Always add your Shampoo/liquid soap LAST to avoid the foam/suds
Yes
Ammonia is nitrogen to green up the grass, shampoo is used as a surfactant to cause everything in the bottle to cling to the grass, cola is sugar to feed grass, tea (don't remember), add a can of beer to digest the old grass in the lawn. Credit for ths tonic goes back to Jerry Baker, master gardner. This tonic was introduced to the lawncare world by Mr. Baker many years ago and I have been the envy of my neighbors for almost 20 years because of it.
Yes, it is a great tonic and my grass looks like a golf course! I love it!
What if you have weeds as well as the brown grass what do you do first
What kind of beer?
Nitrogen doesn’t green up a lawn. Iron does. Nitrogen feeds grass
I was just thinking about Mr. Barker’s teas he use to recommend. A long time ago I had bought his information booklets, I was thinking I wish I had them now, but here it is...🤗 thanks
I'm pretty sure I heard "drink a fifth of vodka first."
If that's what gets you going!
Good one😂
*tears*
also add beer....this is a jerry baker formula from decades ago
Beer and soap is a wonderful pre-spray to help clean off the grass and open it up.
Can we apply the mixture all year long including the hot summer weather?
@@tuocdang5106 yep,dont see why not
This guy has no freakin' clue about science at all. Don't risk using anything without knowing what you're usine.
It works well and gets results.
How To Video Channel then don’t say your breaking down the “science” of the products and not once mention that Ammonia has a high concentration of nitrogen which is what makes the grass grow like crazy
If I pour this on my router will it double my internet speed? 😂
You may not have internet if you pour it on your router.
No, put if you pour it on your cable box you'll get the premium channels for free.
I'm still laughing at this one
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe you should’ve done the cola first
It’s alright
Sprenkle yard/lawn with coffee grounds once a year. Turns dirt green.
Strange
Thank you for the video. How often can I apply this to my lawn?
You can do it once a week if you’d like. Then reduce to every couple weeks and then every month as your grass becomes nicer and nicer.
Question... What setting did you use on the spray control?
3oz
I find your explanation of what each ingredient does to be somewhat dubious.
Nice
Is this safe for pets to be around?
Yes. Let it dry before letting your pets roll on the grass though.
Molasses. Has a high mount of sugar that works better🧐
Excellent!
Thatch your lawn that would get the dead brown grass. I recommend outdoor space to mix, and PPE using liquids, but nice presentation
Yes, thatching is great to help open up the lawn.
you mean dethatch your lawn...
The cola feeds the microbes that break down thatch.
@@HowToVideoChannel . How many times do you do this in the year ?? ...even on hot months
Sugar? Seriously? Microbes will eat this before the grass even knows it's there.
Nevertheless, it works very well.
HFCS is a sugar..not real sugar but it is sugar😉 And the cola is made with HFCS which may kill bugs.
Your grass is greener because your watering it
That's not the only reason.
I will definitely be trying this lawn hack! Thank you for going step by step and getting straight to the point! Please suggest that viewers wear gloves and masks when dealing with this chemical combustion..
Hope the lawn hack works well for you! I’m glad you enjoyed the direct approach to the video!
did it work?
Im more interested in turning it brown and killing it. Not making it greener. it does that fine by itself.
Spray it with vinegar or rubbing alcohol.
That will turn it brown and kill it.
Why not just add coffee grounds?
Try it
Dude!!! I just subscribe to your channel. I can't wait to go try this method. Save me a lot of money on turf. Everything at the dollar 💵 store 👌
Awesome! Yes, it works well. Hopefully, you’ll see some great results!
Baby shampoo will help brake the bond of a hydrophobic soil
Excellent!
Thanks for the video. The function of the ammonia is not to clean the grass.. It provides lawns with nitrogen, indirectly ... Ammonium nitrate production utilizes ammonia to produce nitric acid..etc. I've used this treatment once with beer and it worked well. I think the yeast in the beer helps the microbes (unsure).
Yes, I’ve made some other videos that use beer as well. I agree that it is the yeast that helps.
Can we please share what setting sprayer should be set at. If I missed it I apologize in advance. Thanks for tip
Looks to be set at 1 1/2oz on the dial
It's 1.5
Are you adding anything else to this lawn besides this treatment? If you’re adding additional fertilizer it would be hard to tell if this treatment works alone without other treatment.
You can do whatever you like. However, this treatment is all I need.
Maybe it’s more vibrant, stronger and greener because you watered the grass?
Maybe.
This dude said 'cleans the grass!!'
HAHAHA
It’s an important part of healthy growth.
Is this pet safe and how often to apply?
Pet safe after it dries.
Apply once a month for 3 months, then once or twice each summer. If you want to continue with monthly applications it won’t hurt.
I have an Ortho Dial-N-Spray Did I miss what the setting is on the sprayer?????? * 8oz setting would empty really fast. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I usually run a 3 or 4 ounce setting. For the first application. Then a 2oz setting for follow-ups.
Check the other comments for more peoples suggestions.
That’s a Jerry Baker recipe.
It’s a good one.
How will bugs react to this solution? Will it keep them away or attract them/promote taking up residency in my yard?
The ammonia will help keep them away.
Cathy, do you know if it works on ants? Thanks.
Doesn’t look expensive. $1.00 shampoo, about $1.00 generic cola. Few bucks ammonia. Tea, not sure
Yes, it’s a very inexpensive way to maintain your lawn.
Just a fyi... most household ammonia cleaning products already have a surfactant in them. No need for the shampoo.
Nice
@@HowToVideoChannel Do I continue to water the grass as usual after adding the tonic?
@@ramah-gwilson3125 great question!
This is an Excellent Video!! I have a St. Augustine lawn will it work on my lawn??
Thank you!
It should definitely work. Let us know if your results!
Jerry Bake explains the science behind it... Ammonia is not a cleaner it is the nitrogen source ( science has proven ammonia is not a good source of nitrogen for grass). Soap breaks down the surface tension on the leaf blade and softens the soil. Sugar feeds microbial life which is the best thing on the list. Caffeine is ok but humic is a way better source to increase nutrient uptake.
Yes, and it works very well.
would this help with brown spots done by dog urine?
Yes, as long as the roots of the grass are not dead.
Through ammonia is your source of nitrogen, which is essential for plant growth
It works well
This s taken from Jerry Bakers gardening book from the 1990s
It works well
Unsweetened Ice tea doesnt have sugar??? Should it have been sweetened Ice tea???
Right. No sugar in unsweetened ice tea.
Did you say it needs to be a 20 gallon sprayer?
20 Gallon Hose End Sprayer.
Check the description for a link to one.
Used this on my lawn yesterday, and this morning, the color turned to a bluish brown. WTH happened? It's been super hot and dry here, which is why my grass is brown. I have a sprinkler system but it doesn't have good coverage right now, which is why I have brown areas and thus why I use this concoction on it.
It’s possible it is dry and brown from the heat and lack of water. Otherwise, if you sprayed it on during the heat of the day the sun could have hit the water droplets on the blades of grass and burned your grass.
You’ll probably have to water a couple of times a week during this dry spell. That way, when the new growth happens you’ll be able to keep it green and healthy before the sun scorches it.
Shot of vodka... very scientific... nice video!
Vodka can be good for plants
How To Video Channel i'm going try it out yeah! Thnks!
Hey you forgot the *➖BEER➖*
Different formula
Can you use this in flowers too ?
Of course.
A Jerry Baker formula. Started using it years ago.
Awesome!
I have a 5 gal sprayer what would you call for mixture? And how often should I spray?
I’d follow the instructions in the video and then use 1/4 of the solution in your sprayer. Save the rest for future applications.
Spray it on once a week for a month, then every other week for a month. Then once a month for two months and you should see some excellent results!
A Shot Of Vodka! Thats my kind of science
Sounds great to me!
Can you use Lipton Ice Tea with Lemon and Sugar. .? Or does it have to be unsweetened?
It would be fine to use sweetened.
Sounds like Jerry Baker lawn tonic
It works well!
Great video. I've read people use their own urine full of goodness
Yes, I have heard of that before. It provides some good acid for the soil. Wood ash is also great!
I truly want do i not know settings i need set spray
What if you have nutsedge in your lawn
It won’t harm it.
Hi would this work on grass that was burned by fertilizer
It should definitely help.
Obviously there are different formulas that work. I use 1 cup: Household ammonia, mouthwash, Dawn; 1 can of beer and 1 can non-diet soda. Mix well and add to hose-end sprayer set at ~1 oz. Many cut lawn to short, very bad during hot weather. Also proper amount (~1") and frequency (2-3/wk) of watering. Use a rain cup to determine length of time to water. Many stop and ask what I use and I freely give my formula. It works too. Thanks for the video.
Yes, there are several formulas. The key is to apply them consistently so that your grass is always getting the nutrients it needs to look the best it can!
How To Video Channel That was our error. We mowed too low & now the grass is drying out. I'm excited about this & sure hope it helps. Can't afford to replace a while lawn😒 Thanks for the video!!
I'm not a beer drinker and there are so many types - what type of beer are you using?
MONISA MONTOYA bet it’s Natural Lite!😜
When is the best time to do this at night? I live in Toronto and it’s 21* outside and do I drench the grass with this?
You sound like Jeff Goldblum. The voice made me think of him straight away!
Thanks
This is good for trees too. That's what those tree companies use basically.
Yes, it is good for all kinds of plants.
The ammonia adds nitrogen to the lawn which makes it greener.
Yes, and boy does it work well!
Ammonia and soap would both kill new seedlings.
Just a question can you mix equal parts of water and ammonia will that help the lawn just a question
yes, using the regular cola instead of diet REALLY made the difference with this recipe, dude ?
The sugars are good for your lawn.
Ammonia is instant liquid nitrogen.
The grass loves it!
What setting do you use on the sprayer?
Up to you. Usually anywhere from 1-3 ounces.
The baby shampoo acts as a surfactant.
Awesome!
all you need now is some sodium hydroxide for the perfect fullness
Yes.
so this mixture is mixed with 20 gallon of water right? because i dont have that hose sprayer end
It depends on how much you wish to apply to your lawn. A typical application ratio for this mixture is 2 ounces of solution per 1 gallon of water.
Therefore, mix up the solution to see how much liquid you have. Then divide that number by 2 to find out how many gallons you need to mix it with.
If you have 16 oz of solution. You would need 8 gallons of water.
Have you dethatched it yet?
Yes, there is even a tonic that will help the process.
@@HowToVideoChannel
What about mechanical to remove the dead grass?
Yes, that would work very well. Or you can use an iron/metal rake if you don't mind a little hard work.
I've got a couple acres, not sure how economic it wod be
Maybe around your house, but could be a lot of work to do the entire property.
Lol I put whiskey on my lawn and it comes up half cut!! 😂🤣🤣🤣😂
Nice!
Sound like a recipe for tear gas. I give you props for not spilling that shyt.
Yeah, that ammonia was a little rough.
I have pine ammonia and it’s pink. Will it work?
Should t be an issue as long as there are not a lot of extra ingredients.
Can I use Coca-Cola??
Yes, as long as it isn’t diet.
Two questions: does this recipe work on any lawn type (bahia, st. augustine, bermuda, etc.)? If the lawn is already green, will it give it a darker green?
Yes, it will work on any grass and will give it a deeper green.
Yes it does
What do you set the house end sprayer at? How many ounces per gallon? Thx
3oz
@@HowToVideoChannel Thank You
@@danielfitzgerald4089 You're welcome!
what is the best season to do this application?
Spring would probably be best. However, fall is also really good. Right after the summer heat scorches your lawn.
Is this a joke?
Not at all. The solution works really well!
What was your sprayer set on...
1.5oz
Ammonia has Nitrogen,cola has phosphorus, tea has potassium. Most fertilizers has mostly nitrogen. With this it's
(N)10/(P)10(P)/10.
Yes, and it works wonderfully!
Spot on 👏👏👏👌👌💪💪👍👍
Don't the sugar from the soda bring anthills?
Not from our experience.
Does this help with Crabgrass?
It will make everything it touches green. So it won’t kill crabgrass. Check out my other video on WeedStop for that.
How To Video Channel, when you say mix it 2 to 1, do you mean 2 oz to 1 gallon of water? I’m new to this that’s why I’m asking.
Yes, set your sprayer to spray 2 ounces of the solution for every gallon of water that passes through it.
In some cases I’ve sprayed 4:1 when the grass needed a little extra help.
How To Video Channel , thank you very much
Actually, the reason the ammonia works so well is because it has nitrogen. The chemical notation is NH3
Yes
When can you apply weed control after applying this concoction?
I’d wait a day to let it get absorbed.
If I wanted to just use ammonia and corn syrup for my fertilizer, how much would I use in a 10 gallon or 20 gallon sprayer? In other words, how much ammonia per gallon to inhibit burn? I want to fill a pull type sprayer for my large yard.
Why only ammonia and corn syrup?
I think if you put a cup of each in a 20 gallon sprayer that mixed with water on a 4 gallons water to 1 gallon mixture ratio that would work.
How To Video Channel aqueous ammonia for a shot of nitrogen and corn syrup feeds microbes.
is this safe for animals and creatures who live in the garden?
Yes
🤔🤔 for real no-way😲😲😲!!!!
Yes
Can you use on St Augustine grass
Yes
Can i use bake soda in place of ammonia...i can not find ammonia in Thailand
I wouldn’t put baking soda in there.
You can try the mixture without the ammonia. It should still help. Also, check out some of the other grass growing videos on this channel. There are formulas without ammonia.
@@HowToVideoChannel thanks for your kind answer..i try the coktail without ammonia yesterday plus 1 beer ...and today i can see already a visible progress...at this stage can i put water on the grass..at which frequency...in Thailand the weather is still hot and humid until next month. Thank you very much Giorgio
Awesome! I’m so happy to hear that the video helped you and I hope you’ll share it with many more people in your country. That way they can all start having nicer grass!
How often can this be done
Every couple weeks.
What if I get it in my gardens, bushes & trees? Will it damage other plants? Or help?
Should help them. However, you may want to test it on a few plants before spraying everything just in case.
you did not mention what setting you have the sprayer at.
Set it at either 2 or 4 ounces depending on your lawn condition.
Bravo
Thanks!
Thx
No problem
Can I use dish soap instead of shampoo?
Yes, you can.
How often should I use this on the grass
Do it twice a month for two months in the Spring. Then every other month.
Never. It's a bad idea.
A beer and liquid detergent not DAWN LIQUID DETERGENT ,JUST BASIC LIQUID DETERGENT NOT TO MUCH AMMONIA IT WILL TURN IT LIGHT GREEN,AND MIRCLE GROW TOO,THXS
Yes, beer and soap are great for grass!
I'm not a beer drinker and there are so many types - what type of beer are you using?@@HowToVideoChannel
@@monisamontoya401 it doesn't matter much what kind. Just get any inexpensive beer as long as it isn't light beer.
tHANX
How much ammonia?
They are no longer making Nestea, so it's gotten expensive! You can get the same from steeping some black tea bags in boiling water.
Thank you! Other brands of instant tea would also work if you can find them.
@@HowToVideoChannelwhat about tea bags?
Instant tea is not sold any longer.
@@KheJoh You can buy instant tea at Walmart and other grocery stores.
@@HowToVideoChannel thanks, I will check it out ...
I didn't see it in the dollar stores...
What setting did you use on your sprayer? Thanks
2:1
Can you pre-make it a d stored it?
You can. However, I suspect that the composition would change. Cola would get flat, the ingredients would settle and separate, et cetera.
What happens if you have weeds in your lawn? Will this make them grow more or kill them?
It won't kill them. You need to use Weed Stop for that. Check out my other video.
How many days a week.
For the fastest results, start with once a week. Then, after one month drop down to every other week. After one month of that, you can apply it once a month.
Dumb question but I’ll ask it anyway...Nestea unsweetened is currently unavailable...would Lipton unsweetened tea work?
Thanks for asking, yes, Lipton will work.
😆😂
What setting did you use on your hose end sprayer? Thanks
2 to 1
Do you water grass right a way or wait a couple of days
I spray the solution on right away. Then wait a couple days before adding any additional water to the grass. You want it to really soak up the solution. Therefore, it's best not to water your grass for a few days before you apply the solution as well.
