Fall Nitrogen Plan with RESULTS!! 99% Do NOT Do This but THEY SHOULD!

Fertilizing in the fall is a necessity if you want a GREAT LAWN. In this video, I show you my fall nitrogen plan that has transformed my average lawn into one of the best looking lawns in my neighborhood.

I prefer using Urea or Ammonium Sulfate when fertilizing my lawn in the fall. The reason I like using these two fertilizers is because they are both fast release fertilizers. Using fast release fertilizers allow you to get results very quickly and control how much fertilizer you are feeding your grass. You can use slow release fertilizers with this fall nitrogen plan, but I would recommend that the fertilizer has at least some fast release nitrogen in it.

For established lawns, I would recommend applying 0.5 lbs of nitrogen every two weeks. This will allow your lawn to heal from summer stress and prepare it for the upcoming winter. For lawns that are unhealthy, thin, or look yellow I would recommend using 0.5 lbs of nitrogen every week. This will cause your grass to grow VERY FAST, so you have to stay on top of mowing. You do not want to stress your grass out by breaking the 1/3rd rule.

Within 4 weeks you should see great results! This will help get your lawn very green, thick, and healthy this fall. As well as prepare your lawn for winter and the upcoming spring!

It's so good to see another lawn guy who knows the joys of riding the nitrogen train of terror!! 👊

[tonypark]

I just wanted to tell you that this was an absolute game-changer for my lawn. I can't believe the results I got from doing this. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[zacharyschneider]

Worked great on my lawn. Grass is dark green and growing still. Everyone else is dormant and yellow already

[timkorth]

Wow thank you for the plan. I put down my first application on Sep 26 and a 2nd application yesterday. What a difference in my lawn already. I over seeded the lawn on Aug 20. I had a few bare spots and those spots are starting to fill in. Thank You.

Info is 100% spot on. I do one final step after the grass has stopped growing though. I wait about 3 weeks then throw 1lb p/k of N down. It goes straight to the roots as storage for the spring.

Great plan dude, wish these temps would drop so I could start pushing this overseed!

[jeffkovner]

I live on Long Island, NY. Just did the NST on my lawn instead of overseeding. I put down Scotts winter fertilizer at rate of 1 pound per 1000 square feet every two weeks for 5 weeks. Last application was December 10. It is now the beginning of January and my lawn has never looked better. It is still lush and green. Neighbors lawns have already lost their color. Hopefully it continue through the spring and summer 2023. I last cut my lawn at 3 inches late November. After late November while still dark green there was no additional growth.

Wow this procedure really transformed my lawn !
Thanks Jesse your the man !!!

[TurfCulture]

True. Slow release requires higher soil temperatures to break down, not a great option for the fall. AMS or Urea is the way!

I just started killing off the weeds. Im ready to rip them out in a few days to prep the lawn for fall. Slowly but surely, we'll get that lush green!

[LiveBoysMusic]

i love your video editing skills! like a little movie 🎥 while getting knowledge! 😀

[robertlevy]

Day one of fall nitrogen blitz for Texas. Used DEF and sprayed. Time to get this looking great for fall.

[timd]

Thanks!!! I have been using Greene county 7-0-0 3 oz per k every 10 days works and looks great!!!

[jdb]

Picked up a bag of 21-0-0 at a local Ag supply store in MN for $21! Thanks for all the quality content Jesse!

[jskierko]

Jesse rocking the plain white tee in the lawn to accentuate the green. This guy thinks of everything!

[Mario-hdls]

For urea use Diesel Exaust Fluid, $10 per 2.5 gal at walmart, blend 3.5 to 5 oz with 1 gal of water per 1000SF

Favorite time of the year for the grass! Great vid!

Hi Jesse, I just wanted to thank you for this video. I viewed it last year in the fall and followed your advice to the T and my lawn has really reaped the benefits from it during that season and into spring this year especially. I kid you not bro, my lawn was the one and only lawn that had early green up back in March of this year on my entire block. A lot of the small bare spots I had last year during the blitz filled in then during the process of the applications. I really can’t wait to see what you have in store for us this year man. I keep checking your channel everyday, though I’m subscribed and would receive notifications, to see if maybe you posted new videos 🤣

[So_pho_king_awesome]

Love your lawn, what is your thoughts on dissolve these granular into the water to spray on the grass?

[CP-rmrz]

AG stores in my area sell AMS for ~$20 per 50lbs Hand spreader is a good tip
