warmer weather so I can start playing with the sprayer then get my fertilizer down.
Pete, maybe I missed it. What was your soil temp when you did this if you don't mind me asking.
Very informational.... love the channel!
Have always loved the videos, and I buy your products. Would love to see some more videos of your crews in action! Cheers
Good video. Enjoy your weekend! 👊
LETS GOOOOO! TIME 2 DOMINATE
Your a wealth of Knowledge Pete🙄
Getting more light everyday
How are you doing today?
pretty good sir
Keep seeing flowzone; so is that a flowzone or the older strom..my supplier sells the cyclone version but they look identical. Either way they are great sprayers and timesavers
same sprayer....
What do you do to control thatch build up.
First Aussie 😁. Great advice Pete. 😎👍👍
Good early morn T 😎👊☕️
How do I get a guide Brother Pete?
I don’t care about the lighting. I just appreciate the video I’m learning so much.
Its going on my new backpack sprayer
Hey Pete I'm looking at buying a battery powered backpack sprayer. 2 years of a hand pump backpack sprayer doing 35000 square feet is killing my arthritis. I'm looking at spending in the price range of no more then $400. Is there a battery powered backpack sprayer you prefer or recommend? Thanks for for all the advice and videos you do and give. The big League Lawn roller is great!!
Thanks pete for the GCI sticker with my order
That Greene county fertilizer is some awesome stuff.
Great video and logic Pete. I’m up north and still have some snow on the ground but man it’s great to dust off the cobwebs and start thinking lawn applications again. I wasn’t aware that you could yank mix prodiamine with the Air-8 and Humic. Have a great day, check ya later.
My local Lowes and HD always putting the stuff you would need each season on their main displayed /ales
Hey Pete, great video and thanks for sharing!
Just to add to the video, an easy way to find your yards square footage is to go onto google earth. You can simply “trace” your property's border around curves, corners etc, and it will calculate your square footage. Very handy tool.
Just threw down Yard Mastery 0-0-7 herbicide yesterday and then the rain watered it in for me. Have a blessed weekend everyone.
How did you do it? What was your pounds per thousand?
@@JM-yx1lm I have cool season turf which I keep at 3 to 4 inches of height. Using the Scott's Elite spreader I applied 3lbs. of product over 1,000 square feet.
Pete which model is your Flowzone sprayer?
Do you use the same sprayer for weed killer and fertilizer or do you have a dedicated weed killer tank?
Wake up grass!
Is that a TeeJet nozzle that allows you to spray 8’?
Pete, if you put down prodiamine when the soil temp is say 48-50 degrees, would it be any problem. I've got this thing called life, as you say, (more like a vacation) that I'm going on for two weeks and it's very much in the window of pre emergent. I'm hoping for some warmer weather, and we're definitely getting there where I'm at, but not sure if it'll hit the magic number before I head off. God bless and keep at it. I'm a big fan.
yeah. get it down before you go
@@GCITurf alrighty, thank you sir. Much appreciate.
Prodiamine label says to put down 1 gallon of water per 1k for best results. If you are running 4 gallons across 7500, that is only .53 gallons of water per 1k. I mean, you know what you are doing obviously, but I wonder why the Prodiamine label wants you to put a gallon of water per 1k down along with the Prodiamine? Matter of fact, the Certainty I just used wanted 2 gallons of water per 1k for some reason.
I have no clue why they say that. I’ve been spraying low volume for years and years with zero issues
Pete, love the videos. hoping you can help me understand the liquid fertilizer and fear of burning lawns. I see and understand you calibrations but I see some liquid fertilizer requiring 3 gals per 1000 sf application rate to avoid burning (Coron 18-3-6 for example.) The green punch seems to be not so important. Is that correct? How would someone go about putting down that heavy of an application rate? I just can’t wrap my head around that kind of an application.
I have no clue about coron because I’ve never used it. Greene lunch is safe to spray at low volume. I’ve done it many many times.
Pete, your videos have been too dark since you switched cameras...just my observation, hope it helps
It’s not the camera. It’s been late in the day when I have been filming lately. I’ll get better at doing more during the day with better light
Pete, I helped my brother, who lives in Round Rock Texas, apply a the first split app of prodiamine on his lawn. We did it before the Snow storm and soil Temps were above 50 degrees. After the snow storm the soil temps dropped into the low 40's will that have an effect on the preemergent? Should he reapply the preemergent or wait after he does his scalp on his bermuda and do the second app?
should be fine....years its showed here after a pe m app...not once did I ever re apply
@@GCITurf Thank you for answering my question.
