- In this gardening special, Jerry takes you step-by-step through the summer gardening season, sharing his terrific tips, tricks, and tonics on regular feedings.
All I know is I had the worst lawn on the street. I purchased his book and fertilized using Scott’s 4 step program. I then apply his (crazy) formulas every year. Now people stop when driving by and ask me for my “secrets” - because they say I have the best lawn in town. And that’s the truth!
Any tips?
You give me hope lol
Finally found this channel, TG!

oh my..here I am typing to him asking a question.. so sorry he is gone..
That brings back memories. While I don't use it now I did a few years back and it works!!!
I'm so excited!! I knew there was a home made remedy for this and the companies charge so much
can beer, ammonia, liquid dish soap, liquid lawn food, molassed
Thank you Jerry for being someone we can trust. There are liars on some of the other videos so be careful guys.
Wow I need neighbor like you sir
I loved Jerry's show. That said, it sure "looks" like he's doubled the amount he is reporting. Watch him pour, does that look like 1 cup to you?
I'm a baker, and, yes, it does look like a one cup measure, maybe it's the angle of the camera that is throwing you off.
Love your idea on the fertilizer tonic. I was hoping to find out your recommendation
on the square footage to be treated with one batch of you solution. Thanks in advance for your assistance.Cheers

I think in one of the other videos, he stated it would cover 4000 sq. ft.
Flower gardening sites say that anything like sugar or molasses will lower soil ph . I guess grasses that will handle low soil ph will be fine otherwise it will be hard to get results . I thought about using this but I was told to use grass clipping tea instead . Five gallon bucket of clippings will do my whole yard & could dilute for light apps. 👌
Five gallon bucket of clippings + water?
Could you do this in the evening as well?
I’m using an Ortho Dial N Spray Hose End Sprayer… what (ounce) setting should I use? Thank you 🙏🏻
2oz is a good setting
I hope Jerry is alright! His last video was 3 years ago.! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jerry Baker died years ago. RIP master gardener.
Mr. Baker transitioned from the life we know of in March 2017 at the age of 85.
Hi Jerry My hose end sprayer (Jerry Baker) isnt mixing and dispersing the lawn mixture. I spray endlessly and the bottle doesnt reduce its contents. Will have to switch to another sprayer.
I always had a little trouble using the hose end sprayers. I did a flow test and found that I empty a 20 gallon hose end bottle in two 5 gallon buckets. I bel;eve that means I am spraying twice as much spray as I need. So I believe I need to cut the amount in the bottle by half. For me a 20 gallon bottle is a 10 gallon bottle?
beginner here. i live in WA state and moss is an annual trouble in my front lawn. My question is would it be ok to add a moss out solution to this as well when i spray? Thanks for any tips or advice.
Hard to hear you.. what was that big white bottle? Thanks. Also I use a can of soda(gingerale) instead of molasses and mouthwash and i could not find ammonia years ago so I made my own..fermented human urine.. squirrels do not like the smell thus garden survives....no lawn food required..
hey jerry i just bought a house and i want my lawn to be the greenest on the block i live in reno nevada im going to try this trick you just showed me so ill be giving you some feedback thankx
Jerry, 20+ years ago, I saw u on PBS. I did exactly as you recommended. I had the best and greenest lawn in the entire neighborhood. my neighbors would say, your greening me..hahaha..they wanted to know my secret. Never told them...thanks again.

The Divided States of America. Something so small your neighbor asked of you to beautify your neighborhood, but you provided a perfect example of being a prick from America. You sir/ma'am, deserve the douchebag award of the year! If people would share their source of info it would reciprocate back to you no doubt. Imagine it spreading around the world & watch life flourish how beautiful this world would look, not just 1 persons greedy little no secret sharing stingee ass lonely green ass house!
@@defiantlion231 good gracious...go walk on the beach! Take some deep breathes...GET OVER IT. You have to pick your battles. Sure, there are pricks in this world.....but we are talking about making a lawn more green. This guy isn’t refusing to perform CPR! Direct your wrath towards larger problems, man....like drug cartels, human traffickers, China’s oppression and homocide. Smh.
@@truthseeker9688 Drug cartels, human traffickers lol exaggerate much? 😂 take a chill pill! You are way over the top.
I'm looking for a recommendation for the liquid lawn food, please.
Formula
1 can Beer
1/2 cup Lawn food
1/2 cup Dishsoap
1 cup Household Ammonia
1/2 cup corn syrup or clear molasses
Can you use honey instead of molasses or corn syrup? Or anything else in place of it?
@@kimmiek7236 You probably can but why would you? Honey is very expensive.
Drink beer. Collect piss. Substitute. Pee contains urea, excellent source of nitrogen when it decomposes.
👏🙏
Do you have advice on dealing with Harlequin beetles? I have tried everything that I know. I've even tried 7 pesticide. I don't like using pesticides that are chemical in general, but they were devastating the complete Collard patch.
Are there gardening shows on you tube by Jerry Baker too..?
I tried your tonics with no luck. I'm not saying that they don't work because I've seen the lawns you have. My lawn is always looking yellow and no lawn at all in some areas. I sent various soil samples to a lab and discover that my soil had a very low ph. I started a limestone treatment last week. Still no dramatic effects on the lawn. I guess it takes time for the limestone to correct the soil ph. I live in a hot area and I have centipede.
Liming will take 3-6 months to raise the pH in the soil, depending on which "plant zone" you live in. But Centipede grass is a pain. Sure it doesn't need much nitrogen, however it doesn't tolerate traffic, compaction, heavy shade, or drought. Also if you get any snow where you live Centipede grass does not recover well from winter damage the following spring. Bermuda may be a better choice of turf just depending on your preferences.

@ Angel mechanical arerate and then lime. That will raise the PH faster. They now have some faster acting lime that covers 5,000 sq ft per bag. Its $15
DOES ANYONE KNOW? Since there is no lpace to buy ammonia right now...IS THERE A substitute?
I don't know where you live but the DollarTree or 99 cents Store has tons of ammonia✌🏼
@@jamess.1140 Same here.
Is it better to do it after or before applying weed and feed? I’m in Texas so weeds are a huge issue. How long should I wait to do this to my st Augustine?
Jerry passed away 4 years ago! 😥
How quickly does this usually work to green your lawn?
In a few days just like when you fertilize. But don't think this is a fertilizer replacement. Continue to fertilize as usual.
How much water do I boil the chewing tobacco in?
What setting do you use on the hose end sprayer?
My hose end sprayer displays in ounces not gallons. What would be the setting? My yard is approximately 8000 Square feet. How much finished solution would this require?
It displays ounces for measuring products that will empty after 20 gallons has passed through it. So if your product says apply 1 ounce of product per 1 gallon water for 1000 square. Ft. You would use 20 ounces of product it the cup and spray 20,000 Sq. Ft of lawn
And from what I've read it would take 2 full tanks to do 8,000 square feet
Any videos with better resolution?
How do you get rid of flees in woolen carpe?
Sprinkle with b soda or borax. Check for wool reaction before. Steam clean kills eggs and larvae. Research safe temp.
Wooden floors: Murphy's oil soap. Lemon oil.
A flea trap of a light colored pie plate or low tray with some water and a few drops of dish detergent set by a night light will attract and drown fleas.
A spritzer spray of half water/half rubbing (isopropyl)alcohol with about 7 drops of essential oil per small dollar store bottle. 4 to 8 oz? can be used to spray furniture. Use oils like tea tree, lavender, lemon grass, citronella, eucalyptus etc.
Can spray shoes with it.
A sticky type lint roller on the sofa reduces all 3 stages.
Hose sprayer with some dish detergent or Basic H to spray grass around entryways. Keep lawn mowed.
For being eaten alive by them, put some hand and body lotion and about 4 drops of sage or essential oil listed above, mix in palm and wipe lightly on ankles, a scent wipe up legs and down arms, around forehead if necessary, nape of neck, shoes or slippers to keep fleas at bay until you've vacuumed, tossed rugs and bedding in dryer or washed, etc. Fleas carry diseases you don't need.
After vacuuming, vacuum up borax and put vac bag in a garbage bag, twist tie and freeze to kill stragglers.
Hi , I shampoo my lawn using Jerry Baker
recipe to make it green and I got reverse results. After few days I felt that my lawn started get yellow. When I investigated more carefully I found a layer stayed on soil, initially I thought it is a layer of fungus but later I found that is a layer of dried foam. Is it fine? Do you have any suggestion that how can I save my lawn? Here was my recipe :
1 Cup of Baby Shampoo
1 Cup CORN SYRUP
1 Cup of Regular Cola
1 Cup of Ammonia
P.S.1 The current temperature is 70 in day but we had a two days around 87.
P.S.2 I mow the lawn two day before I applied the tonic. (1/3)
Thanks for your kind and prompt reply in advance.
Replace the corn syrup with ammonia
You do not want to add Coca-Cola LOL. Add a can of beer or just skip it. Coca-cola will damage your lawn for sure.
Based on another soil loosener/conditioner I’ve used before (a fancy version of dish soap) you need to water heavily after applying the soap so it will rinse off the foliage and into the soil. So I would skip the cola as someone else said, because that probably contributes to the foaming. And then make sure to water in the mixture if it’s still sitting atop the foliage.
He said beer, ammonia, lawn food, dish soap, molasses or clear corn syrup. Cola kills metal so I can’t see it being good for grass.
Hi Jerry, Your 'every three-week' spray for lawns has corn syrup in it and I was wondering if that would create a worse wasp problem than I already have? And will the dish soap attract ants? Thanks
Measuring huh i see who's got the antidote.
Please explain why ammonium hydroxide, found in hosehold
cleaning ammonia, will work as well as anhydrous ammonium nitrate like the
farmers spray, or urea? I've watched two videos now of people who
have followed your recipe and claim there was no result at all. Thanks,
Mason
Ammonium hydroxide evaporates very quickly and probably doesn't allow for sufficient uptake in the grass. However, if you do a simple metathesis reaction with Epsom salt you'll get a much better result. If you dissolve Epsom salt (MgSO4) in water and add ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) you'll get ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) and Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2). Since the magnesium hydroxide is highly insoluble, it will precipitate out of solution(will make the solution milky but it is easily filtered with cheesecloth or an old shirt or even a coffee filter) leaving you with a solution of ammonium sulfate which is a salt (it will just be dissolved) rather than a volatile liquid. It will serve you much better and allow for proper uptake in the grass. Just a word of warning, the sulfate in the solution will acidify the soil (which is not necessarily a bad thing)...but it can be overdone.
@@usmguy1234
That’s not metathesis.
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt but it is a salt methasis aka double displacement reaction.
How much of this mixture per gallon in a backpack sprayer?
Divide the solution by 20 and multiply that by the amount of gallons of your tank.
Can I put the recipe on 24 hours before a rain
Is this tonic to be used year round?
Who has actually tried this?
yes many years ago and it worked really good.
jjjj
Dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wayyyyy too quiet. Had to turn my speakers all the way up to hear and even still couldn't make out everything you were saying. Speak fluidly, clearly, and with a consistent volume. Sometime you spoke up and sometime you didn't.... Slurring your words also.
You must be on a laptop. From a desk top I can hear him fine on low volume

People always trying to police others with correctedness, if you can't tell this video looks older than it was published on RUclips you dumb boob.
This guy was a nut. Be very cautious of his advise. You could lose your lawn doing this.
This was a brilliant man. Texas and USA need many more like him. RIP
