HOW TO GET THE DARKEST GRASS PERIOD!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2022
- By far, the fastest and most effective way to get a dark green lawn is by applying iron to your grass. Grass uses iron to create chlorophyll, which ultimately gives your grass that dark green color. By using iron, fertilizer, and plant growth regulator together, you can create a dynamic mixture that turns your grass deep green in less than 24 hours.
In today's video I show you how to mix together urea, plant growth regulator (T-Nex), and iron (Feature). When mixing these ingredients together and applying them with a foliar application, you get insanely fast results.
To have the darkest lawn in the neighborhood, you definitely want to be applying iron!

😲 dude this video was great! very well shot, great flow, and very informative. thanks for sharing!🤘🏻
I use Feature and Citric and love the advice! The "before" and "after" in your case is pretty insane bc you were already dominating the turf scene there in that neighborhood.
I’m going to watch his videos at my parties just for the music. And to learn about grass of course.
I never thought about testing my water. Great video.👍
Gorgeous lawn !!
Great video. Love the comparison and control area.
Nice job with the drone capturing that perfect angle of the sun.
That's amazing. Thanks for creating this video....going to try this out.
Ive used ironite to make my grass super green, and it works!
I love the lines in your lawn. I wish my lawn guy knew how to do that with my lawn. I don’t have much lawn tho, so I’m guessing it wouldn’t even be worth it.
But your lawn looks beautiful!
your videos are just getting better and better. great info and the production is growing leaps and bounds with music and different shots etc. you could def be one of the top dog lawn tubers in no time.
Dude, thank you so much for this comment. Means a lot after how much work I've been putting into these last couple of videos. I'm glad people are noticing and I'm hoping I can continue improving with each video! Much love bro!
@@LAWNLIFE yeah I've seen a couple of your videos before but you're approaching the quality level of other big names. Keep at it you might hit big numbers soon.
@@LAWNLIFE what is the best temperature to do this 🤔 Thks in advance
@@LAWNLIFEI had come to post the same thing but difference is that this is my first video I’ve seen! Incredible video work, filming AND in post. Do you have your camera on a motorized stand, drone or is someone pacing with you? This level is usually only seen with wedding photog so it definitely captured my attn!!! So much so that I have to go rewatch a second time bc I have NOOO idea what you are been said yet. Hahahah #photoggeek #lightinggeek
Your videography is top notch as well as your lawn skills.
Thank you brother!!
Great job 👏 your lawn looks amazing 🙌🏽
Thank you Lily!!
Aye I subscribed! Your videos are very educational and entertaining, and I don't got to wait so long to get to the point! Loving the videos and it's helping my business tremendously, keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks for the kind words man! I appreciate it!! Glad I could help you out
Not sure which is more next level: your lawn or video production. You're always getting better, Jess.
When
Looking mint. Watching this video just reminded me to go ahead and do this weekend. Thanks and great video.
Thank you bro. Appreciate you always watching!
You're good at what you do bruh. Awesome stuff.
B.S.
Awesome video Jesse! Really well done bud. 🔥👊🏻
Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Glad I found you. I have a HUGE lawn that has been so-so for many years. But this year I got serious. Killed all crab grass with XLR8, fed it with Scotts, rented a plugger, then over seeded the entire thing. New grass is coming up and the lawn is already look greener with the food it's getting. 1. How long does the iron effect last? 2. Should I apply it to three week old grass that is mixed in with mature lawn? Thanks! I subbed!
I like the "before" much better. It has a warm tone.
nice. great info on citric acid and the pH tester!
Excellent video, will be trying this soon
Dude I have been using Ferromec my supplier here has it on hand it’s like 40 bucks for 2.5 gallons and max rate is 8 oz. Per k you can literally watch it darken your lawn. Plus it’s 15-0-0. Your videos are awesome keep them coming.
I have been eyeing FeRROMEC 15-0-0. Do you just use it as your fert application as well? The price and amount of coverage seems insane. The container says up to 160,000 sq ft? At full application, that would get me 17 applications! Ideally I want to go to spoon feeding next year. My lawn has looked great with the Yard Mastery Flagshp granular and using the micronutrients. Wanting to get a backpack sprayer and move to spraying/spoon feeding and the savings just look insane here. What are your thoughts on it so far?
Thanks I’ll try those techniques
So well done. Gotta try this!!!
Wake up......
that control area came in clutch
Sounds good, lawn looks great. I will give the product a try.
Dudes a SCAMMER.....
I literally just finished spraying this exact same formula (no citric acid though) and was shocked when I saw this video appear. Perfect timing! Great video!
How'd it turn out for you??
@@LAWNLIFE Funny you should ask - the wife just commented about how green the lawn is looking just a few short hours later. I think it's definitely a winning combination.
@@LG-cz4hb my man! Yeah it's insane how well this combo works together. I love that it's almost instant. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice video bro, keep it up!
Do this shit for a living man and I gotta say you know your stuff man
Already subscribed to you a minute ago and enjoy your videos
Always be teaching me a thing or two with more than 15 year’s experience
Thanks brother
Very well done video. Informative and complete without dragging on and on. Thanks
B.S. ....that dude knows NOTHING!!!....
Hi Bro , thanks a lot for this proven video! You’re great as your lawn as well! I’m convinced with line hook and sinker!
I’ll keep this in mind when time to use it. Lawn not green, beside regular water and fertilizer, iron is needed it. Feature , 6-0-0 It has been proven by “Lawn life” !!! 👍👍👍
Some sweet new editing skills going on! Enjoyed that one and just bought myself a ph reader
Thanks, I'm putting a little more effort into the videos these days. Hopefully this is what you can expect going forward with most videos! pH meter is a must if you're putting down iron
Check out the before and after at the end as it pans across with the split screen. It worked so well the yard across the street is darker green. Impressive
This product and method may work perfectly. But at 5 min 51 sec into the video you can clearly see the color and effects have been altered to make it seem that the yard is greener. Not cool. Stuff like this is why so many people still can’t go to RUclips or google with confidence that they will get true factual information. Something as little as editing colors of a picture is unfortunately is misleading,lying, scamming, bullshitin, for your own gain. Nothing personal with this guy he seems like a normal dude and most likely some of his content is accurate but once I’m lied to. I have to disregard everything you have said. So frustrating
Dude you have some serious trust issues. I didn't edit anything with the color on the before and after. It was shadows causing the neighbors yard to look darker. Go to 5:54 and it looks like the grass is darker on the left when the shadows come into play. Don't come on here accusing me of falsifying things when it's not true
Have had a suspicion that the chlorine in tap-water makes the iron less effective- I have been using the water from
my dehumidifier with various liquid iron brands and get the same quick deep green-up. I have also used distilled water
and got the same results. Will definitely try adding citric acid to the next batch. This is a great community and I appreciate
all the work that you put into your videos.
To get rid of the chlorine in the tap water, if you think it's impacting your results, put it in an open container and let it sit out for a day or so before using it. The chlorine will dissipate. It's a trick with sourdough bread baking so the chlorine in the tap water doesn't kill the good bacteria and yeast in the starter.👍
Collect rain water.
There is no way I'm going to pay extra money to buy distilled water to spray it on my lawn, when I have tap water at home. The only bottled water that I'm paying for is my drinking water, not distilled water to put on my grass. When it rains, what are you going to do? Rainwater has contaminants from all the pollutants in the air, and there's nothing you can do about it because it's an act of God. You might as well go on and use tap water, since you're already paying for it anyway.
Nice edit dude!
Wooooohooo lawn is on🔥
Thanks bro! I'm loving these new cultivars!!
perhaps you should first run a Sun Joe with the dethatcher - run it east/ west then north/south on your lawn to help remove all of the ole dead grass n crap before applying your fertilizer ! A well raked lawn always looks greener
You should mix with a low acid ferlizer like 21-7-7 for additional boost instead of needing citric.
Just bought 5-3lb bags of feature. Same shipping cost for 1 or 5 bags. Can't wait to try it
did you get it from I want Feature?
@@josholsen1146 Yes, I paid $22 per bag and just noticed it's down to $20
Great video. Thank you for the insight. Will adding PGR or Urea to this mixture affect the pH? Similarly if you correct the pH after adding these will that adversely affect the PGR or Urea. Thanks again.
You’re the only lawn RUclipsr who is actually providing real information. I’ve been commenting on other “lawn iron” videos when people complain it doesn’t work.
You don’t need natural adjuvant or to try another brand. It all depends on the pH of the mixed solution for foliar absorption.
Thank you for spreading this info man! 👏
Yeah it took a few apps of it "not working" for me also before I did some research on the pH. Absolute game changer once you figure that out. Thanks for watching and the kind words man!
I would totally agree with that. That’s why you need a ph tester which I have, but I bet many people don’t. Great comment
I would have to disagree Jesse is the only one, but I’m glad you found him. Hopefully more folks break out of the lawn care echo chamber on RUclips.
I've never been more excited to learn about lawn care in my life! My #1 favorite channel by far!!!
@@LAWNLIFE This is the kind of info I've been looking for. If only I could kill the wild violets in my yard , I sprayed them last year and they were gone now there back! It's like there's bulbs in the yard
May try this. I use lime. It's cheap. Its easy to spread (granules) and you can not overuse. I put down three applications a year and each application is under $20. My grass is unbelievably dark lush green.
This was an awesome video!
Thank you so much Kelly! I appreciate you watching!
New subscriber and enjoying the vids so far! I don’t have a backpack sprayer but I do have a fogger/mister. Any disadvantages to using this vs. a sprayer? Thanks
Liquid iron user here (summer time mainly). Plus Sunniland 24-0-11 (summer 50% slow release fert) I use has 6% iron. I spray to one side (switch hands) so I don't walk through the product. I'm going to try that Feature Iron to see how it works. Always looking to experiment with new products. Plus the cost of the product seems to be a good bang for the buck. Subscribed.
NEW TO IRON HERE..WHAT'S THE CHALLENGE OF WALKING THRU IT ?
@@matthewpolo227 Liquid iron gets absorbed through the grass blades and sheath- walking on it might remove the
spray before it has time to have any effect.
@@SUBDIVIDED DOES THIS NEED TO BE WATERED IN ?..@5 MIN IN VID HE SAYS WATER IN BUT IT'S A SPRAY NOT GRANULAR ?- THANKS
Your videos are becoming more professionals by the upload. Great job on this one with the edits, graphics, b-role (not too much) and content.
Thank you for noticing. I've been putting a lot more effort into these lately. Hopefully it's sustainable 😂
Really great video! Actually forgot it was YT, haha. What editing software do you use?
My wife and I are looking for advice on lawn treatment and I enjoyed your video Your outro was cool too! Very Clint Eastwood "Gran Torino" Lol!
🤣🤣 that's what I was going for!
Hey man, great video, couple questions though: when you said you had high pH because you have hard water, are you taking that mix water straight from hot water tank? And if so, are you running a water softener upstream of that? I ask because my experience with hard water out here is that its hard because it has so much iron in it, so you might be doing more work than you need. Just a thought, if your regular cold tap water is also a high pH then don't worry about nothing.
Like the vid though,
Awesome video! Like… really well done!
Thanks Chuck. A lot of hours went into this one lol
I watch this every morning
I feel sorry 4u..........
😢@@prsguitars42
hey, i stumbled upon your video. my lawn is in very bad shape. its dry, thin and have bald spots. i found your information to be very useful. i was going to run a dethatcher, aerator and overseed and your video changed all that. Is it still a good time to do the nitrogen boost. I am buying ammonium nitrate as u suggested.
also the ph tester a plus my ph from tap water is over 8 so used the citric acid and works great.
Nice Job and love your channel! By the way I had a dog who adored named Emmitt:
☀Great video!! Iron did a great job on the greenup. 😎
Thanks for watching man. Iron is a must in the summer!
@@LAWNLIFE what is the MAX temp you find where Liq iron doesnt hurt the turf?
I found over 85f..it dings the turf....
Feature is my goto fert for a quick boost but I only foliar spray when temps are below 80. Above 80, I flood spray since I have no irrigation and it will burn if low humidity and dry soil. Use a 30 gal tank sprayer and a 6ft boom towed behind the tractor to put it down. 10lbs last year and probably the same this year. Good stuff and thanks for letting me know about it Jessie
Pro tip, if you use feature by itself it won't burn. Even in hot temps 👍 thanks for watching man!
@@LAWNLIFE Thanks for the tip. Feature contains 6% nitrogen derived from Ammonium Sulfate. It will burn my lawn if foliar applied and not watered in if temps are above 80% and ground and air is dry. Watering in is impractical because there's just too much yard. The only way I can apply it under these condition is to mix is to flood apply it, like 100Gal/lb/10k sq/ft or about 3lbs/Acre... 6lbs in cool weather.
Also.. Flodding takes a bit longer to show results, but the effect lasts much longer.
@@njphil1279 6% N in 2 oz of product is barely any nitrogen at all. I apply 0.2 POUNDS of nitrogen in foliar applications without watering it in and it does not burn the lawn. It will not burn in your case. But you're doing it the absolute safe way. Nothing wrong with that if it's working for you
Great man !!
Gonna try it.thnx.
That’s awesome. Love the humor😂
You've got a great channel.
Great information.
Any suggestions for folks up in Canada?
Great job. Reagrds from Poland
Poland? WOW. Thanks for tuning in man!
Nice video production quality! I like the results of iron too, but man, it just doesn't last very long. How long have you seen yours last?
😉You must be the most "hated" guy in the neighborhood!!! And THAT is a complement to those of us who love our lawns, right? Thanks for this.
Thank you . Knollege and your delivery respect.
Hey buddy I’m from Sydney love watching your videos quick question can I use this for Buffalo sapphire.
Great video & pH info. Feature says"If your tap water is high pH, above 8-9+, then I would suggest using citric
acid or Ammonium sulfate to drop the pH a bit prior to adding FEature if
your tap water is in the 7 range there is a good chance FEature will drop
the water pH down to around 5.5 on its own as it has citric acid and
Ammonium sulfate in it." Keep up the helpful content!
Where did you read this?
Dude, lawn care is not physics that requires a physicist to formulate and examine a specialized water in a laboratory to put on the grass. That's extreme! Lawn care is not that complex and strategic, It's very simple. When it comes to grass, water is water. Everything else is nonsense because you're not going to drink it. Do you think grass can tell the difference if it's getting pure Evian, Fiji bottled water or tap water from the faucet? No, because it's grass and grasses are not selective of the kind of water it gets, as long as its water.
@@slimdude2011 try spraying iron with a high pH and let me know how it goes for you
Your content is ON POINT. What state do you live in
Dude, that: Get out of my lawn, I love it so much.👍😎
How often can I apply this product? Thank you, just subscribed
Chlorophyll, more like borophyll 😂
6:00 made my head expl9de! Outstanding idea.
Your lawn is beautiful, is that kbg and where did you buy it
Foliar applications are best done right after the dew has dried off or just after the break of evening. This is the time that stomates, known as stomata, are open. Just as pores act in our skin, so too do stomata in the epidermis of leaves.
Awesome!
Very informative video thanks. I just recently bought a home on a little over an acre that's a mixture of st. Augustine, Kentucky blue grass and bahia so it's interesting to find what's good for one may not be good for the other.
Nice!!!
How often do you apply?
Once a month?
IF YOU WERE LYING, YOU'D BE READY FOR HOLLYWOOD, THANKS FOR KEEPING IT REAL , SOLDIER 🙋🏾
Since you’re spraying and it might be hard to tell where you’ve sprayed and where you haven’t, would you consider adding a dye to the solution?
You think your neighbors think you are crazy. Try wearing a cape and mask on your front lawn Jessie 😂. Great job man. Lawn looks incredible 👍💚🦸
Hahaha... You've had quite the journey this year already. I'm glad you're back though. Thanks for the kind words!
Good video 👍🏻
Thanks for always watching Ron!
Great info, my question to you is there anything that will kill watergrass not not regular grass, my lawn is mainly fescue?
One tip... Iron reacts with Belgium block and turns it to a nasty rust color and it will NEVER come off. Granular might be the way to go if you don't feel like be super careful with that sprayer full of minerals.
Feature doesn't stain 😉
How did you get the outside grass to pop so much darker seen in your drone shot at the 16-second mark Jesse? Is that a different cultivar compared to the rest of the lawn in the center?
Beautiful
I use to say the same thing
I live in CO. Thoughts on how often you fertilize and if you’re a organic vs. synthetic. Thanks!
Joe. I noticed you had a few questions on different videos. Email me at lawnlifewithjesse@gmail.com and I'll try to help you with as much as I can in one email
Great advice as always, my understanding is “and I’m happy to be corrected” grass does not absorb moisture, the roots do, so no point in the iron mixture sitting on the blades of grass, as it needs to soak into the ground for the roots to absorb, would it be a good idea to cut the grass short to help get the mixture to the soil?
If you're using a liquid iron, no it doesn't need to be watered in, but if you're using a granular iron then yes, it needs to be watered to the soil.
Impressive
Beast!
Grass science 💪
Amazing
Do you do the same mixture (last two products added) every application if not how often?
Great job on the directions. I'm going to do this as you laid out. I'm going to add PGR as you discussed. Question: Do you think adding a surfactant would help or hurt the process? I cut the lawn today. Going to do all this tomorrow. Big Thanks
Adding a surfactant will definitely help as it's a foliar application. There were already so many things going into this, I didn't want to make it even more complicated
Surfactants I believe are a crucial component with anything you spray! Pesticides, herbicides, you name it. Surfactants along with aeration are also great for breaking up thatch, fairy rings and drainage. We have 5 acres of finish lawn (tall fescue, no irrigation) so detaching isn't an option. Along with liquid iron I add bulk bags of Epsom salt (magnesium) for an extra kick!
What is your opinion about using Milorganite because it has 6% iron? It does not have the 6% iron every year. It seems like every other year you can find Milorganite with iron.
Great video, amazing work!!! What is the name of the song played in the intro?
Hey I just sprayed the liquid iron on my lawn today 5/21/2024. Almost to the 4 hour period of sitting on lawn. Is it ok to have it on there for more than 4 hours before watering? Also how often do you apply this to lawn? I bought the iron you used and i have the mixer with drill motor and scale. The chapin back pack sprayer I bought is pump and not electric. It is a lot more work pumping to keep spray pattern the same throughout the lawn.
Dat drone shot in the intro tho...😂
Video production and lawn, both top notch man!!
Bro thank you so much for letting me use your photo. You lawn is un-f*cking-real. Still jealous about how deep of a green you get. Iron can't even catch me up lol
@@LAWNLIFE your color is INSANE!! The iron level in my native soil is off the charts, so I'm basically cheating. I don't even need to apply it lol
How do you get those alternating color rows up and down the lawn?? Thanks!
lmao, yes i would do the liquid application but I don't know about strapping up in the PPE and having people think i'm crazy.
