Yes, it sure feels cooler than what it did 2 days ago. The lawns around here are looking great so hopefully we have a nice fall for us all to enjoy it. 👍
Thanks for the comment Zach. Yes, the bag does say 6.8% slow release which, if applied at the bag rate will give you a fuzz over .5 lbs of urea which,with the cooler temps in the fall will take 3 to 4 weeks for it to be used up. During the summer months, or anything above 75 degrees for an extended period of time will evaporate that urea quickly so it has to be watered in when temps are higher This product with the ammonical nitrogen and being applied this time of year, in this video, I'm calling that the fast release. Then we get into conversions and things that make things boring and stuff. Its a good product for someone wanting to throw down some fert without wanting all the guess work. I've been holding off here in Northwest Ohio hoping for some rain before I apply this. Hopefully in a week or so!!!
@@brodygoalie thanks for the insight. When I was collecting information for this video, the 3 winterizers I looked at sta green, the scotts winterguard, and the menards fall food had the 32 0 10. There is a Greenview fall lawn food that has a bit more K and the Anderson has 14% k which might be a better option if your potassium levels need a bump. Great insight and thanks for the comment.
Cant believe it took this long to find this channel. Immediately subscribed! Hailing from NWO myself, I'll be following closely. I just finished an overseeding on my front lawn. Would this winterguard be safe to put on or shoud I just stick with a starter fertilizer? Thought I could kill two birds with one stone.
Thanks for supporting the channel and subscribing !!! Personally, I would use the starter fertilizer and then the winterguard 4 to 6 weeks after applying the starter fert.
Just found your Channel. I have a question for you. Can I put grub X down at the same time I put the Scotts winter guard down? I am in south suburbs of Chicagoland. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the question Mary. Yes you can apply those at the same time and the grub x should be watered in slightly so if you don't have an irrigation system, just plan the applications around rain..about 1/4 inch. You will want to get the grubx down soon but I always recommend not applying anything for grubs unless absolutely necessary. Good luck and thanks for the comment
@@SOMETHINGWITHSETH i thought so too , the green Max was 5 off , only 1 of those small hole in bag but bought that too lol..GL on the front yard !!! We had similar issue , I took a wheelbarrow, filled it with the clumped soil ..kinda broke it up"even had to add a lil water " then laid it back down. did a few loads a day , then in spring used a hard rake /garden weasel and it worked out pretty good
@@robturner7853 thanks for the insight. I'm debating on whether or not I should kill that front lawn off, level it in the spring, and seed the whole thing with midnight kentucky bluegrass and some perennial rye. We'll see what I come up with. Or maybe i should get some input from all of you viewers in an upcoming video?? 🤔
@@SOMETHINGWITHSETH def have some work ahead ,whatever u decide im sure will turn out well...Ive always done lawn stuff kinda by the book with my "out of the box" mentality lol...I am however in that transition zone living in coastal Va..."lucky" I guess 🤣
Thanks for the question Ryan. If applied at the bag rate, Jonathan Green Fall/Winter fertilizer will give you .33 lbs of N per 1000 sq ft. If you're not wanting tons of top growth, that product would be good in the fall. I'm actually thinking with that low amount of nitrogen, that product would be great for late spring or early summer too with the 3% iron. Even though it says fall on it, it would be a great stress blend going into summer.
@@SOMETHINGWITHSETH Wow.. That's a good idea! And thank you for explaining the difference in Iron (Chelated vs sucrate). I hope you continue with the channel...maybe the wreck in your yard is good content for the future 😛
Thanks Ryan. I was thinking this morning maybe I should burn the front lawn and have 100% midnight kentucky bluegrass. We'll see. Thanks for the comments and I'm glad you're enjoying the channel 👍
@@johnjrkean7008 the companies make it easy but once you understand why you are applying it at certain times during the year, you can definitely use something else . Thanks for the comment and insight 👍🏻
This isn't a bad fertilizer option for in July because of the potassium. As long as you have enough water this product will work great even though it's marketed as fall lawn food.
That's correct 6.8 % of the nitrogen in the scotts winterguard is slow release. When applied at the bag rate it will give you about .5 lbs of fast release N. Which will be used in 3 or 4 weeks , about the time the slow release is starting to to used by the the turf. Not a 100% slow release bit an excellent ratio. This product is one of my favorites for cool season grasses. Especially for the home owners who only fertilize in the fall.
I would recommend the fall lawn food sometime during the month of November. I'm not a fan of weed and feed products but if you are wanting to give those fertilizer products a try, I would apply them a few weeks before the first hard frost in your area.
Are you still going to apply the Scott's winterizer to what's left of your front lawn, with the intent of still having the turf that is there a deep green?
I think the only thing I will apply to the front is liquid iron. I may decide to start over on the front lawn, killing off the existing turf and reseeding with new cultivars so with that as an option, I'm not going to fertilize the front . Thanks for the comment and continued support of the channel 👍🏻
Thanks for the comment and insight. What fertilizer do you prefer to use in the fall ? I like to do a quick release in early fall for a couple applications and will typically use the slower release later on for my last fall application.
@@SOMETHINGWITHSETH My lawn is weed free, no dandelion or crabgrass, so there is no need to use any "weed & feed". What I apply now in the fall season is 10-10-10 granules for root growth before winter. Water it in after applying.
the Nitrogen % doesn't matter, its the pounds on the ground you apply. 1.6lbs of this fert per 1000 sq feet gives you 0.5lbs lbs N/1000 sq ft / if you applied 3.1lbs it would give you 1lbs N/1000 sq ft - a 32% N analysis just takes less product to apply rates than one with 10% N
@@UrbanDadLife2024 Yes that's true, if you weigh the fertilizer and calculate. My comment was for the DIYers who follow the spreader settings on the bag. I never follow the bag rate and get best results when I spoon feed the lawn and adjust per rain / weather. Many people burned out their lawns during drought by applying per bag settings. 32% nitrogen is not needed in fall.
A lawn expert told me you’re not supposed to put any significant amount of nitrogen down after Memorial Day. It leads to disease later in the year and for the Spring.

Nice work Seth. Fall came quick here, 90 degrees 2 days ago, barely 60 today..have a great weekend
Yes, it sure feels cooler than what it did 2 days ago. The lawns around here are looking great so hopefully we have a nice fall for us all to enjoy it. 👍
It's actually primarily a fast release nitrogen product. Out of the 32% available nitrogen, only 6.8% is slow release.

I believe the nitrogen of 32 is very high and the third number is a bit low compared to other winter fertilizers

Wow! You told me about the Watermain breaking but I had no idea of the severity. That really did a number on your lawn! You’ll get it back.
Dustin, I could respond to this comment in a number of ways. I choose the easiest. " YOU BET YOUR SWEET GRASS I WILL."

That's too bad about your front lawn. Hopefully you can get it looking normal next spring.
Not sure what the plans are in the front lawn. Maybe a 65% midnight KBG with some perennial rye and Jumpstart kentucky bluegrass

You MUST have phosphorus in the fall. How do you not know that?
My soil here in NWO has plenty of phosphorus. The black swamp area.

That scotts is not a slow release one 6% is slowing release it's on the back of the bag

So there is 2 scotts winterguard weed and feed and scotts fall lawn food. Which goes first or what month do you suggest?
I would recommend the fall lawn food sometime during the month of November. I'm not a fan of weed and feed products but if you are wanting to give those fertilizer products a try, I would apply them a few weeks before the first hard frost in your area.

I fried my front lawn
Sorry to hear you fried your front lawn. How much of this product did you apply ?
Do you mow the lawn first then apply this or apply first then mow ?
Go ahead and mow the lawn and apply the fertilizer after mowing.
