Spray vs. Granular Fertilizer - Which is Better on Lawns

[michaelfisher]

For the past 5 or more years, I have had huge lawn faliures when applying my preemergent and fertilizer in the spring. My back yard has a slight slope to it and as my luck is, instead of getting a gentle rain, it pours. A typical Ks. frog chocker and there goes my fertilizer. Washing into my neighbors yard and beyond. Never fails. Finally got smart and used a liguid fert. this year and viola! I have a beautiful thick yard for a change. So I am sold on liquids because they get to the root of the matter quicker than granular. No pun intended.

This is by far the best information on liquid fertilizer on youtube. Thank you

I used granulated weed and feed upfront and the liquid/spray weed and feed in the backyard both were Scotts I saw weeds yellowing at jus 24hr time frame in the liquid and the granulated within a week or so..both had the same weeds

Great video Doc, how often should I apply it to my St Augustine in south Florida.

What's causing the brown, no grass sections in your lawn?

[martydennis]

Doc what sprayer are you using .? Can you show us your application techniques please!

[leesahcage]

Good video, great information. How did the Lawn fertilizer Liquid Lawn do, was it good for your lawn, how about your plants? Please update so we know if its a good buy.

Doc, the reason I look for no "P" is because my soil test say's that my lawn is high in by it. Should I avoid it then? Thanks

Hi Doc, I dont have Bermuda but wondering if Liquid Lawn is beneficial for cool grass lawns other than Bermuda in states like Pa. Also wondering when is the best time to apply. Thanks!

Another great one Doc👍🏼. I’m a new lawn fanatic, just laid my new Kentucky bluegrass(500 SF) last month and since I had to keep it moist fungus are appearing and now I’m on a mission for life to have a great looking lawn. New subscriber here since you give out great tips. By the way I’m in the Dessert of Reno, NV so any tips would be great and I think I like spray over granular. So far I have used Scott’s Disease Ex and Bio Advance Fungus Control. Thanks

Scotts granules are uniform and each granule contains all ingredients

I'd love to start liquid fertilizers, but my concern has always been with breathing the stuff in.. is it bad or is that just with weed killers?

Can I use this calendar for Bahia Grass

[portwolf]

If you have an irrigation system, would dosing the spray fertilizer work well that way? Even diluted down if need be.

[papablueshirt]

I wonder if the same logic applies to bug sprays vs granules?

[extremereclusefallows]

How do you apply the liquid weed and feed? What device?

Is banana liquid fertilizer effective on plants? (not a gardener here)

[davidjonburke]

Ever save the old hose spray bottles you buy from Lowe's and add the your own liquid concentrate ?

[dmitry]

How can I tell when I'm out of the actual weed and feed product?? It NEVER stops spraying.
