Thank you Pete! I consider myself a math person, but it wasn’t until you said “finished solution” that it all clicked for me. I appreciate the time and effort you put into teaching the DIY lawn community.
No need to apologize. Even those of us that have been watching for years and already know all of this, found this video entertaining. We appreciate you Pete!
Ladies might be in class, but I'm over here taking notes. Great info!! 👍🏽Keeping it simple for the simple person.
Listen and take notes, he has helped me a ton, and always answers my emails..
Pete, as a career educator, you did an awesome job teaching. I hope a follow-up video is next with Tammy and Sadie measuring off 1000 sq ft and spraying a gallon of water. Get that walking pace down. The hands-on step reinforces your first lesson. LOL Awesome video my friend and explains well. I am sure you have helped many with this one.
This guy is so helpful he didn't keep this on his lawn program (which I bought) he just puts it on utube for free..... Talk about helping the common man!
Thanks, Pete! You covered a lot! I just purchased my first back sprayer and feel confident about doing everything correctly now. Thanks to you!
Yes, Get them out there with the backpack next video!
Did you get them out there Pete? Have a great night man.
What a great exercise! My profession is in tax, and I often practice explaining “complicated” things in simple terms to people that aren’t in my profession. You’re a good teacher and I’m thankful that you share the knowledge that you’ve gained through all of the hard work you’ve put into your passion! My yard is looking good and a large part is due to you!
Thank you friend. I appreciate this
Watched all of your videos. This is my favorite. Great teacher. Git after em Pete!
Pete you are the man , you break down the basics of mixing per 1000 square feet and really help me understand how to calculate the mixing before I spray too much product and waste it !
Love the idea of 1/2 gallon per 1k, never thought about it that way. I feel 1 gallon provides adequate foliar coverage, only concern I’d have going 1/2 gallon is if I speed up my pace I’d apply too light of a foliar spray and get a weak application. Will test run the 1/2 gallon method with PGR. Thanks for the tip! 👍
Great information Pete. Thanks for all you do for DIYers!
This is a great refresher course!!! Thank you Pete!!!
Seriously you are the best Pete so happy I found this channel.
I’m glad you found it as well friend
Great video Pete! Looking forward to seeing the ladies getting out there and applying what they learned! 😎
I never get tired of sprayer celebrations, and spraying yards! Good stuff lady's!
Ladies
Love the office renovation
Really appreciate your videos, they are so informative!
I just ordered a typhoon from you :-) I am soo excited! Love all that you do!
get them girls out spraying!!! Love the lawn snob comment. Definitly helpful to have them be involved in this, because they ask questions from the DIY perspective. And when Petes explaining things....he's doing it from years of applicators experience. Great stuff here Pete. We can all learn something every day. Just have to invest the time. They called ya on the "simple math" comment too...LOL> You had to back out of that one pretty quick. Nice tap dance. Have a great weekend. Ive got PGR to put down today, and you have reminded me that NOW is the time to treat for the 4th of July "pop".
Great video thank you GCI
I love this video!!! I’ve learned a lot!!! Thank you
Ladies are like, this guy is nuts. We’re like, this guy is the second coming.
I love you Pete. lol I'm about to buy the Bermuda Guide, I'm wondering if I would need the renovation guide too. I'm about to start lawn care and maintenance in Oklahoma as a business and for my family to get practice. I want to be an expert and bless my area with nice-looking lawns. Just got out of the military this year and excited to start in business. God bless you, brother!!!
His girls in the office are really good and get right back with me from my email question. Thank you girls!
So cool! I have a bo staff I talk to as well!
Great information! I’ve been using a 2 gallon battery powered sprayer for 2 seasons now. I have 6000 sq Ft of centipede broken down into 3 2000 sq Ft sections. At 1 gallon per 1000 I have to refill and mix 3 times to do the entire yard. I ordered your Flow Zone Cyclone 4 gallon sprayer today. My goal is to learn to do the entire lawn with one filling. If I’ve understand this, I should use 1/2 gallon per 1000 sq Ft. With my 6000 sq Ft lawn I would use 3 gallons of water/product to do the entire 6000 sq Ft? Looking forward to the Flow Zone!
Thanks Pete!
I married a “Math Nut” and she was pumped about this one! Appreciate all you do Pete
Thanks Pete! Perfect timing as I was explaining this to a good friend earlier today! Just shared this video with him via email! 🇺🇸💪
Definitely need to know the #’s Pete. Cup=8oz. Pint=16oz. Quart=32oz. 1/2 gallon=64oz. gallon=128oz. Then there’s the amount your sprayer is applying per 1000 or acre of water. I’ve been at this for 32 years. Did I completely understand how to calibrate 32 years ago ? I’ll tell you I depended on help from my suppliers back then. I’ve learned a lot in my 32 years. I’ve helped some of my competitors that I’m friends with to get their spray rates right.

Great video...I’m always a fan of the barebones basic 101 of turf care.
Hey Pete, I know you are stretched pretty thin but have you ever thought about teaching a 1 day or 1/2 day class. I’m sure you could pack the house with the local DIYs in the TRIAD. I’d sign up “fo sho!”.
I appreciate you man!
@Pete none of us are experts that’s why we are relying on you and god to help us get it done!
I REALLY need to test the nozzle that you sent me for my My4Sons sprayer so that MAYBE... I can ACCURATELY and evenly cover my 10Ksf in 8 gallons.
Humic and RGS, I'm at 1 gallon per 1Ksf.
Bifen, herbicides and fungicides... I've covered in 8 gallons. Most likely, because I can't see the product on the ground, I'm leaving untreated turf in between passes... but IDK for sure.
Have a blessed evening and Friday.
Add u a lil bit of food coloring it'll help you see where your spraying better 😉
“YOU GONNA LEARN TODAY!”
Great stuff, just ordered my typhoon 2.5 from your site today. Before watching your calibration videos today, I was just doing 1 gallon/1,000 with the right amount of product but then once I hit 4,000 square feet (front yard) and still had finished solution I would just go back over the same 4,000 area in a different walking pattern. I guess it sort of works although maybe I’m applying heavier in certain areas than others using this method?
As long as your second time around you get over the entire Len your good
We gon learn today
Good job Pete! You could have went one step further to add how an individual could figure out their pace-or how to estimate how long it takes them to cover a 1000sf since everyone’s sprayer and spray tip is different. They could fill their sprayer with water, one gallon or as many gallons as their sprayer holds. Next spray while walking at their preferred pace and spray the water on a dry driveway,sidewalk,or road to cover a measured 1000 square feet with water. Now they know how many minutes it takes to spray per 1000 sf.
Alright, alright, alright!
Where do we find the information on pressure settings and nozzle? What pressure setting and nozzle are you using for the half gallon per 1000 at an average walking pace? Is there a different set up for foliar spray vs soil spray? Thanks Pete
I still spray the way pete taught years ago using the 1quart method so I can cover 16,000sqf with 4gallon sprayers plus 105e and his nozzle, don't know what I'll do if the nozzle screws up
This way works as well
I need to see it written down
That lady in the distance is a looker. Available? 😋. Good vid sir!
Make your mind up let’s go🤣🤣
I bet you had to buy them a nice lunch for this one 🤣🤣
🤣 I sure did!
U mow 3 times then you can start spraying weed, does this include pre-emergent?
I watched this video drinking my grass soda :)
What i found out about your sprayer nozzle, not the edging nozzle ...but the other one ... it sprayes large droplets that don't hit everything, the edging one has a finer spray .... is mine a reject nozzle or what?
No sir. They both should spray as you have described.
Good stuff Pete... is there going to be a test?
Ha ha. They probably would refuse to take it 😂
If I didn’t already know how to do it I’d follow your direction. Rom. 8:28
First Aussie 😁
Thanks, please may we have this in metric? Keep the Europeans and UK happy. Don’t forget the US gallon is smaller than a UK gallon 😀
Wouldn't it be much easier than you described? Follow the directions per 1000 sq ft. Put in the amount of product you want for the sq footage you are covering in one trip, then just fill the backpack up and use it all evenly on that area. Only measure the product.
Nothing like physically doing it too learn. Maybe take them out 1 at a time and have them watch you. Let them measure and mix.
My lawn looks like crap on the liquid program I know you won't answer this.
Lol. Jim. Why would you think I wouldn’t answer this? To my knowledge you live close to me. I think I met you at the shop one day. To my knowledge you did a full Reno last year. If you recall it’s been incredibly HOT and DRY in our area. Crazy weather for sure. Water is key during periods like this. How much water have you been applying to your lawn the past 60 days? I hope I have the right Jim A...if I don’t I apologize sir. Yes
@@GCITurf went with your move Tenacity grass looks better this year do to you help me out alot just put summer lawn food fertilizer here in Illinois getting yard up to power for reseed so I want to try your fecsue that you like the most I want thick rich dark green had alot of shade front yard back yard is zoysia spreading good full sun there mostly.
@@GCITurf I'll send you a email with pics for your comment and recommendations this weekend.
@@fusfea sounds good sir. I’ll be looking for it
How many inches in a smoot? ...look up the story behind the smoot if you don't already know it - it's kinda' fun. :)
Yo!
Yo yo! GEORGE!!!! You LATE BRO!!! 😂
@@GCITurf 🤣🤣 Have a great night man.
6th. Grrr
The whole thing is confusing
Hi George,
I sent an email to tee jet about the best tip for doing grass, and this was her reply.
what's your thoughts on this one?
would recommend the AITX Cone Jet. The cap for that nozzle would be CP114444-1-CE.
