Fertilizing is important, but if you put down too much or too little
product – you will not get the correct results (and you could jack up the
lawn and environment) So here is a comprehensive vid to tell you “How Much
Fertlizer To Put On The Lawn” http://youtu.be/qMJf4m82VcI

maybe a stupid question but without some sort of a scale, how do i know how
many pounds im using? i have just fertilized my lawn with scotts
winterguard and i know that its 2.5lbs per 1000sqft but im not sure if i
actually used 2.5lbs. its a 12.5lb bag so should i buy a scale and see how
many lbs are left in the bag. sorry if its a stupid question but ive really
been trying hard to get this down to a science and i dont wanna get lazy.
thanks for your vids too, amazing job your doing helping

I get it at Home Depot – but some states don’t allow it due to supposed
heavy metals that are in it. If this is the case, you can use Ringer
organic fertillizer and get just as good of results

Identifying your turf type is very important so I would cut out a small
chunk, roots and all, and take that to your local university extension
office – they can ID for you.

I get it at Home Depot, but it is outlawed in some states. If you can’t
find it, get Ringer Organic instead

Great tip he made to use an organic fertilizer. Let’s get away from all
these chemicals we are poisoning our environment with.

You can use the Milorganite – it will work great for you. Instead of
starting in late March like I do, you can start in mid-Feb.

It’s not a stupid question at all – the fact that you want to do it right
actually makes you smarter than a lot of folks who just “spray and pray” :)
You can use a bathroom scale and a bucket to get pretty close at first –
however, once you understand your spreader settings, walking speed and
overlap, you can just go and be fine. It’s like a golf swing – muscle
memory take ahold after you do it alot. Follow?

I expect you to do the job you are paid for…regardless of the wage. You
made that agreement when you signed the job application.

@locomotive123 thats because they hire seasonal people for the garden dept
to help by mostly lifting heavy bags and such for the people who shop
there, their actual knowledge of gardens isn’t considered in their
employment really

ALSO! FOR A BEATIFUL GREEN YARD IN THE WINTER… PLANT WINTER RYE IN LATE
SEPTEMBER. PEOPLE THAT SEE MY YARD GLOWING GREEN WHEN THE WHOLE
NEIGHBORHOOD IS YELLOW ARE AMAZED. ANNUAL RYE IS MUCH MORE PRETTY THAN
PERRINIAL ALSO.

If you use the wrong fertilizer it will cause you more grief than using
none. So do your own homework.

Or you could use compost tea so that you can save money and the environment.
