My pleasure, friend!

ammonium sulfate dissolves quite readily using cold water. hot water is not necessary unless you’re adding something else!

thanks and will do, RD!

you can get more tips 3 times a week at the Alley...Start time 0515am...See ya there RD

Why not? They are just sunglasses.

Never take me seriously 😂

since the options for nurse tank volume and sprayer volume are many, your question cannot be answered without more specificity. no matter the combination, you’ll need to comply with product labeling.

yes, harm will be done to any grass type other than bermuda and zoysia grasses!!

glad to be of help!

where’s the block button? 😂

brown is the new green

thanks, RD!

@los714....No, didn't work for me!

thanks, i now use specticle flo and rotate MOA

My pleasure!!

yes, label states use surfactant for maximum performance

@whitneyrowe8985 yes, I do! also, i’m getting into the business of treating lawns as well! if interested, you may reach me for that service at lawnenvysc@gmail.com 👍

@fairwaybermudalawn appreciate the compliment! i have fun with it 👍

glad to be of service, RD!

😂😂😂

thanks!

well it depends on what the soil tests say but this season i’m spraying ammonium sulfate. next year it will likely be urea only. very basic (and inexpensive) stuff!

glad to be of service 👍

no.. that’s definitely poa! this was filmed in february. goose grass is a summer annual.

thanks for watching!

glad you liked it 👍

that’s a reel mower. it is quite old. it is labeled as a Craftsman but was (and still is) made by McClane

i’m using sprayable ammonium sulfate (AMS which is 21-0-0 with 24% sulphur. my soil had sufficient levels of P and K but was a tad low on Sulphur.

the blocks miss the 🥑!! 😂

thank you mr jones!

yep, i prefer native apps versus 3rd party so I thought I would share! Upstate South Carolina for me!

interesting. no adverse effects that I have seen but I usually use low rates of nitrogen. the warning may be for ferts with high %N.

it was just ok. i verticut twice (once in may and a second time in august). the grass was still too thick in the end and the mower started floating on top again. i am going to reduce my inputs (nitrogen and water) to see what that does. this year, i verticut + scalped at green up. so far i am very pleased! hope to have everything dialed in this year 🤞

@Thomas' Turf Tips im having the same issue. For two years in a row now. I put a metric ton of high nitrogen fertilizer and water the hell out of the grass and by August I am fighting my reelmower just to cut it. I don't want to scalp because it's 110 degrees outside in se new mexico, and I would die trying. I watched the howtowithdoc vid about verticutting and he says it's the answer, but who knows.

i don’t think verticutting is the answer. i put down 2lbs N/1000 last year and will be reducing it to 0.75 this year. Also, the water will be dialed back to 75% of what it was last year. And, finally, I’ll be cutting back cutting frequency to 1x/week. All of things I am getting from the Greendoc whom I have a lot of respect for…a real pro!

Hi! Yes, I remember you! Go ahead and mow to remove some of the dead grass. You can then fertilize when the grass growth rate starts to pick up 👍

Greenville area

@@thomasturftips1427 I’m in Columbia. Nice to see the Carolina lawns on CZcams.

thank you!

Yes, I scalp in the Spring and this year I used the Sunjoe verticutter attachment to help with the dethatching. If you have a mature lawn, try dialing back the N this year. I am planning on dialing mine back to just 1lb of N this season for the same reason as you (I was getting overworked with cutting). If my plan is successful, I hope not to have to verticut again this season 🤞

No, not all my yard is the GCI alpha elite…only a portion of my back yard which is a mix of hybrid and common. My front yard is the showpiece with Tifway 419. I am pleased with the the GCI bermuda. It filled in nicely but is not the quality of the 419. I may try to overseed my common bermuda with the GCI seed as it is definitely a better turf than common. Hope this helps 👍

that there machine is one of a kind! 😂

thank you @definitiveenergy1878! not sure where in CO you have moved to but, taking Boulder, CO as an example, soil temps approach 55F in late April so it looks like you would need to apply pre-emergent in early April. Although, I believe weed pressure is much less in this area so pre-emergent may not be necessary. John Perry @lawncology (based out of Utah) mentioned this in a recent video he posted.

@@thomasturftips1427 Thank you Tom! I appreciate your channel and hope it continues to thrive going into the spring and summer. Cheers!

The Negate label requires that you mix the entire bottle (1.5oz). That will treat 1 acre. This is one of the problems is see for homeowners using Negate. 1 acre is much larger than the average property. You could always share with a neighbor using a nurse tank How to Use a Nurse Tank in Herbicide Applications czcams.com/video/-lopQJ8H58w/video.html

@@thomasturftips1427 yeah, I planned on sharing with a neighbor. At the end of the day it's still cheaper than using a service.

@@thomasturftips1427 I plan on mixing the container in 1 gallon of water, then filling my 4 gallon tank to do my lawn and neighbors. The question is, how much of the mixed nagate should I put into the 4 gallon sprayer?

@@coachjedijason mix the negate, the whole bottle with a gallon of water. That will create your suspended concentrate. Take 3 oz out of the suspension and add it to 1 gallon of water per 1,000 square feet. You can spot spray with it or if you plan on doing a blanket application the 1.5 oz bottle will do a acre. But spray it at 3oz per gallon per 1,000 square feet. Most sprayers spray 1 gal per 1,000 but calibrate your sprayer to be 100% certain. Hope this helps.

i source most herbicides from www.domyown.com/

gotta get my workout in somehow 😂

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, per the label you are to mix the entire contents (1.5 dry oz) at once (because it is a non-homogenous mixture). I chose to mix it in a 1 gallon (128 liq oz) nurse tank. So, per the label, it is 1.5 dry oz per acre and, when placed in a one gallon nurse tank, you would apply 2.9 liq oz of the nurse mixture per 1000ft^2. The reason I did not blanket spray was that I did not have a widespread poa infestation...just some patches here and there. Hope this helps!

I still have winter ryegrass we’ll it affect the grass if applies

you can dethatch anytime during the growing season

wow… thanks for the kind words! you’re definitely dealing with a totally different climate and, of course, grass type but i hope some things translate for you! you might want to check out Lawn Rebel. He’s out of Utah and is much more entertaining than i am capable of!

@@thomasturftips1427 Thanks, Thomas. I will look him up. Carry on with your bad self!

thank you!

thank you, RD!!

you’re so kind!
