Thank you LM. Makes so much sense. I'm guessing that if, for example, you find that it took 2 gallons of water to cover your yard you would then use 6 ounces of chemical in that 2 gallons IF the label says 3 ounces of chem per gal, per 1000 sf correct?
Do you follow a program or anything to know when to apply your liquids? I’m a new home owner and I am wanting my lawn in top shape? Any recommendation or somewhere to find a schedule? Thanks!
I usually follow a spoon feeding approach for fertilizers where I apply around a quarter pound of Nitrogen every 2-3 weeks. The other nutrients are kind of as the lawn needs it, when I see it 😊 the Yard Mastery app has a built in Program with reminders to help people know when you apply! Maybe check that out
How wide is the are induction tip? Is it a fan spray of 4-8 ft? I have 58,000 sq ft of yard and trying to figure out how to spray it with a backpack sprayer. Thanks!!! :)
Man, that's a lot of work to calibrate. Just spray for 1 minute into a container, measure the ozs, and divide that into 128. This will give you the amount of time in minutes/seconds to spray 1 gallon. 128 / 64 = 2 minutes to spray 1 gallon. Did you measure 50 ozs in 1 minute? 128 / 50 = 2.56 minutes to spray 1 gallon on 1000 sq ft. Adjust your walking speed according to flow rate although let's face it, backpack sprayers are designed to spray 0.4 to 0.5 gpm at a normal human walking pace. But if you want to fine tune it, see how long it takes to walk 200 feet. For me its 1 minute. Fan width is 2.5 feet so 200 feet x 2.5 feet = 500. That means I cover 500 sq ft feet in 1 minute and have applied 0.5 gallons of liquid at a flow rate of 0.5 gpm. My back yard is 2000 sq ft. and I cover that in 4 minutes using exactly 2 gallons (0.5 gpm x 4 minutes).
@@TheLawnMentor I guess they would rather walk up and down their yard counting steps than sit in the nice air-conditioned comfort of their home with pencil and paper and calculator! The other thing is, you have to calibrate for each tip you use, so that means walking all that distance over and over for each tip you use. Do the math and you calibrate 3 tips in less than 5 minutes at home in the cool air!!
Calibrating is a pain. Your advice here is easy, but that initial spray of just water is so annoying. LOL
It’s truly dreadful!
Well done, I think calibrating is the biggest pain in the lawn community. 😎🌴👊
Lots of people don’t do it, but it ought to be just plain simple!
u made my life so much easier thank you

Great tips Kyle!
Thanks Justin!

As an accountant I demand precision dang it. I want ounces soldier!! Wait. It’s your video. Carry on 😆

I suppose the width is all relative to how high off the ground you hold the tip 😀 the angle is 110 I believe though
Where did you get the dispensing cap/spout screwed on the bio-stim gallon jug? Thanks
I made a video on the channel about it - Amazon. Links in that description
@@TheLawnMentor Found it! Thanks!
My pleasure! I had fun making that one
What's treadmill?.my wife calls that thing I hang my clothes on "the treadmill"
Nice vid...
Lol you and me both!!!
@@TheLawnMentor no accommodation with a gym needed in October
Jungle gym? Maybe I wanna play you never know
Isn't a tread mill used to hang clothes on? I don't get it... 🤣🤣
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Lol

Most people don’t want to do that math
