Miracle grow...4 tablespoons to 2 gallons of water. I can fill a dollar tree spray bottle many times to spray my lawn several times and it's enough to keep my lawn green for the entire year. $6 and change.

Shaded lawn always looks better it’s the areas that get hit most the day with sun that’s hard too green up. I used Scott’s healthy lawn and fungus and within 24 hours my hard brown lawn turned green and grew inches within a 24 hour period. I love this stuff..

“It’s 4 1/2 days later, and I’m still wearing the same shirt” haha just teasing. Great video! I’m ready to kick TruGreen to the curb and start doing my lawn treatments myself. This is inspiring! Thanks for the info!

Try putting the Epsom Salt down 5-7 days prior to regular fertilizer, helps with the absorption of nutrients. Great video!

Thanks Mike. I just fell off a ladder cleaning my gutters and broke my foot and messed my body up. Got to get her done.

Use your spreader to put the epsom salt down, it’s a more controlled application . 2 lbs per 1000 sq. Ft.

I use urine for (NPK), epsome salts and liquid iron(Moss Out) . Applied with hose sprayer. Total cost for the season is $18.

My late Mom would add a little epsom salt to her roses once a year. She said it made the cane's stronger.

Hi mike. I have been a master gardener for 35 years.

Great job kiddo. I like spraying beer and whiskey eosomsalt and bonemeal. Your lawn will thankyou. I learned from the mr. Kmart garden section, Mr. Jerry baker with his fantastic grandma putt. All his books are many but great read. Funny though the more you read the greener your yard gets!!! Have fun. Nice video and quite informative. Punched subscribbed!
Keep em coming please.

I’ve been using coffee grounds on my lawn and scrubs for about a year. It really makes the trees and shrubs grow. I apply a lower concentration on the lawn. I believe the lawn can only tolerate a lower amount of grounds. I dissolve the grounds in water and just pour it over the lawn. I started the coffee grounds after I started using a Stanley French press to make our coffee. It brews the coffee at a higher temperature than the poorly made Keurig makers that I have had and the coffee tastes much better!

Natural fertilizers take much longer to work than chemical fertilizers. 4 days is not nearly enough. Your experiment shows the Epsom salt possibly working, but very hard to tell from the video. Miloganite may take longer to see results. It says right on the bag, "SLOW RELEASE". Need to see untreated areas and both treated areas after a month along with an area treated with just Miloganite.

Spray it with a solution of dish soap works also

Mentioned by others - A PUSH MOWER!!! I used one to cut back mid '50s. Thought I was big time when Dad got a gas mower. I'd get $1.25 from one of Mom's friends down the street to - let - me cut her grass. At 75 now, my rider Cub Cadet is just fine with 33-0-0 . Enjoyed your video and info. So much out there to choose.

Few bags of compost for 10$ will do much better than anything else. Its all organic and all food for the grass, thats it. Thats all you need compost and water

[flch]

I apply the epsom salt in a hose end sprayer. I weigh the product out per 1000sq ft then stir in water, add to sprayer bottle.

[BreezyByTheSea]

I’m going to try epsom salt. This is the 3 rd time in a week I’ve heard this.
Growing up my sister had a horse. My mom would use the manure on all our plants and lawn. It was beautiful. No, I don’t do that now. lol
Epsom salt smells so much better. Lol

[HiddenAgendas]

from my experiment, lawn doesn't need nitrogen. Nitrogen only causes excessive growth not greening.

Adding iron and epson salts is what I do now. Only thing is, it's a pain to add epson salt. Using a hose end sprayer takes forever, so mixing it with ironite or any other fertilizer does make it easier.

[arleenralph]

Thanks for the video - it was really helpful and I was wondering about that also

I have some magnesium Epson salt, but I’m about a week or more behind on fertilizing my lawn with 26–0-2 (and wanted to add ironite too) I’ve had heat spots in my lawn that has turned it grayish color from a neighbor across the street whose windows reflect the sun onto my lawn.
I’m in Greenville SC 90° temperature days.
