- This video I put 5 products to the test, the top 5 products people all over the web claim to give their lawn a dark green color. Well its time to test out all those products and crown only 1 champion.
For my backyard I put store bought products to the test Ironite VS Milogranite. The battle of the Nites! who really claims top prize!?
For my Front yard I put Yard Mastery Double Dark Granular Fertilizer VS a Liquid Iron Product VS a Secret Sauce Product by the master himself Rey (Greendoc). Which one prevails!? Time Stamps below where you can pause the video for color difference caught on camera.
I will only release Green Docs Secret Sauce if video gets 100K views 😈

😮 is all I have to say this video was crazy from start to finish. The results speak for themselves.
This was such a fun experiment 👍🏽
Great Video! I will tell you that Milo will be coming like a freight train in 2 to 3 weeks and will last the longest!!! By the time the checkered flag comes out for the final lap milo will be there for the PHOTO FINISH! But it is a hassle to deal with!💡
Appreciate the feedback glad the video was informative and good for you! Thank you 🙏🏼
Milorganite fertilizer made grass dark green..but i put it down March April may and it popped 🔥 right at may 31
Great video. My suggestion is to use both Double Dark + Ironite together as Ironite is an iron supplement as there is no nitrogen. Fueled with Double Dark’s 16% nitrogen would help the Ironite improve its results.

Nice experiment. 👍 ive tried Milo so-so results, I’ve tried Ironite liquid & granules. I personally like the liquid ironite easy spray on. But to each their own.
Sounds like a contender for a part 2 test
Secret sauce is DEFINITELY #1. I personally couldn't tell much from the street section- and the backyard was definitely the Ironite 100💯
Well im glad you were able to see a little difference. Next time I’ll use it in squared off sections for a better visual. Either way a fun experiment and milogranite still sucks 😆
The Southern Ag liquid iron won this match by far. Your neighbor was absolutely correct. I think you just had a little bias towards the special sauce, but it did not beat the liquid iron by the street.
Could have gone either way what made me decision was the amount of vote per. and the cost of application. I could get a total of maybe 4-5 apps in secret sauce in 1,000 sq ft. Liquid Iron I could only get maybe 3 apps worth for 1000 sq ft. but the color on both really did stand out more than double dark. I look at it as a whole. Thats why talked about app rates.
But I do agree with you honestly those two could have been neck and neck.
Great video Dan. It’s really to hard for me tell over video but I trust your eyes 😂😂 Interesting results.
I know :( I wish I had a better camera, I did add some time stamps in the description to the video where I found some color differences and time stamps folks can pause to see a difference from what I can tell.
@@DanTheLawnMan Oh it’s probably not your camera. I find it hard on any video, even my own. Video just doesn’t portray the reality as much as we would like.
I agree with that 💯‼

Appreciate it so much. Hopeful one day but I just enjoy sharing information and lawns. 🤜🏽🤛🏽
We need to spread the word!
thanks for taking the time to experiment for us.... hope feelin better
Thanks bro I am feeling better this week. I’m just taking it day by day because at any moment I have can another seizure and my day just gets f’ed up. But so far this week alone seizure free so far. 🙏🏼
My FEature (iron powder) might be worth a try too I hear
@@DanTheLawnMan Great news.. one day at a time... No need to push any limits... Health is most important.
Great video Dan, interesting results!
Thanks 👍 it was a fun experiment
great video and comparison Dan - hard to see on camera but I trust your guests and you - I knew it couldnt be the Milo for the win glad your feeling better !
Milo 👎🏽 🫣
Hard to tell without seeing it, but for me it's a tie between the liquid Iron and Secret Sauce.
Both you mentioned where my #1, #2 so your not wrong. Could have gone either way.
Can’t wait for the secret sauce if that video ever comes out.
Hey the way the video is heading in direction. It just might happen I never had a video get this many views in such a short time. It can be possible.
@@TheCreamRisesToTheTopLol 2 different people,the one you posted is called Super Juice from How to with Doc.
I'm here for the haircut! 😂Nah good information, Double Dark champion💯👋🏾
💯 haha
Great work my friend, hope you are feeling better an keep up the good work
Thank you, I will and I am trying my best to get better ❤️🩹
Definitely his product looked the best for dark green. Would you happen to have a link for the Product from Green Doc? Or a link to his CZcams site? Thanks!

I remember milorganite when it was around 12 to 13 dollars it’s ridiculous 😂
So ridiculous in price right now. I used it once when it was about $16. For $almost $30 now yea no thanks. Especially after seeing the results versus everything else I’ll pass on milo moving forward.
More like $7
I guarantee you that Milo will be the last man standing for sure that's why it's going up in price because everyone is turning to it for there go to fertilizer
It was $5-$6/bag when I bought my house. Nowadays I don’t even consider it. Besides, I don’t need phosphorus, so I don’t need it anyways. I only use no-phos fert.
I saw it for $10 last week
You should get a drone for your videos or pictures. Would be awesome to have it.
On my list to get or take better angles shot from above maybe the roof is something. Many have requested that if I do another video like this.
Great video. However, milorganite is not just for greening, it has additional beneficial bacteria in it that help the soil. The healthier the soil the better your lawn does health wise, not just for looking more green but reducing diseases too.
PFOA look it up that is what is in miologranite. Hense the reason you don’t see me have videos of this sort of “organic fertilizer”.
@@DanTheLawnMan nitrogen, which milorganite provides nitrogen for 8-10 weeks since it’s slow release, is what drives the bus, but it is iron that does the greening. Ironite can’t be compared to milo since ironite isn’t a fertilizer. Double dark and Milo can be compared, and ironite and liquid iron can be compared. But comparing all 5 against each other is comparing apples to oranges.
If you want a dark green lawn it is all about the grass seed type, how much you water it, and giving it lots of nitrogen and iron.
Milorganite is Milwaukee sewage treated with heat, pelletized and bagged to spread all over the USA.
No Thanks. I ain’t spreading that on my yard.
I agree with you on the right grass seeds but Milo is the best choice for me it is a slow release but what i like about it is that it's all Natural and organic and will not burn your lawn and you will get the same results
14:17 a drone view would be awesome to compare results. Thanks for all your work on this.
Yes I agree a long ranged shot would make the difference
6:07 Milo looks greener to me.
the liquid iron is hard to beat. i guess it just depends on what you are going for. the double dark is a fertlizer with iron. if you have a granular fertilizer you use regularly and just supplement with iron in between fertilizer applications, i personally think that is the best method. the problem with this is the granular takes longer to turn your yard green, while liquid iron does it in 2-4 days. the liquid iron can be applied ever month. i like to spray it on the lawn at the half way point between fertilization applications so by the time the iron is wearing off, the grass is starting take in the granular. liquid iron starts to wear off around the 14 day mark or after you mow a few times. also depends on grass type as well. Bermuda grass will turn the the darkest green/ blue you've ever seen with a good liquid iron application.
Liquid iron is good and cheap for a quick color response
Great Review. I had to go back click on those timestamps to see the difference during the flow of the video I couldn't tell much but yea I can see when I pause it and put it to 4K the difference you speak of, Secret Sauce to me takes the win as well.
After a few comments not being able to notice I included those timestamps. I’m glad they assisted in visually seeing the difference.
Thx for posting
i have used those and others and for me liquid iron did the most for my lawn which is tall fescue
Good choice and good price it does work well.
Great content Dan!
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for checking it out!
Nice video, I will by the liquid iron, good value for the price!
Nice! That would work great on any lawn. It’s going to get greeeeen
I have a guess about the secret sauce! Ammonium sulfate and chelated iron. If urea wasn’t used with iron. Great for lowering ph too , this in turn causing darker green from more iron uptake 😮
You have been the closest one out of everyone who has guessed I would say you are 40% complete with the ingredients list. there are about 3 more missing but you got 2 of them.
Love the video! Keep up the great work!
Nice video! I've moved to liquid nitrogen and iron applications. I like it better than pellets
Thank you 🙏🏽 love the CZcams username name you have!
Sorry I originally saw a different username I believe it said 3 kids and a dog… I’m a family man myself that’s why I said that earlier.
Phenomenal video Bro!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, that was a cool experiment
Man keep up the great work!!!
My go to is greene co. Green pop and micro green. Id like to see your thoughts on those products. But iron will only do so much, and before you add those id run a soil test in a month to see what your levels are and what your soil needs before adding more products.
You are correct and in order to see the difference must be deficient in iron. Which I was based on this years soil test. But I am already planning a version 2 of this video a lot have asked me to try side by side some other products. So I’m already thinking of the future and will include the double dark mix of Greene county.
thanks for your video. Only suggestion I would make is use a drone so you could see them all.
Very True I don't own one, but I can definitely go on the roof next time and take pics and video that way good thought thanks for the idea. Next time I promise.
Happy to see you’re doing better!
Thanks brother I’m trying and taking it day by day
❤️
great video.... i sub'd bc of it. Thanks for doing an experiment with your lawn!
Appreciate it that! I am considering making more video like this in the future.
Andersons Green shocker in spring and liquid kelp all summer.
Never tried Andersons. But kelp is 🔥
I learned about it from in a channel on here. Once you try it their PGF complete and green shocker they’ll be your go tos !!
@@KEEPTHOSEGEARSMOVING which one do you suggest for a green up and i will try it
Milo also has iron in it just enough to not burn the lawn and anything else FACTS
Liquids vs granular. Liquids will always win.
It is possible that would be a good video to try to debunk 🤔 or is 🏆 always going to go towards liquid.
New sub here for the knowledge. Thanks
Thank you and welcome!
😂 2:10 his kid crawling through the chemicals 😅
You are an idiot sir. Play the entire video, I sprayed that area 3 days later. I specifically told my son to stay on that side of the orange line. Watch the entire video before you comment.
Man that Milo does smell lol Back yard is definitely Ironite!!
Till this day I swear I can still smell it 🤢
@@DanTheLawnMan 🤣
I'm very curious what that mixture is. I know he has talked about FEature, so I wouldn't be surprised it that part of it or it may just be a custom mixture similar to FEature. The key is always chelated iron + a nitrogen source.
Very Close good 👀. Glad you know you know Green Doc well.
I’ve used Ironite twice with minor to little change. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
have you done a soil test? does your iron show high?. If it does you have too much iron in your soil/lawn and it cant continue to uptake anymore. Try using Tiger Sulfur for a color response. Ironite contains a lot of iron+sulfur. Maybe iron isn't what your lawn needs. Also your soil PH check that too high, too low can lack nutrients and not absorb them well.
I'm curious about the lifespan of the dark green color. Does the one that shows darker green now, stay green longer than the others or does it fade off faster? 🤔
Good question. From what I can remember here was my study. From which one faded first to last in order and roughly days.
1. Ironite color lasted about 28 days
2. Secret sauce color lasted about 31 days.
3. Double dark color lasted about 35 days.
4. Iron lasted about 30-40 days.
5. Milo because of slow release lasted about 45 days but had the lowest color response of all once they all faded I noticed milo stand out more. Still not dark green.
Pick the one that doesn’t stain the concrete
Chelated is the way to go
Great video. How long does the green last to each product? Thanks
Everything with the exception of milogranite lasted roughly between 25-35 days. However milogranite was at the bottom of color response compared to the others visually.
Milogranite lasted about 45-60 days.
So Milo lasted the longest facts
Need that recipe! 😊
Coming soon!
Would ammonia and epsom salts be also in the secret sauce
No it’s not I wouldn’t add it. I placed a comment in the video with the ingredients used and links to all of them and exact measurements.
On Amazon Super Juice Fertilizer is almost $100 for a 13 pound bag. Yikes.
I’ll have a review on that next yea it’s time I give it try. Let’s see if it pass without me being bias.
I wouldnt put any of those on the soil. Yeah the soil, the lawn is nothing without soil biology.
I have sandy soil, more sand less soil I have no such thing, and the soil I do have is healthy and black and full of organic activity. Soo.. yea theres that. Apart from the granular stuff the liquid "mostly" doesn't even touch the soil its foliar never even gets to see the top layer of dirt/sand. The rest of the wash off will barely get up taken.
Did you do a control section at all? One without any application put down at all?
Negative I should had, but I did not. I may do a follow up where I box out 4x4 sections and show it this way. Maybe a CZcams short in the future.
Thank you for the experiment. I just got me some liquid iron.
Question, how often should I use the liquid iron?
During your growing season, 1 time every 2 months is the safest best 👍🏼and keep the color going.
Color starts to fade roughly around week 6. Which means by Week 8 you are free to spray again. Always follow the label amount no need to go heavy you'll always get a color response from Liquid Iron at the min rate.
@@DanTheLawnMan thank you. Will post for updates.🤞🤞🤞
Just wondering, why do you edge?
Edge?
Watch out. You might be getting a visit from one of Allan Hayne's acquaintances soon.
Well to those who deny I have the proof here. I even added some time stamps in the description of the video where you can pause and kinda see the difference. I just wish I had a better camera. But again, you didn't get my opinion on the color only glad I had some guest show up for this video.
Great video but you really can't compare liquids to granular in 10 days. Milo takes around 2 months to even breakdown. Can you give another update then?
to this day no difference I am about day 60 into that application and its just as green as the rest of the yard. and all the products have worn off a long time ago since about day 45. I unfortunately don't see the difference in milo apart from the phosphorus which made stolons move a little more but no greening effect. Milo if I had to call it today is still last place.
Where can you buy the Green Doc’s products
So.. That recipe I will make a video for if the video ever gets a goal I set for it in the description of this video. Its a combination of 3-4 products made into 1 to get the "secret sauce"
Where did you buy the spreader
I have the link in the description of the video but here you go: amzn.to/3Xeg2bD
Good spreader but an alternative I use now since I broke my solo is the Ryobi 18V Electric spreader
Great comparison video but asking for 100k veiws for thr Green Doc reveal? Thats whack! 😢
😔 there is another option.
So we’ll never get the secret sauce…because you’re never getting that amount of views
the easy method is to sign up for the @thegrassfactor discord and ask green doc him self, but.. the amount f views I have received so far in this video its heading in the right direction my friend.
@numbuh_uno chelated iron, mangeiusm, zinc, copper, ammonium sulfate. I just asked greendoc himself. :)
@@Rose-A-Day
I want to make everyone aware if they read this comment- this is half the information and it is right this is the ingredients. I am not liable what you do with this info if wrong measurements and purchases are made. I will say this is 100% the ingredients I used.
Janelle-
so you will be replying to every comment with the ingredients now lol this is the ingredients i will give you that.. Good luck with that. I already told you I will be making the video soon. Since you are now on the case to solve this good luck with it. be weary of the product you purchase and the amounts may cause more harm then good and I am not liable for what people do to their lawn with this info. ill still make the video for Janelle Morgan but my gosh, you got half the information and now providing it to commenters. Later they screw something up and blame me. there is still the right ingredients to find to make it cost effective, measurements mixed etc. spreading this type of info now that you have the "ingredients only" is not good info. I told you be patient I am making the video now your commenting SMH.
Why would you do that and not give us the ingredients for the one that one. Are we children. I can’t tell you what I used. Blah blah blah . And to be 100% honest I don’t think it was darker than the iron liquid. And as far as the Malarga night goes, you put it on the side with all the mud that definitely influence the way people voted. But I’m glad you feel better and hope you don’t get sick again. God bless
I did release the formula. Just not in this video in my recent live it’s posted. Didn’t have the okay to release it during the filming process. And thanks I am feeling better. Things are looking brighter.
@@DanTheLawnMan okay. Thank you vm
You are missing the long game. Products like double dark improve your soil and overall health of the lawn. Quick green products like ironite put lipstick on a pig.
how does double dark improve the soil? and i don't want your version or because i heard it from here or there i want proof and studies.
@@DanTheLawnMan adding carbon to your soil improves its ability to hold nutrients and make them available to the plant.
@@meanstreak1170arbon doesn’t do that. And there’s no such thing as release nutrient to make available to the plant. What u put is what u get out of the plant the leaf blade it can only take up so much. What is left over becomes trash.
If I gave u 100grams of protein 100grams of carbs. Your body can only store for example 50grams of carbs for a source of energy. The other 50grams become poop. If I feed you 100grams of protein your body can only take up 80grams for muscle tissues and cell development the other 20 grams become poop. How the heck will my body hold this to make available apart from fat? Fat is fat and nothing else.
Same goes for lawns. Npk is npk there is nowhere for it to be “held” to make it available months or years down the road because u add “carbon” to it and now makes it available.
How did anyone have a nice lawn or soil before carbon ever came into play. I’m not talking shit just trying to educate you. Where ever u gather this info from or hear it is bullshit and your feeding into the bullshit. So keep buying “carbon” fertilizers and let me know in 20 years if your soil still looks the same as it does today. I wonder how much carbon you need to make it right? Years down the road.
"I will only release if 100K, ah sod off. Block channel!
✌🏽
The iron content is so much different you cant compare.
But you can compare if the words out of everyones mouth on youtube is "this turns your lawn dark green" so who truly is the dark green if everyone says it turns the lawn dark green? here is an example, you search for the best sedan, one video says toyota is better, another one says best in class honda is better, etc etc. will you say because of the gas milage one is not better than the other because the gas milage varies so you "can't" compare. Regardless of % of iron the plant can only take up so much at the same time. so in the end its really all the same % just one is actually better then the other.... thanks for the comment.
