This guy obviously has no clue what he’s doing. Cut your grass at 4 inches and only apply ANY product when your grass is actively growing. Follow rate instructions and don’t mow or fertilize in extreme heat and the grass will be just fine.
It would work better if you had more grass and if you follow Doc apply it once a week during the early spring it would make a big difference, my lard looks just like Docs,
Bruce Nellis thanks Bruce. Yeah, I’m using the juice as a supplement like Doc in the front. Good results. The review is based as a sole primary fertilizer as marketed on the bag. Different story so far.
You tried to review a product but didn't follow the complete process. Almost like your waxing a car before you washed it and saying the wax doesnt work. You need to regroup, follow the bermuda calendar, then you can review the product. I followed it and my lawn has totally revived and looks amazing. Again, follow ALL the steps starting before winter.
I did a front and side yard renovation this spring. Nuked the entire thing last fall with round up. Early March, in between rain storms, I got out there and tilled all the dead foliage under, then planted Tractor Supply Co. "Ultra Premium Tall Fescue". Raked it in and kept it moist. I didn't use any fertilizer until I saw it start to come up. Once it came up, I hit it, hot and heavy, with the super Juice. High concentration, every weekend. It came in real nice like that. Then, I started mowing it once it reached past the 4" mark. I set my Honda at 4"and started mowing it. The first 3 times mowing was good. But after the 4th mow, it started growing like mad! It's growing 1.5"-2" every 24 hours and ALL I've put on it was Tenacity, when I seeded for weed control, then one more app after it came up, and Super Juice. That's it. I go out the next day after mowing now, and it looks like it hasn't been touched for days. I take my ruler out and measure blades of grass that have been cut and they are 5.5"-6"+. I just cannot believe how well that new grass is doing. So I'm a true believer in this product. I've seen extraordinary results in a lawn that was bare dirt just 7 weeks ago. My neighbors marvel at how good it looks.
unafilliated x yeah, before I had a reel mower I had my HOC at the highest level. It really does improve the health on a rotary cut. If you do that, cut regularly, and have a consistent water plan your yard will look really good.
Hello ReelBob Shady your lawn seems to be coming out nice. I'm using SJ as a supplemental along with the pgf 16-0-8, liquid iron and liquid micro's. I took the Docs msg on pushing the bermuda hard during the spring time. I'm stunned with the results. Thank you for the content your putting together about "SuperJuice"!!
Similar to yourself I love watching lawn care videos, I stumbled across your channel from your putting green video. Really enjoying it so far and I’m liking the honest review of this product! Keep up the good work and keep the content coming. Maybe do a review of Mr Ryan Knorrs simple lawn solutions...I’ve only heard good things about it!
Bob, Nice yard and neighborhood. Looks like you have warm weather grass (Bermuda?). 14-2-4 for a first spring fertilizer on that grass is weak-sauce. Want great grass? Wait till you see 50% green as the lawn comes out of winter dormancy (when your night time temps are in the 60's), then hit it with a ~30 nitrogen fertilizer (33-4-10 or so). Bermuda can handle high nitrogen as long as it gets watered in fairly quickly. As temps get into the 90's, back off the nitrogen a bit, but continue to fertilize every 6 weeks (28-5-12 slow release).
Andrew, sorry for missing this man. For 4100 sq ft at the 7-1-2 ration (Half Ratio) you need a little less than 1 1/2 cups. But I would just do 1 1/2 cups.
Stop wasting your time with that junk and go with the Greene county next products. I use rgs and the other products regularly and it is amazing. My lawn was thick and dark at least two weeks before all my neighbors. Domination bro!
Shouldn't have cut your yard low like that at end of year. All winter long with no protection is gonna set you back in spring time..the idea is to scalp after winter's last freeze.
You "MUST" strain Super Juice so your sprayer does not clog up, trust me, it's not a suggestion it is mandatory. I've tried to put it down 3 times without straining it. I've used Super Juice with great results, you have to use it on a non-dormant lawn as it is a foliar spray. I wish you luck on your back yard and also check out Ryan Knorr and Allyn Hayne "The Lawn Care Nut" on youtube. Doc is also full of great information on lawn care. You have further set your lawn up to succeed next year! "I'll see you in the mow"!
Mix each bottle when you need it. Poor hot water directly into your sprayer bottle, attach hose, shake, spray - refill as needed. Very easy! Not sure why people use buckets, etc. The hot water becomes cold water and crates blocking in your sprayer bottle. This doesn't need to be an exact science...
I feel like this is being intellectually dishonest. If you watch Doc’s videos you will learn to use this as a supplement every few weeks or so along with a primary.
Steven Hajost I understand your concern Steven. That’s why I clarify from the beginning my intent to evaluate the product as it’s marketed as a primary. Not how doc uses it as a supplement now.
I use it as a primary fert on my TTTF and it's kicking my yards butt, and mine too because I have to mow practically everyday to keep it under control. First world problems, right? 🙄🙄😊😊
clog ? then play with the dye solution? no mesh strain? thanks for the heads up. no thanks ill stick to mg. its ok if you have the time/ money/ determination
So pay $80 for a 13.5lb bag that doesn't even do anything. His defenders say you have to use it as a supplement with real fertilizers to notice any results. In other words, it does nothing. They're saying that if you want results, you need to use real fertilizers, not less than 2 lbs of N for an entire acre. "Oh wow, look at the results I'm getting when I use all these fertilizers and other micronutrient products. It must be because of the SJ!!" There are way cheaper products that have all the stuff SJ has.
I think SJ is a pain and it does not mix well for me. I use hot water, mix a couple minutes with drill and paint mixer then strain in the fine mesh strainer Doc recommends. Takes a bit to strain and what is left behind is a fair amount of humic acid. . . . which should be going on the lawn, not down the drain. I have also noticed the color of my lawn to be patchy, which I have never had. I think I will stick with a granular program and some N-Ext products for soil conditioning. I figured it out and it is cheaper to do also.
shawn engstrom i prepare mine and let it sit for the next week application. No clogging issues and my bottle has a mesh screen on the tube that feeds the hose spray
Similar results. Im skipping the agitating of humic to a liquid and just putting granular humic instead. Now I do Liquid Lawn, liquid iron and sea kelp with the dye. Less clogging and watering in the humic works nicely.
The micro-nutrients in Doc's formula does have some benefit because I have been using a similar strategy with my vegetable garden. The granular product was never intended to make a liquid and thats why you are having sediment issues. This year, I tried two products on my lawn developed by Lawncology and its a true liquid version of Kelp & Humic, it actually increased the uptake of nutrients and my lawn looks way better than ever before with little effort. I also used some synthetic granular fertilizer and a foliar application of fish hydroslate to add trace nutrients and enyzimes... I'm not against Doc's product, I just realize there are better options and many of them are less expensive to use.
I tried the SJ and I wasn't that impressed. First off, I am in Corpus Christi and have a newly sodded (Jan '19) bermudagrass yard. I'm what you're calling an average joe, but getting to be a lawn care nut. The calculations - I think - are a bit complicated if you just watch Doc's videos. So I kinda thought that was a drawback. I also got the "recommended" applicator on Amazon. It is flimsy and I could've gotten a better one at Lowe's or HD (turn-off #2). The grass didn't do much at all, but I think that the product might've been a little light on the ratio. I haven't tried another application yet, since I didn't know how often I could apply this stuff. In other words, I'm not that impressed with this stuff for the price you're paying.
I haven't tried SJ, but I think it could be a good Fert for long term use. It's like comparing organics to synthetics. Synthetics always work and your lawn will amazing in 3 days but that doesn't necessary mean you're soil test will come back amazing. Spoon feeding is really good for grass types like KBG and Bermuda and this might be good Fert to keep a soil test within the normal range without excessive N-P-K levels.
The product may be good but ... accompanying it with other products, which in the end you do not know which of them was the one that solved you, that of checking your floor sounds like ... to change your house or planet, somewhat confusing, Doc is a nice man, good people, friendly and even peculiar, but so far I have not seen a video in which you see a radical change or take the grass to the level that shows in their videos, There is something like you said "Real World" ... luck with your lawn
SJ is a product you would use as a supplement not a primary. Maybe you should test your soil. SJ, along with Doc’s program has made our yard the ‘BEST’ in our neighborhood. I have a few spots in the front, near the driveway due to our kids playing basketball but overall this product (along with others) works! We apply SJ once a week at the 7-1-2 ratio due to the GA high temps. Good luck, and I hope you see SJ for the better results it produces if you apply more often and as a supplement.
Hey ReelBob Shady watching from Calera, OK. Got the Super Juice as well. Hardly can lay it down due to the crazy rain. My lawn has turned into a swamp. Just moved down here into a new hows with sod laid down in January. slow, slow, slow showings of green and healthy lawn. P.S. doc instructs to use a high grade strainer to illuminate blockage.
Watch his videos. He applies 10-10-10 as well as pgf. I’m having awesome results. Used a comm company last year. Super juice is a supplement even in the 14-2-4
Randy Jensen yeah, he’s definitely started clearly pushing it as a supplement that last few months. Good to hear your overall program is working great.
If it's just "green" you're looking for then it'll be an iron supplement but you also need a healthy growing grass. Nitrogen helps with growth, iron with greening.
If you want to really review any product leave test strip, test strip, test strip because otherwise it’s just another video showing one persons opinion. Then at beginning of video show test strip results and say if you want this results, then here’s what to do.
One thing I’ve noticed is you keep talking about not seeing your yard “green up”. I’ve noticed that you’ve left out mixing in liquid iron. The iron is what greens up your yard.
Thanks for the response Glynn. Yeah, to keep everything constant and on point for the review I have not been doing any additives. Just SJ. However, you are correct that liquid iron does green up the yard. Ironite is a product I've used in the liquid form before and had great results. Although, I've noticed the spray bottles they come in an be finicky at times.
Honest review thanks for that. Remember Doc says it’s a supplement! Now he is just using it but if your lawn needs work applying 10-10-10 will help. Super juice in between. And watch how much iron he uses.
Unfortunately I find your review to be less than honest. First of all, Super Juice is not marketed as a primary fertilizer. It is a supplemental product to be used in addition to a regular maintenance program which includes regular applications of fertilizer. You began applying it to your grass that had not fully emerged from dormancy. You simply cannot push a dormant lawn. Your lawn has also been inundated by deluges of rain which isn't normal and apparently has washed away much of your topsoil since you had to add peat moss. The neighbors yard is a turf type tall fescue which is a cold season grass which stays green all winter and therefore was not emerging from dormancy. You claimed that it was greening up faster than yours which was barely emerging from dormancy. That's just dishonest! You are comparing apples to oranges! Also the neighbors yard is maintained by a professional lawn service which means that it has been receiving proper fertilization at recommended intervals. I could not recommend your review as being an honest or accurate review. I noticed that you have just recently started your RUclips channel so maybe you felt that by reviewing Doc's product you could attract some of his fans to watch your channel as well. All I can say is that integrity matters and you may want to keep that in mind if you want to be successful in the future. I hope you provide better quality controls on any future reviews otherwise you'll lose trust in the accuracy of your reviews.
Mr. Wilson, although I believe you to be genuine in your concern unfortunately you are incorrect in almost all your claims. I appreciate your comments, however I do not appreciate the implication that I am dishonest. 1) Super Juice is marketed as a primary. It says it right on Doc's website: [In the full strength of 14-2-4 (one bag per acre) it can be used as a primary fertilizer applied in times when your lawn needs the nutrients. i.e. Spring and Fall. During those periods you may want to apply every 2-4 weeks, then TONE DOWN the strength to 7-1-2 and apply as needed during the warmer months. This gives YOU total control of when and how much fertilizer your lawn gets.] Doc utilizes it as a supplement, and has started verbally saying that in his video to clear things up on how he uses it. (And, this is the correct method in my opinion) 2) My yard had been scalped, and had an initial hint of green prior to any application of SJ as I documented in video one. Doc recommended this as the optimal time for initial applications. 3) Yes, I have experienced a significant amount of rain. Which is why I clearly articulate that disclaimer in my video. It's a legitimate concern. And, also I integrated how well it was doing in my front yard to counterbalance that concern. 4) My neighbors yard is Bermuda (get your grass right). I know cool and warm season grasses. My front yard is the only yard in the neighborhood that is over-seeded with cool season grass. 5) If you are not a fan of my review, then by all means feel no pressure to recommend this review. But please do not attempt to belittle it with your inaccuracies on which it is based. 6) Yes, I have recently started my channel. I love the lawn care community. I love Doc's content just for your reference. SJ is a new product a lot of folks are interested in. My videos are simply an independent review. Thanks again!
I love Doc and I abide by his techniques as if it was the bible. My Zoysia looks the best ever because of it! But the bottom line is Super Juice WAS marketed as a primary fertilizer, then was amended to be a primary, only if it was a smaller lawn. Now I hear no primary marketing at all... I have used it as a supplement and it has been fantastic. Got my soil and my lawn in good shape last fall thanks to Doc. Great videos ReelBob Shady!
gatortalk6 good stuff. My yard is really coming around considering the weather the last month. However, I do need to work on the condition of my soil a bit.
Thanks for the evaluation of Super Juice. I commented to Doc that he was promoting SJ as the only thing he was using. He's not. He is using other fertilizers and supplimenting with SJ. I hope he catches his mistake.
I’ve been following Doc’s program and recommendations for about a year now. I actually still am using the old super juice recipe from last year as opposed to the pre-made mix. It works well with additional 10-10-10 granular. The amazon page clearly states that you “could” use as primary fertilizer, but Doc recommends a soil correction with 10-10-10 and then apply super juice as the supplement.
Jordan Rosiek yeah, he’s really backed off on promoting it as anything other than a supplement the last few months. I’ve really enjoyed it in the front yard integrating it with other products.
What are you using as a primary for your front yard since the super juice is a supplement? And what rate are you putting down the primary and super juice? I'm trying to jump start my lawn.
Leftoverture One yeah you’re probably right on the trees. They’re 5 years in now, so I think I’ve got another 5-10 before they start giving the yard big probs.
ReelBob Shady, I purchased new about 13 years ago. I fussed about the two trees in my yard as they both died within a month of owning the house and made the builder replace them. I should have left em dead, lol. I just paid over 1500 bux to have them removed. My suggestion to you is, get rid of them now. It’s not going to get any cheaper/easier to remove them. Bermuda does not like shade LOL.
I was intending to purchase this on amazon . I saw the price was over two hundred dollars. I’m glad that I didn’t pull the trigger. I use the millorganite as required the grass is looking promising.
@@heinzkitzvelvet even at that price I'm not sure that it works. I'll just stick to the millorganite. 17 bucks a bag. My grass look pretty thick and green
I can't stand the smell of Milo on my dog, so I started a Black covered bin filled with water and grass clippings poured in Milo and leave on the hottest spot on the Driveway. I made myself some Pooh soup that I then spray with a hose end sprayer. I can apply this a couple times a week. I m seeing results and the dog doesn't stink to high heaven.
@@justicemuhammad2631 Price doesn't indicate whether the product works or not. The only way to be certain of the results, is to use it. It seems a bit pricey, but it will last all season. When I put down a bag of Milo, I get a couple months out of it, tops. Then there's that smell, which I don't mind, but I worry about the neighbours. I've personally had incredible results in my lawn and I was starting out with bare soil and seed 7 weeks ago. Today, using only SJ, my lawn is going gangbusters. I can't keep up with it it's growing so fast. So I'm a believer.
@@taylorreynolds8938 I used it as my only fert for my complete, back-to-bare-dirt, renovation this spring. Super Juice has my new grass growing too fast. 24 hours after I mow, it needs mowed again because it's growing 1.5"- 2" everyday. It's exciting but dear.....GAAAWWD it's a lot of work. Just put my first app of Milorganite on yesterday, so it'll really be darkening up nice here in a couple of days. Not that it really needed it. Super Juice made it one of the darkest green lawns in my 'hood as it is.
Superjuice is working great after my 2nd application. I do put it down heavy. I noticed a big difference the following day. I tried using the N-ext products with little to no success.
Like your candor. I've put down miloganite in late april here in Ga for my bermuda, we kept having crazy temp swings and my grass greened up later. Think I'm just gonna use the liquid lawn stuff as a supplement. That's what Doc was using before he created super juice.
And...We had another 4 inches last night!
What About just regular dirt??? Can Dr. Juice grow my grass when it's just regular dirt & little fescue tall fall seeds??? PLEASE HELP ME
That’s what she said!
What was temperature when you started using super juice?
Has anyone experienced unopened bags of Superjuice in storage liquefying in the bag?
This guy obviously has no clue what he’s doing. Cut your grass at 4 inches and only apply ANY product when your grass is actively growing. Follow rate instructions and don’t mow or fertilize in extreme heat and the grass will be just fine.
Yes ReelBob! This rain is crazy!!! Of course I’ll be complaining that it’s too dry in the middle of the summer...
It just keeps coming man.

Just moved down here into a new hows with sod laid down in January. slow, slow, slow showings of green and healthy lawn. P.S. doc instructs to use a high grade strainer to illuminate blockage.
Watch his videos. He applies 10-10-10 as well as pgf. I’m having awesome results. Used a comm company last year. Super juice is a supplement even in the 14-2-4
Randy Jensen yeah, he’s definitely started clearly pushing it as a supplement that last few months. Good to hear your overall program is working great.
I live in Canada and I don’t get any of these products here, is there an alternative product I can get here in Canada to make my grass green??
If it's just "green" you're looking for then it'll be an iron supplement but you also need a healthy growing grass. Nitrogen helps with growth, iron with greening.
What region do you live in? What state ? What kind of grass are you growing? THX
If you want to really review any product leave test strip, test strip, test strip because otherwise it’s just another video showing one persons opinion. Then at beginning of video show test strip results and say if you want this results, then here’s what to do.
Absolutely right. Tired of watching lawn videos with no before and after pictures. It's all just opinions.
Thanks for the shout out! You're not kidding the rain just keeps coming and coming. Love the honesty, Cheers dude
Fo Sho!
I used weed and feed, along with humic acid and milorganite, and the results are amazing. All were dry form, then watered
One thing I’ve noticed is you keep talking about not seeing your yard “green up”. I’ve noticed that you’ve left out mixing in liquid iron. The iron is what greens up your yard.
Thanks for the response Glynn. Yeah, to keep everything constant and on point for the review I have not been doing any additives. Just SJ. However, you are correct that liquid iron does green up the yard. Ironite is a product I've used in the liquid form before and had great results. Although, I've noticed the spray bottles they come in an be finicky at times.
Honest review thanks for that. Remember Doc says it’s a supplement! Now he is just using it but if your lawn needs work applying 10-10-10 will help. Super juice in between. And watch how much iron he uses.
Just throws some Scotts down and you'll be good.
Unfortunately I find your review to be less than honest. First of all, Super Juice is not marketed as a primary fertilizer. It is a supplemental product to be used in addition to a regular maintenance program which includes regular applications of fertilizer. You began applying it to your grass that had not fully emerged from dormancy. You simply cannot push a dormant lawn. Your lawn has also been inundated by deluges of rain which isn't normal and apparently has washed away much of your topsoil since you had to add peat moss. The neighbors yard is a turf type tall fescue which is a cold season grass which stays green all winter and therefore was not emerging from dormancy. You claimed that it was greening up faster than yours which was barely emerging from dormancy. That's just dishonest! You are comparing apples to oranges! Also the neighbors yard is maintained by a professional lawn service which means that it has been receiving proper fertilization at recommended intervals. I could not recommend your review as being an honest or accurate review. I noticed that you have just recently started your RUclips channel so maybe you felt that by reviewing Doc's product you could attract some of his fans to watch your channel as well. All I can say is that integrity matters and you may want to keep that in mind if you want to be successful in the future. I hope you provide better quality controls on any future reviews otherwise you'll lose trust in the accuracy of your reviews.
Mr. Wilson, although I believe you to be genuine in your concern unfortunately you are incorrect in almost all your claims. I appreciate your comments, however I do not appreciate the implication that I am dishonest. 1) Super Juice is marketed as a primary. It says it right on Doc's website: [In the full strength of 14-2-4 (one bag per acre) it can be used as a primary fertilizer applied in times when your lawn needs the nutrients. i.e. Spring and Fall. During those periods you may want to apply every 2-4 weeks, then TONE DOWN the strength to 7-1-2 and apply as needed during the warmer months. This gives YOU total control of when and how much fertilizer your lawn gets.] Doc utilizes it as a supplement, and has started verbally saying that in his video to clear things up on how he uses it. (And, this is the correct method in my opinion) 2) My yard had been scalped, and had an initial hint of green prior to any application of SJ as I documented in video one. Doc recommended this as the optimal time for initial applications. 3) Yes, I have experienced a significant amount of rain. Which is why I clearly articulate that disclaimer in my video. It's a legitimate concern. And, also I integrated how well it was doing in my front yard to counterbalance that concern. 4) My neighbors yard is Bermuda (get your grass right). I know cool and warm season grasses. My front yard is the only yard in the neighborhood that is over-seeded with cool season grass. 5) If you are not a fan of my review, then by all means feel no pressure to recommend this review. But please do not attempt to belittle it with your inaccuracies on which it is based. 6) Yes, I have recently started my channel. I love the lawn care community. I love Doc's content just for your reference. SJ is a new product a lot of folks are interested in. My videos are simply an independent review. Thanks again!
I love Doc and I abide by his techniques as if it was the bible. My Zoysia looks the best ever because of it! But the bottom line is Super Juice WAS marketed as a primary fertilizer, then was amended to be a primary, only if it was a smaller lawn. Now I hear no primary marketing at all... I have used it as a supplement and it has been fantastic. Got my soil and my lawn in good shape last fall thanks to Doc. Great videos ReelBob Shady!
gatortalk6 good stuff. My yard is really coming around considering the weather the last month. However, I do need to work on the condition of my soil a bit.
Thanks for the evaluation of Super Juice. I commented to Doc that he was promoting SJ as the only thing he was using. He's not. He is using other fertilizers and supplimenting with SJ. I hope he catches his mistake.
JRL Sports he does say he used organic fertilizer granular and adds super juice to water it in.
I’ve been following Doc’s program and recommendations for about a year now. I actually still am using the old super juice recipe from last year as opposed to the pre-made mix. It works well with additional 10-10-10 granular. The amazon page clearly states that you “could” use as primary fertilizer, but Doc recommends a soil correction with 10-10-10 and then apply super juice as the supplement.
Jordan Rosiek yeah, he’s really backed off on promoting it as anything other than a supplement the last few months. I’ve really enjoyed it in the front yard integrating it with other products.
Only one word Milorganite !!!!!!!
What are you using as a primary for your front yard since the super juice is a supplement? And what rate are you putting down the primary and super juice? I'm trying to jump start my lawn.
Rgs green punch and Nitro phos superturf together work the best for me
@@CCCC-tq8yo Boy you are spending big bucks on all that stuff! And folks on here complain about the cost of SuperJuice...HA!

Bob, I live in OKC and have lots of questions, I'm using a Tru-Cut C25 to go low.
ReelBobShady@gmail.com Hopefully I can help.
Great reviews, thanks!!
You’re going to hate those new trees in your yard in about 10 years.
Leftoverture One yeah you’re probably right on the trees. They’re 5 years in now, so I think I’ve got another 5-10 before they start giving the yard big probs.
ReelBob Shady,
I purchased new about 13 years ago. I fussed about the two trees in my yard as they both died within a month of owning the house and made the builder replace them. I should have left em dead, lol.
I just paid over 1500 bux to have them removed.
My suggestion to you is, get rid of them now. It’s not going to get any cheaper/easier to remove them.
Bermuda does not like shade LOL.
I was intending to purchase this on amazon . I saw the price was over two hundred dollars. I’m glad that I didn’t pull the trigger. I use the millorganite as required the grass is looking promising.
That's a scammer buying up the inventory and then jacking the price way up when it sells out of regular stock at Amazon. The real price is $79.88
@@heinzkitzvelvet even at that price I'm not sure that it works. I'll just stick to the millorganite. 17 bucks a bag. My grass look pretty thick and green
I can't stand the smell of Milo on my dog, so I started a Black covered bin filled with water and grass clippings poured in Milo and leave on the hottest spot on the Driveway. I made myself some Pooh soup that I then spray with a hose end sprayer. I can apply this a couple times a week. I m seeing results and the dog doesn't stink to high heaven.
Where do you get liquid milorganite?
@@justicemuhammad2631 Price doesn't indicate whether the product works or not. The only way to be certain of the results, is to use it. It seems a bit pricey, but it will last all season. When I put down a bag of Milo, I get a couple months out of it, tops. Then there's that smell, which I don't mind, but I worry about the neighbours.
I've personally had incredible results in my lawn and I was starting out with bare soil and seed 7 weeks ago. Today, using only SJ, my lawn is going gangbusters. I can't keep up with it it's growing so fast. So I'm a believer.
where are you located and what type of grass?
Lee M central Oklahoma. Bermuda.
I came very close to buying this product. From the look of your lawn, it just doesn’t justify the cost. Think I am going to try Carbon X.
this stuff works, but it isn't a primary fertilizer. If you use it as a supplement every two weeks works great.
You can get it on ebay, two bags plus shipping cast $79.00
Ya just gotta put more on the yard, more often to get the yard to respond correctly. Especially in the beginning stages of using it in the Spring.
@@taylorreynolds8938 I used it as my only fert for my complete, back-to-bare-dirt, renovation this spring. Super Juice has my new grass growing too fast. 24 hours after I mow, it needs mowed again because it's growing 1.5"- 2" everyday. It's exciting but dear.....GAAAWWD it's a lot of work.
Just put my first app of Milorganite on yesterday, so it'll really be darkening up nice here in a couple of days. Not that it really needed it. Super Juice made it one of the darkest green lawns in my 'hood as it is.
taylor reynolds is the product priced as a supplement or a main.? i heard it is expensive....
I tried this product over the last few months. I can't tell any difference.
Superjuice is working great after my 2nd application. I do put it down heavy. I noticed a big difference the following day. I tried using the N-ext products with little to no success.
Rgs and green punch works
@@CCCC-tq8yo GreenePunch works really well. I've used it once so far and had great results at only 8oz/1000sqft.
I don't have any stickers, but if I did I would send you one! :)
I would disagree Doc super juice is awsome... i tried it and have gotten great results🤗
No
This is not worth 80 bucks .... I bought it and it’s not what they crack it to be ......... trying too get my money back but they giving me problems
Did u get the money back yet
No
@@jasonmontes7653 whow... Dose it say money back garentee
CC CC no unfortunately lesson learned lol
@@jasonmontes7653 he's would loose to much money in returns lol
Like your candor. I've put down miloganite in late april here in Ga for my bermuda, we kept having crazy temp swings and my grass greened up later. Think I'm just gonna use the liquid lawn stuff as a supplement. That's what Doc was using before he created super juice.
Yeah, we just need some steady 80 degree weather for this Bermuda. It just hasn't stayed consistent here.
Right on, I just make up my own cocktail 🍸 as I see fit! Doc is way too much of a salesman and rubs me the wrong way.
