Alan, love your videos. I bought a house in NJ last year and I will be using your fertilizer system ! Awesome advice I can't wait to see results!

I've always used Lesco products from JD Landscapes but I am going to try your program this coming spring. Time to take the lawn off drugs!

OK, just want to make a correction on this, Conventional fertilizer, is 8-12 weeks and it also depends on what brand you buy. Conventional fertilizer now have very high tech coatings on them that slows the release of nitrogen into the soil. This is not the stuff that was used 5 years ago and it's not the stuff that was used 20 years ago. Professional fertilizers are now hovering around 50% slow release nitrogen and there are talks that 60% will be common place in the next 5 years. Organic is 4-6 weeks. Biosolids like milorganite need to go down every 4-5 weeks. Specially when its really hot outside. When soil temperatures are at their peak that is when you see the best results from organic fertilizer. Turf grass need anywhere from 2lbs of nitrogen to 4 lbs of nitrogen per 1000 ft² per year. If you want high end turf lean towards the 4 lbs per 1000 ft², if you want healthy grass then go with 2 lbs ft². For anyone that is reading this. If your lawn care provider is using liquid fertilizer, request granular fertilizer. Liquid fertilizer is not slow release and their are slow release liquids on the market but, the people that are spraying are not using those products due to price. Granular fertilizer only.

Can I still add milorganite to my lawn even if I have people come out and treat them like true green?

I want to get a spreader like the one you use. What setting do you set yours on? How do you determine what setting you use? Thanks

Hello Allen,
My name is David, I live in the Marysville OH area. The temperature here in early spring is between 50 to 60 degrees. I am wanting to fertilize my yard.
I want to my front yard to have a thicker look. What do you suggest the best fertilizer for a thicker lawn.

Thank you,
David

Is it better to cut and edge your grass before fertilizing or should you fertilize while the grass is taller and wait for a few days to mow? Thanks Ron

Hey Sir, another question, I was wondering how do you feel about using Lime on the lawn before or mix the two (Milorganite and Lime) when fertilizing in the Spring?  My dogs have been using  yard as a out house (better than my carpet) and was wondering about the soil when Spring time came around (I do clean it but....) I read that I would POSSIBLY need to drop Lime on my lawn, due to the acidity. Thanx in advance!!

Greetings Lawn Care Nut! I hope all is well! Question: How much Nitrogen should my lawn be getting in a single year and also how much should it get in a single application. Tomorrow, I plan to put down Ringer Lawn Restore II which is 10-0-6 and also a crabgrass pre-emergent from Lesco that is 19-0-7. Do you recommend this move or is this too much nitrogen? Let me know! Thanks Bro!!

First off, Awesome channe!!l, I watch/listen to your advice, I have a question if you dont mind.  I'm going to be using Milorganite this spring (Mid April-mid May) on my lawn, but...I have areas that have moss (I live in Spokane WA, got big trees in my yard) should I first use Moss out, let it dry, thatch the moss,  then use the Milorganite?? What do you think? Thanks in advance!!!

Damn goin from that suv to audi's... show me your ways lawn god!

[Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit]

2x a year is the real answer

Best case 1x with nitrogen based

1x with traditional solid fertilizer
