  • In this video I show a little lawn sauce concoction that I am using on my lawn throughout the summer to keep it vigorous and thriving. During the summer months I don't like to fertilize because I don't like to push top growth while the grass is stressing out, but I like to put some things on it that will help continue to strengthen the roots and help us hold onto our green color.
    If you have never used liquid products like this, they are lots of fun to use and things such as the humid acid are great ways to get used to spraying liquids before you use a liquid fertilizer because you're not going to over apply and damage your lawn, like you could with a liquid fertilizer.
    My lawn has been through a lot of struggles this year, first with the brown patch, then me purposefully letting it dry out and struggle that way after all the rain we had. This will help nurse it back to health as I look forward to all the action that this fall will bring. Stay tuned.

    The 700 green effect can be purchased either through the lawn care nut or GCI turf services
    I put a * next to the products I used. Any of the other options would also work great. The super thrive will last a very long time if used at label rate. The liquid humid acid should also last a while.

      Haha that would be funny! But the way their lawn is it is flat in that spot and slanted the rest of it so it scalps right there, it's weird. I should take credit though that's funny

      I haven't used too many of them. I honestly think they're probably about the same except they are more expensive per gallon. The only advantage is that you can buy individual gallons and dont have to buy a 4 pack like you do with the next products

    I'm interested in trying Super Thrive this year(I'm already a consistent summer user of humic acid and iron). But I only use the Ortho that holds a quarter gallon of liquid. Should I just do a quarter teaspoon per a quarter gallon every 1k sq ft and will that work?

    • @TheLawnWhisperer
      @TheLawnWhisperer  5 років тому +1

      From everything I've read the liquid humic acid is more readily available for the grass and gets down into the soil quicker and easier. I would say if you are more comfortable with granular that would be fine. The liquid is also much cheaper per application

    what are you cutting your lawn @ now? You were doing the 4 inches before you got the brown patch I think then you brought it down to dry out etc. but did you raise it back up? And will you have to do a lot of reseeding this fall? Also do you core Aerate in Fall or spring? I do both but prefer spring, Poa germinates in Fall so last yr It spread the seeds all over and had to re sod and rip out the pieces of Poa, Big pain the ass! going to put a post emergent down in Sept for the Poa I still have a little..

    • @TheLawnWhisperer
      @TheLawnWhisperer  5 років тому +1

      I am cutting at 3.25 right now. I just prefer how clean the cut is. I prefer to aerate in the fall. I haven't had to deal with poa yet and I think the best my lawn looks all year is about 2 weeks on after aerating. I will reseed some but for the most part I'm doing well!

  • @TommyTester
    @TommyTester 5 років тому

    Be skeptical. Humic acid is a highly pulverized solid, mined like coal. It does not dissolve. They mix it with water at the factory where in time it all settles to the bottom of the jug. The only way it gets broken down is by microbes and bacteria in the soil, much of which got killed by the fungicides and insecticides we just applied recently, and by the chlorine we saturate our soils with using city water. IMO, it's a bit of a scam - with suppliers telling us what we want to hear and laughing at us when we believe solid material, the size of a grape, crushed and made into 5 ounces of fluid concentrate and spread over 1000 sq. ft., is actually going to have an effect on soil and plant health. Laughing all the way to the bank. Seems smarter to use Milo - 13 POUNDS of dead microorganisms per 1000 that provides easier to digest food for the soil's microorganisms to help them survive and multiply.
