[SOIL AMENDMENTS] How to [FIX an UGLY LAWN] | Golf Course Lawn RENOVATION
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- Soil amendments are an important part of how to fix an ugly lawn. In this video series, we show the results of the soil test performed in the last video. Fixing the soil (soil amendments) involves applying the appropriate macronutrients and micronutrients your lawn to bring the levels to where they need to be. Alex's lawn had good pH levels so we didn't need to add lime or sulphur to to adjust it. This step is very important for renovating your ugly lawn into a golf course lawn. In part 5 of the series we discuss the results of Alex's MySoil test and then apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to improve the environment for his golf course lawn.
Because his micronutrient levels were low, we also applied Brandt Supreme Green to boost his iron and magnesium levels. Between the granular fertilizer application and the liquid micronutrient we're applying a great lawn care soil amendment package to improve the health of his soil. The granular fertilizer was applied using an Earthway spreader while the liquid micronutrient was applied with a Chapin backpack sprayer.
We chose to use the online soil testing kit from MySoil which uses an ion exchange resin to simulate plant roots. This method of nutrient uptake is much closer to what's actually happening. on your lawn vs. the traditional methods of crushing or drying a soil sample. My Soil's testing process measures what's actually available to your turf grass. This makes it a better option for soil testing. It allows you to more accurately amend any deficiencies in your soil.
By measuring the levels of nitrogen in the soil, phosphorus in the soil and potassium in the soil, you'll know exactly what type of fertilizer is the best fit for you particular lawn. You will also learn what the PH level of your soil is and will be given recommendations on whether to apply lime or sulphur to restore the proper balance. This soil test also measures the amount of micronutrients in your soil such as iron, magnesium and zinc.
Our goal is to improve his lawn over this season by implementing a serious lawn care program. We'll transform his ugly lawn to a golf course lawn. My hope is that this series will be help to any home owners wanting to do the same thing with their lawn.

It’s official. My favorite channel!
Thanks so much K9. That's really nice of you to say. I appreciate you choosing to watch the content. Let me know if I can help with anything.
The dynamic duo, it’s so awesome to see diversity. Well deserved recognition.
We're having a lot of fun Carlos. Thanks for watching the content!
Ron. Great series!!!
I dont typically subscribe only after a few views, but....
You are the best lawn care channel on youtube!
KWB thanks so much! I really appreciate you trusting me with a small bit of your time. Will do my best to keep producing useful and fun content. Let me know if I can help with anything. 😎👍
Alex is on his way to greatness!
He most certainly is Jay! He's doing the work. 😎👍
I love watching this series because it reminds me of how I was 3 years ago. You should have Alex talk about what he's learning and hoping for!
Great comment AmandanLeeLoo. It's something I'll ask him and see if it's something he's interested in doing. 😎👍
☀️Great video! Yes, Alex was very careful pouring the fert in the hopper, great job! 👍 Bring on the rain!
Agreed Sunny Bermuda! He did a great job. I'm looking forward to seeing how the lawn turns out.
Hey I'm from Mableton (with a Bermuda yard). I love the channel and appreciate your tips. It's great to follow a fellow Atlantan in working on the yard. Thanks for all you do buddy!
Awesome! Thank you Jesse. Georgia is a great area for growing warm season grass. Thanks for following the content. I really appreciate it.
Another terrific video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the music! Great content and info. Checked back at some older videos and loved that info as well! Maybe one day we will get some Ron Henry fitness videos and t-shirts 👍
You guys actually want t-shirts? I don't know about fitness videos. Lot's of people more qualified than me have that one well-covered. :-)
I'm pretty happy with the N-EXT Microgreene 0-0-2 product. It should correct micros with the exception of your boron and calcium and also has humic acid and kelp which never hurts. It seems pricey but 5 gallons @ 150 bucks will do about 10 apps on a lawn under 10k sq ft. There are plenty of box store options to get calcium up. Bone meal will help with calcium and your phos. There are also plenty of gysum products out there that do not raise or lower ph and add calcium. You can actually use borax (yep the stuff you add to your washer) to help with the boron. It only takes a few teaspoons per 1000 but if using a sprayer i would probably mix it with water first shake real good and strain it before adding so you don't clog your sprayer. Us lawn nuts can benefit from using the rest of the borax in the washing machine after a hard day of topdressing... LOL. ph is perfect and that can never be permanently corrected so that's great! I can't believe that everything in the soil test is lacking and yet the bermuda still looks pretty.. pretty.. pretty... goood.
Thanks for the detailed comment Matt. Like you, I'm impressed at how the lawn is looking despite the soil test results. Can you imagine once we correct all of them? It will be awesome. Great tip on the borax. I'll look into it. Overall I'm really happy with how his lawn is progressing.
@@RonHenry Yep really shows how important just that mower is with bermuda.
Definitely Matt. The mower is at least 80% of the result.
We are enjoying these..please don't stop
Thanks so much for watching the content Terry. I really appreciate it. Glad that you guys are getting value from it.
I'm loving this series!😍 So if you do happen to spill fertilizer on your lawn, you can always shop vac as much of it up as you can. This has worked for me in the past, and the best part is, no burning.
You're one of my favorite RUclipsr's. Keep up the great work!
Very true Dave. Great tip about the shop vac. If at all possible you want to avoid spilling fert on the lawn in the first place. The first thing a lot of people thing to do is put water on it which is just making the problem worse. That's why I always give the warning of don't refill the hopper on the lawn. Thanks for watching sir. 🙏😎
Okay so now that I’ve watched your channel for about a month. I’ve started watching several in a row. It’s very uncommon of me. So it’s safe to say I’ve become a fan. Keep it uploaded and I’ll keep watching. By the way don’t actually know your background but you editing skills are fantastic.
Hi Steven. Glad the content is interesting enough to keep you watching. Thanks for the kind words about the edit. I’ve been working hard over the past year to improve the quality of the content. RUclips is becoming more and more competitive so have to do all I can to stand out a bit. Really appreciate you watching.
This is an awesome channel
Thanks so much Frazzle. I really appreciate it. I'm glad you guys are getting some value and entertainment out of the content. Let me know if I can help with anything. 👍😎
Great video. Recommend wearing safety glasses & mask when using sprayer. 😁
Most definitely Theromiles. You want to keep the product out of your eyes if at all possible. Good call.
A decent tip when spreading is to stop the spreader turn 90 turn it on make your steps turn off turn 90 then turn on. The inside of the turn doesnt spread as wide and cause burning spots on your turns. Now obviously this isnt the hottest fert so it shoudlnt matter, but if your using a hotter fert it definitely can burn on the turns. I know from personal experience and my bosses where really not happy that i got lazy.
Thanks for the tips sir. It's a great idea.
Nice series to watch, have to say I am surprised though at how little, or actually not a single word, you mention the importance of regular watering is needed on a healthy lawn. Especially shortly after fertilising!
Thanks for the comment Daniel. Bermuda doesn't really need that much water. 1 - 1.5" per week is all that's required for this type of grass. We've been getting quite a bit of rain in Georgia, so there really hasn't been a lot of need to water. I'll release a video on watering in the upcoming weeks though.
Peace Ron, I usually use SiteOne's soil test.
I gotta get one of those soil kits! Looking forward to the results from this application. Love watching this series!
Thanks so much Jason. Glad that you're enjoying the series. The goal is to show a process that pretty much anyone can follow to get good results. Let me know if I can help with anything. 👍😎
Great video!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Leo. Alex's lawn is really coming along nicely! 👍😎
This soil test for me would be the best ever! You get to hit it with just about everything 😂 were gonna see some good results especially because his pH is good... hey, Ive been micro feeding this yr after the initial app to “juice it up” with great results..I would suggest micro dosing his lawn if not you guys know what your doing. Thanks!
BermudaLawnNC a result of "give it everything" definitely makes product selection easier. 😂We're going to continue to use Brandt Supreme Green, Milo and starter fert to continue improving the soil over time. It'll get there. 😎
very cool...look forward to seeing his fall (post season) soil test results to see the gains over these next couple months.
You and me both Frankie. The amendments should move the lawn in the right direction. Let's hope! 😎
I’m looking forward to the results...I’m going to to do another soil test this fall after doing my first this past January to see how my lawn program faired this season.
Great Video Ron 😷👍🏽
Thanks Wize Guy. We'll test again in a few months and see how the amendments work. The lawn is already looking really good. It'll look even that much better once the soil is better shape. That's the goal. 👍😎
Great work helping out your neighbor I been following along for a while now. Keep up the great content!
Awesome Raul! Thank you so much. Alex is doing all the hard work. I'm just offering suggestions. It really comes down to regular mowing.
@@RonHenry true and those suggestions are key when someone is trying to get on track.🤙
That's the goal Raul. Trying to help others see what's possible by documenting the process.
Great job! can't wait to see the results in the coming weeks!
You and me both William! Really looking forward to seeing how the lawn turns out. He's putting in the work!
Enjoying series. At the very end, I heard you say river sand. Are you going to screen that sand? Last year I used river sand on my lawn and it was a rough consistency of sand and very small pebbles/grains. I wondered if the small pebbles contributed to some hots spots. Get'em Alex. It's looking good!
Hi The Lawn Apprentice. I didn't screen it when applied to my lawn. The place I get it from has pretty good consistency. Screening it will save you some some time on the backend of simply using a leveling rake. I have a video coming out on that soon. Next week since all the videos slots this week are already spoken for. If you'd like a sneak peek: ruclips.net/video/CybfhkRmxIA/видео.html 👍😎
Definitely an option S. That sounds like a pretty good blend since you're also incorporating some Milo.
the back pack spayer just magically appears on alex back.. that doesnt happen next door lol. 👍
Yes Fred. Just a snapped the fingers and magically filled and on his back. 😎
@@RonHenry ? you ever thought about overseeding your bermuda with rye grass in the winter to go green year round?
I've considered it Fred but then I'd have to deal with a transition period in the spring where the Rye is dying off and the Bermuda is coming out of dormancy. I figure easier to just deal with 1 grass type vs having them fight each other. 😎
@@RonHenry i totally agree
👍😎
Hey Ron, awesome episode. My yard is worse than your neighbor's. Could you lay out a recommended season (monthly) timeline when one should do in general? love your channel.
Heya Gaylord. It depends on what you're starting with. If you haven't yet, let's get a soil test done. www.mysoiltesting.com/shop?aff=11 While you're waiting for that to come in, we can start to get the weeds under control. I'm a big fan of manual weeding but if you're dealing with a forest, this product from Spectracide is great: amzn.to/390kHFg The elephant in the room is mowing. Regular mowing at the correct height with the correct equipment is the single most important factor for having a great looking lawn. What are you currently mowing your grass with and how frequently?
I'm pretty much following the same strategy. I was low across the board on NPK and micros. I'm doing 2 starter fert applications per year, the rest I'm using a 28-3-10. I'll do that for this season and next. At the star of 3rd season I'll retest to make sure I don't overshoot Phosphorus. Also apply liquid micros and Humic products.
Very nice Andy! What kind of results have you been getting from the starter fert and humic boosters?
@@RonHenryallyn hayne in one of his videos said at Trugreen they used to say starter fert fixes all problems 😆 I tend to agree. After years of throwing down Scott's nitrogen ferts when I finally threw down starter fert my lawn WOKE UP. Soil test doesn't lie. Humic seems to help with biological activity. Since supllementing with it I've never seen so many earthworms. Should help with soil uptake. I had some Indian Hawthorne bushes nearly die due to fungus. I've been treating them with fungicides and starter fert and Humic/sea kelp. They're coming back fast 😀
It’s very true Andy. Starter fert cures all sins. 😎 Well most of them anyways. His lawn needed a bit of everything, so starter fert was definitely called for. I’ll continue to report on how Alex’s lawn develops. Confidence is high. 👍😎
Great video ‼️. Thank you
Thanks for watching Chuck. Glad that you found it useful! 👍😎
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it _Maze_! Let me know if I can help with anything. Appreciate you watching the content.
For sure Ron,too bad we can’t post pictures here, we could show you our turf.
@@_maze_4733 can always email me. ron@ron-henry.com :-)
I’m sold, just subscribed, but my question is are you watering after each application? If so, how much should you?
Hi Raycpe44. We've been regularly getting rain so there hasn't been a need to water. That said, it's always a good idea to water granular fertilizers in. For micronutrient liquid fertilizers like Supreme Green, I allow them to dry on the grass leaf. As far as watering amount, half an inch should be sufficient for working the product down into the soil. thanks so much for subscribing. I really appreciate the support. Let me know if I can help with anything else. 👍😎
Your yard looks good already Alex, keep going. I will get my test results this week. 😬
Thanks for the kind words Eudes. Be sure to let me know about your soil test results!
Ron Henry i got my results today. Low phosphorus, iron and all micronutrients 😪
Eudes, that can be fixed. A good starter fertilizer that contains phosphorus along with a micronutrient boost should get you in a good place. Here are some good options for both. Starter fert with phosphorus: amzn.to/37JwyHe Micronutrient boost: amzn.to/2WRaPrI Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Ron Henry thank you. I will get one of those tomorrow. My Nitrogen is high, the soil test recommend 0-10-0, but i cant find it nothing with that ratio
Yeah Eudes. The Phosphorus is the one that's often difficult to find because it restricted in certain states. Let me know how it works out.
Tell your friend to throw that starter fert in the landscaping beds too, trust me 😀
Why in the landscaping beds Andy? To improve the shrubbery?
@@RonHenry yes, shrubs will love it. I have a theory that if you fertilize the beds the shrub roots won't venture into lawn roots looking for food. 🤔
Hmmmm I'd not heard that one Andy. I suppose logically it makes sense. I don't really have any plants in my beds though. I'm too lazy to take care of them. I like to work on my grass but not flower beds really. 😂👍
Could we have considered before all these fertilizers a top dressing with compost?
Yep. Applying before top dressing is a great idea Robert.
I really enjoyed the video, great 👍 series. I’m waiting on my soil test results as well. I’m a bit confused, I’ve read that summer isn’t the best time to put down fertilizers, as you normally don’t want to “push for growth” during summer. Could adding nutrients to the lawn now be considered pushing for growth?
Hi Mr Big Shot. I apply nitrogen throughout the entire growing season but to a lesser extent during the peak of summer. I use PGRs to limit top growth in the lawn. Adding micronutrients like iron, shouldn't adversely affect the lawn during summer months. It's the nitrogen that you need to watch. Hope this helps.
It all depends on the grass type. Warm season vs. Cool season.
Well said Jack. I think it's probably good advice for people that mow their lawns once every 2 weeks or right before the HOA sends them a letter. It's not good advice for people serious about having the best looking lawn possible. You want to feed your lawn when it's actively growing. Use PGRs to cut down on mowing frequency requirements and for better color. When your lawn is actively growing, it needs food. 👍😎
Ron Henry Thanks! Very helpful, I ended up needing to increase the pH as well as the nutrients, it’s been a week since I applied Lime and 10-10-10 fertilizer and my lawn is back up and greener. I also put down Milorganite and the lawn looks amazing 👍
Thank you for this great information :)
Glad it was helpful Marcel! Let me know if I can help answer anything. 👍😎
Will do 👍
👍😎
Great video, does it give how much to put down on 1,000 sf? Thanks
Yes Eric. The application rates are in the bag
When would you do another soil test?
Hi brinks128. At the end of the summer to early fall. Have you done a test recently?
*should do what (fertilize, pre-green, etc.)?
Heya Gaylord. It depends on what you're starting with. If you haven't yet, let's get a soil test done. www.mysoiltesting.com/shop?aff=11 While you're waiting for that to come in, we can start to get the weeds under control.

Regular mowing at the correct height with the correct equipment is the single most important factor for having a great looking lawn. What are you currently mowing your grass with and how frequently? Thanks for watching the content. 👍😎
Ron, I did you all weigh the amount of fertilizer you were throwing down?
I like the videos. Very informative but you never said what type of grass that is. I need to know
My mistake Dale. The grass on both my and Alex's lawn is Tifway 419 Bermuda. Mine has also been overseeded with Princess 77 and Arden 15 grass seed. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks for watching the content. I really appreciate it.
@@RonHenry thanks Ron. I figured it was to get that short a cut. I 'very never been that big a fan of Bermuda because growing up in Garner NC people always kept it long, 4 inches. I'm a fan now but way to late. I'm 60 and don't feel like starting over. My grass story started with me esging a neighbors side walk to get centipede plugs. My yard now, still in Garner, is centipede but is being taken over by zoysia I plugged. Just bought my first fiskars reel mower to try but I see right away I need a gas powered unit with an acre lot. Still figuring out the right cut for the zoysia. Great job on Alex's lawn and yours looks great. Keep it up.
You'll really enjoy the powered reel mower Dale. The quality of cut you'll get with it can't really compared to anything else. Thanks for the kind words about Alex's lawn. He did all the hard work. I just gave him a bit of advice.
Is it a must to have a reel mower to get those results? I have a zero turn that I currently use and don't see a reel mower being in my budget. Awesome content by the way.
Hi Larry. For a Bermuda, yes. Bermuda really like being cut between .5 and 1.5" Even if you can get that low with a zero turn (which I don't believe you can), the way a reel mower cuts the grass is healthier for it. It's the difference between cutting the grass with a pair of scissors vs. hacking at it with a sharp knife. All things being equal the scissors is going to do a better job cutting the grass consistently with less chance for tearing. You can pick up a pre-owned Tru Cut (like Alex's) for well under $1000. There are often great ones in the $650 - $1000 range. Thanks so much for watching the content. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
@@RonHenry thanks for the reply. Keep putting out that great content, too. Blessings
Larry White No problem at all. Happy to help out! 👍😎
Ron what about Lesco starter fertilizer? Or is Scott's the best?
Lesco will work fine too Jonathan. If you can get that locally, it's probably a bit cheaper. Another option that was recently released is this one: golfcourselawn.store/products/12-12-12-starter-fertilizer-with-3-iron-and-bio-nite%E2%84%A2-granular-lawn-fertilizer
In the third episode, you guys applied Milorganite and I'm assuming didn't improve the soil quality since the lab results showed low in the majority of the micronutrients
Hi Dioleisys. Other than iron milo doesn’t have a complete set of micronutrients. We started spraying Brandt supreme green to address the micros. Thanks for watching man.
You mentioned Burford. Are you in Georgia? :O
Yep! Just north of Buford. Are you in GA as well?
Ron.... has Alex moved up in the game and got his own sprayer and spreader? If not, I think it’s time ... he has the skillzzzz ... a guy can’t just keep borrowing his neighbors gear... even if he is “The Ron Henry”....Lol
Great videos...thanks
Heya Steve. He's still using mine which is cool with me. Lawn equipment takes up space so with me right next door, it's easy enough to simply borrow mine. I don't know about being "The Ron Henry". I just spend entirely too much time in my lawn. 👍😎
I thinks it’s cool that you are helping your neighbor .... I joke about people having their own stuff but I do know it’s expensive.
Keep up the good work!!!!
Yeah Steve. I don't mind at all. This stuff is expensive and take up space so I totally get not having every tool under the sun if you can help it. I don't even own a full size shovel. I borrowed from a friend to top dress. 😎
What kind of software are you using to edit your videos?
Hi Rick Johnson. I use Final Cut Pro X
Do you get a CEC reading with the soil test?
Hi Ned G. CEC isn't measured specifically but the ion exchange resin does measure the plant's ability to absorb nutrients from the soil based on the results produced. Hope this helps.
@@RonHenry thanks buddy!
Most welcome Ned G. Let me know if I can help with anything else!
How many pounds per 1,000 square feet of granular fertilizer were spread here? Just got back my soil test results. I need 14-14-14 to correct my 4k sq ft of bermuda lawn. Need to get application rate right.
Hi Jerpify. Which product are you using? There should be a rate on the bag that we can use as a guide. Which spreader do you have?
Going to pickup Empro 15-15-15 and will check the application rate printed on the bag then. Will be using with my Scott's edge guard deluxe which is ubiquitous on most fertilizer products.
Nice jerpify. I imagine the bag should have calibration settings for the Scotts. If it doesn’t, let me know and I’ll see about getting a conversion chart.
Imagine if the company that testa the soil teams up with a company that produces a bag with the percentages of what you're results require...
Frazzle in some way they kind of do. When you get your soil test results, MySoil includes recommendations and links to products that you can use to fix the issues in the results. They make it super easy for the DIY home lawn care enthusiast.
Ron - new subscriber here. May I ask, are these products specifically designed for warm season grass? I live in NJ, and I have KBG. Thank You Sir.
Hi Mills. Thanks so much for subscribing. I appreciate the support. The products shown in this series can be used on cool season grass as well without issue. Based on your soil test results, we'll be able to determine which product(s) are the best fit for what's going on in your soil. KBG is a really nice grass. It can look amazing once it's properly fed. If you need a soil test, I like the kit from MySoil: www.mysoiltesting.com/shop?aff=11 Let me know if I can help with anything else and Welcome! 👍😎
Ron Henry Ok thank you. I’ll give them a tried. 👍
Nice Mills. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Ron Henry - will do! Thank You 🙏🏻
👍😎
Should I get an Flowzone or Milwaukee sprayer? I already have Milwaukee batteries. I been seeing good reviews on both but yours seems to spray well. What do you suggest?
Hi Lincoln. I've not used either of those sprayers so I can't say for sure. If you already have batteries for the Milwaukee, that's a compelling reason to use that one. That said, I only have 1 battery for my Chapin and it's been working very well so far. amzn.to/2IxJxlk I really like mine, but I wouldn't say to get rid of the one you have for this one if you're happy with it. One advantage to the Chapin is there are lots of options for booms and tips since it's a pretty common sprayer. I think it represents pretty good value for money. Hope this helps.
@@RonHenry Thanks!
@@lincolnproject8013 no problem! Glad to help.
Results
Yessir. Results video.
I just put down 5 gallons of Humic12 on an acre. lol
Good lord. I bet that was a workout Adam. :-) Nice work
I have a tow behind sprayer and put an entire jug in 30 gallons, and just went over it twice. So far I’ve used 2 1/2 gallons of rgs, 2 1/2 of Air8, 750 pounds of lime, 200 pounds of carbon, and the 5 gallons of rgs. I can already see the difference in my clay soil. It was a literal cow pasture when we built the house. Its been rough but its dark green and thickening up.
If you want to hear some news i nerd’d out on... I had pulled about forty 4” plugs in my lawn to help with my bare spots. I threw the old plugs away. They were bare clay so out they go. I’m filling the spot i took the plug from with sand and peat. Right now theres water in the plugs with humic floating in them. This made me excited. Lol. That means the carbon is getting into the subsurface as well, i hope.
Very cool Adam. You’re really making a lot of changes to your lawn. A lot of work but it’ll be worth it. Nice work.
Thank you very much Mr Henry. I appreciate your help along the way. Your videos have definitely helped along the way. After watching your top dressing video i i can admit i need to rent some equipment to just get it knocked out. After doing some research i can rent a walk behind loader for a single Saturday and keep it till Monday vs the whole weekend which is significantly more for just one day. Sunday is a day off here so they won’t come pick up the machine. Again, thanks for the input and thanks for the videos. They really are helping people.
