It's awesome that you're not afraid to show your lawns imperfections and how you go about fixing them.. and actually show the RESULTS of the process. Great video and transformation man!
This IS true! I took your advice last year using this I purchased at Sam's Club. My lawn went from green to Emerald green in Michigan. Incredible and very inexpensive!!
I live in panhandle of texas it was 96 degrees last week of September. Going to drop in 80s first week in October. The cold will probably set in mid to late October. Not sure conditions allow me to do this.
@@robertlevy4613 thanks for the info. Days get shorter and if it ever decides to cool down grass stops growing. As you know its been horribly hot and dry this year i Texas and September was mid to upper 90s. But We might be in 70s this week near Lubbock.
I started with Blue Def last month. Amazing green grass has been the result. Even used it on a renovation which has grown crazy fast. Thanks for the info on Blue Def!
I just did my first round of this last week based on your video from last year and I am MIND BLOWN. Now it’s time to try that Ammonium Sulfate. Great video George!
I wish I knew about this method earlier this year, during the spring... for us Warm Season grass guys, it would've been a game changer. With this info, I'll prepare for next year; time to dominate again.
The one thing you'll want to be aware of is that if you overdo it, the grass will grow like crazy and you'll have to mow a lot. Here in the Pacific Northwest (Washington State) where you get quite a lot of rain, this can be problematic as you won't be able to mow effectively due to wet grass and it can become quite a hassle. Also, note that you're effectively "charging" the grass for next spring, your lawn will be storing a lot energy for winter and it will go into "turbo" mode come next spring. So keep your lawn mower blades or reel sharpened and be ready for a sudden flush of growth.
Eastern WA here, and even though we can have dry summers on this side, you ain't kidding when you say too much wet grass growth can be a problem. The blade is so fast and easy to swap out on my push mower that I just keep a second blade sharpened and ready to swap in when the current blade shows signs of dulling. Easy to tell when that is because they don't mulch nearly as well when they're dull.
I just started a mini blitz of 0.25 lbs of ammonium sulfate every 2 weeks. I overseeded August 29th and I want to see what happens. Next year if my lawn is thick enough for me I will do 0.5 lbs biweekly.
We never do this over in Europe, we tend to stay far away from high nitrogen during fall, but I am tempted to do an experiment and see how that would work out! You can't know until you try it right?! 😁 Awesome video George!
I've noticed this as well. I live in Germany and it seems that residential lawn care is not popular here and my local "experts" recommend waiting until Spring before applying any fertilizer and stop cutting the grass in late October. I thumb my nose at them and continue taking care of my lawn until it is covered with snow...although one time last year I did mow after a very light dusting of snow.
Thanks for sharing Chris but you have to comment on the original video, this is a different video, copy and paste your comment to the other video so you can be entered
I've been watching a lot of your videos and finding them very helpful as I grow/maintain my new cool season lawn which was hydroseeded in May. It had tons of weeds in it. Got rid of most of them with 2 applications of tenacity. An application of quinclorac cleared out the rest. Now I'm focusing on thickening up the grass and filling the dead spots. Some new weeds are popping up so I was thinking another application of tenacity and maybe I could mix it with Blue Def to fertilize at the same time. Do you think there would be any problems with mixing them in one application? Thank you!
Blitz definitely works! I'm just using Scott's Lawnfood weekly on my new 1000 sq ft side yard- and it's well on its way to quickly spreading into the harder to establish washout areas along with maturing. My main front is now a year old, and I'm hitting it with bi weekly apps. Both are lawns need mowed every three days, and are pretty much the darkest green lawn in the entire neighborhood. Definitely will do an ammonium sulfate + feature liquid app maybe 2-3 weeks before Oct 31, and then call it a wrap.
Hey if you want another lawn to do videos on that would be a whole new challenge you should get a place at Woodhaven Lakes campground. Totally different sandy soils. They have all kinds of fun for the family too! Pools, beach and a lot more.
Two kinds of fast-release N: and the DEF (urea) is very fast and probably "gone" a couple days later. but the Ammonium sulfate will stick around for a bit longer. Both are fast release; a slow-release would be good to add later, too, depending on the time of year (how late in the Fall where you live is "late"?).
Looks great. To bad I have a 1+ acre yard, and this way of applying spray would bankrupt me as well as wear my old bod out. There is no way I could get a consistent application over the lawn spraying. Heck, I's still trying to just kill all the weeds !
Love the DEF videos and I'm enjoying the podcast man. Hope all is well and you can keep making some great new content. Is the DEF method an all-season thing? I'm throwing down some of Pete's Protene next year with biostims, Feature and Fourplay. Want to just get it straight before I mess up
I was in fear for your Toes while you dethatched, you do know what that machine will do to your foot if run over for any reason while holding that trigger right? Your lawn looks great after this and some great info/advise
considering my application rates were on the conservative side, i see no reason why you cant do it now. some ppl take the blitz overboard and double the rates, i would def not rec that during spring
@@ZupE891 Spiking the Nitrogen with: Humic Acid/Kelp/Silica. I’m going to switching nitrogen this month and adding sea K/ Humic12/ RGS/ w/ Green pop. I wouldn’t be scared of working with iron, I “stained” my sidewalk with lime; but it already looking like normal and I didn’t “try “to get rid of it.
As a Jets fan, that Aaron Rodgers clip hit a little too close to home. 😂 George, do you use the spiky tines or the verticut cartridge when doing your dethatch?
Also, I have been dissolving Scotts fall fert and spraying my lawn. I did that with GreenMax too (assuming they both contain straight Urea). but its iron or something won't dissolve in warm water, so I was having to add iron to it. kinda more work to it, so DEF seems to be a great option! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and result!
I put 2.5Qts in a 4 gallon backpack sprayer then fill it with water, works great. Have you ever tried spreading chicken layer crumbles? I've had good luck with that since Milo has gotten so expensive.
George ... regarding AMS vs Urea ... for those with lower than suggested pH, it seems that using too much of AMS may not be beneficial. So for me at pH 6.1 I try to do the 8:1 (Urea to AMS) ratio. Also, that AMS you're using, prills look pretty big. No issue with uneven color afterwards? I know I like to stick with small prill size fertilizers when it comes to granular for more even coverage.
Hi James! We are good thanks for checking in 😃 Still cold here in Chicago but looks like spring will be starting up here next week, new vids coming soon
Saw you on Spencer Lawn Care (AKA Spencer Lame care) dude videos him cutting the same lawns week after week. Nothing for DYIers.....Hope to see some your vids from the EXPO..................Go Giants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok George I bought it, it was Walmart’s brand ( cheaper, cause I’m all about the bucks ) The two main ingredients with water and urethra, so, I will get back to you 👍🏻
I out a lot more on my lawn then you do, I have a pull behind sprayer i put a whole jug in and then added a jug of fresh water 50/50 basically. I haven’t had any issues and my lawn is super dark green tall fescue mowed at 3.5 inches
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I’m very pleased with the results. I’m not going to lie but I was doubtful. I sprayed my back yard since I have a privacy fence. Just in case this didn’t work. At the end I ended up with a thicker greener lawn. I’ll be doing it in the front yard now. Thank you for sharing this.
Love the content George. Can you make a video on how to clean out your backpack sprayers? Especially now that the season is over. Also maintenance between uses would be a good talking point. I’m confused on how thoroughly I need to clean between uses or between chemicals. Thanks!
Hello George Thanks for all the work you do and share, greatly appreciated. Quick question: What setting on a Scott drop spreader should I use for the ammonium sulfate? Thank you.
Good morning! im not sure what setting it would be but i would advise you to set it to the lowest possible setting and keep walking over your lawn multiple times until its emptied. This is a common best practice that will ensure you get even coverage, it may take long to spread since you have to go over it multiple times due to the slow distribution but you can be rest assured it will be spread even. Have a great day!
Great video, great content! If I put down a 28-0-3 granular fertilizer on the 29th of September at a rate of about 1 pound of N per 1000 sq ft, when would I be able to do this??
I tried this 3 weeks ago on my PETS urine stain on my tif-tuf bermuda AND IT WORKS !!! My neighbor that has the same problem asked me whats the secret 😅
Thanks man! The wheels are from the 2016 Toyota Forrunner TRD Pro. The Toyota dealership in my neighborhood had them on clearance so I scooped them up and they turned out great 👍
I love your videos sir. Quick and simple. No theatrics like other do. Are you applying the DEF and ammonia sulfate on the same day or do you have to separate them out by a few days?
If I overseeded my lawn a month ago, can I begin using this fertilizer program to finish out my fall feeding before heading into winter? I live in Ohio btw(cool season)
Hi George! Looks amazing! Quick question, can you do this if you just overseeded your lawn and applied starter fertilizer 12-12-12? I'm assuming no. TIA
Hi Keith! to answer your question.. our lawns cant feed on nitrogen once they go into domancy which is why its important to use fast release fert so it can absorb as much and as fast as possible before it goes to bed so when spring arrives, it will blast off
George, Any issues, concerns if i do fall over seeding and the fall nitrogen blitz? Thought would be to wait til new grass is up a couple inches (3-4 weeks) then start the blitz. Just didn't how if it would stress new grass. Thanks in advance for the advice Randy
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks for the quick reply! It’s a lot harder to find AMS in Ontario but I’m going to give this a try. Is this something I can do even now and during the summer months? As long as I water properly?
I'm a little confused... In this video you're mixing 10oz of Blue DEF per gal per 1,000sf. In another video of yours, your ratio mixed was 1.5 lbs per gal for 1,000sf. Which will achieve the best results?
I will be doing the dex trick and the Epson salt trick to grow the lawn. I need to also treat for weeds with MSNA +6. In what order and timing would you recommend? For application ???
George, can I use any DEF product?. Also did you use the steel blade or the cylinder with the tines on the SunJoe? I use a bungee cord to pull up the back cover of the SunJoe an inch or 2. Blows out the back more evenly, then just re-mow and bag! I'm too lazy to rake! lol
nice hack! im going to have to try that out! and yes you can use any brand of def just make sure its not the "platinum" or deluxe versions, you just want plain ol def
@Princess Cut: I'm looking for advice on grass seed for this time of year. (Mid November) I'm about 40 miles north of you near Wisconsin. I'm trenching to put downspouts under ground. And would like to get seed started to avoid erosion over the winter. What seed would start this late? Also, video idea: I found out that a lot of "contractor mix" is 80% annual seed. Maybe explain about the USDA tag showing what is really in the bag.
Great video, George! Concerning the ammonium sulfate, is there any preference to the granular version used with a spreader or the water soluble version used with a backpack sprayer?
Lay down some lime or you could also mix the ammonium sulfate in water and the adjust the PH in the mix to the correct range then apply. Lawn life has a video about that.
I am trying to eliminate Bermuda and crab grass in east Tennessee. Lawn is a mix of tall fescue and perennial rye grass. Just started the new lawn after dethatch, and scaring, cut down to lowest mower setting, what would you mix up in a back pack sprayer. starting in a week, spray it and try and over seed before it gets too cold, IDEAS? MESSAGE ME PLEASE
Use the stuff i use in this video, it will kill bermuda in tall fescue and still allow you to seed at the same time : ruclips.net/video/X_QfhxA6tJA/видео.html

Are you applying the DEF and ammonia sulfate on the same day or do you have to separate them out by a few days?
thanks so much my friend, i did each application 1 week apart from each other but you could absolutely do both at the same time without issue
Would you do anything differently during a drought? Why do you need granular and liquid? Can you just use 1 or the other? great video btw
You can use 1 or the other or mix and match, the only thing that really matters is that your consistent
When do you start this blitz? Late August/early September or wait until Fall officially starts or timing based on temperature?
If I overseeded my lawn a month ago, can I begin using this fertilizer program to finish out my fall feeding before heading into winter? I live in Ohio btw(cool season)
yes but i would use the ammonium sulfate at half rate

Why use both products? Whats the benefit of adding AMS every other week and not just continue with DEF every week, totalling 1 lb N/ month
AMS will give you a darker forest green type of color vs urea

Is this something I can do even now and during the summer months? As long as I water properly?
We need a new video m8!
coming soon my friend! working on 2 as week speak 😃
@@PrincessCutLawnCare love to hear! You’re the reason my lawn looks great
So I'm in SC with hybrid tifway bermuda can Def be use? Which in our area tkme push bermuda with fertilizer.
You sure can, Bermuda loves def, best time for you is late spring and summer
I'm a little confused... In this video you're mixing 10oz of Blue DEF per gal per 1,000sf. In another video of yours, your ratio mixed was 1.5 lbs per gal for 1,000sf. Which will achieve the best results?
between 10-20 oz per gallon of water per 1k sqft
I will be doing the dex trick and the Epson salt trick to grow the lawn. I need to also treat for weeds with MSNA +6. In what order and timing would you recommend? For application ???
Love your videos. Okay mr chemist. How much Def would i put with 2 Gallons of water? im thinking 20 ounces Thanx
George, can I use any DEF product?. Also did you use the steel blade or the cylinder with the tines on the SunJoe? I use a bungee cord to pull up the back cover of the SunJoe an inch or 2. Blows out the back more evenly, then just re-mow and bag! I'm too lazy to rake! lol
nice hack! im going to have to try that out!
and yes you can use any brand of def just make sure its not the "platinum" or deluxe versions, you just want plain ol def
@Princess Cut: I'm looking for advice on grass seed for this time of year. (Mid November) I'm about 40 miles north of you near Wisconsin. I'm trenching to put downspouts under ground. And would like to get seed started to avoid erosion over the winter. What seed would start this late?
Also, video idea: I found out that a lot of "contractor mix" is 80% annual seed. Maybe explain about the USDA tag showing what is really in the bag.
Just got some super tech DEF today for $9 at Walmart
score!
I amhaving a problem with the clover type weeds. They are taking over my yard after reseeding. How can I get rid of them?
Use this but wait until you mow the new grass a few times:

Great video, George! Concerning the ammonium sulfate, is there any preference to the granular version used with a spreader or the water soluble version used with a backpack sprayer?
appreciate that mike!
i like the granular version because you can apply more at one time but they are both great no matter the method of application
Any concerns about that aeonium sulfate lowering your soil PH? I've already got fairly acidic soil.
I’ve got the same question.
Lay down some lime or you could also mix the ammonium sulfate in water and the adjust the PH in the mix to the correct range then apply. Lawn life has a video about that.
Use urea instead of ammonium sulfate if you have acidic soil.
I have a 30 gallon Z Spray what I stick with the same math and put in 300 ounces or should I cut it in half?
I’m in Cincinnati Ohio and it’s may 7 .
When should I apply and how many time in one month
Thank you
I am trying to eliminate Bermuda and crab grass in east Tennessee. Lawn is a mix of tall fescue and perennial rye grass. Just started the new lawn after dethatch, and scaring, cut down to lowest mower setting, what would you mix up in a back pack sprayer. starting in a week, spray it and try and over seed before it gets too cold, IDEAS? MESSAGE ME PLEASE
Use the stuff i use in this video, it will kill bermuda in tall fescue and still allow you to seed at the same time : ruclips.net/video/X_QfhxA6tJA/видео.html
