What is best fertilizer for bermuda grass
Best Fertilizer for Bermuda Grass - Spring Jump Start
hey guys it's doc and today I'm gonna
talk about my secret sauce to get your
lawn going quickly in the springtime
hold on hey guys today I'm gonna show
you a little secret mix that I use in my
lawn to really jumpstart it early this
can be used on just about any lawn I
have Bermuda but you can use it on any
lawn but before I do that I'm going to
show you something real quick two things
number one there's a reason why you
should subscribe to our channel click
the subscribe button but and then also
when you go to our channel you'll see a
little bill next to the subscribe button
click the bell and it'll notify you
that's the only way nowadays you get
notified when we put up a new video
because I kind of ton of videos coming
up let me give an example look at this
soil test kiss soil test digital kit
rapid soil test whew the professional
versions I'm gonna do it's something I
like to do I like to go and actually buy
these things and actually review them
for you and let you know how I think
that they work so that's a video that
I'll be doing I think I'm gonna do that
video next week for you I'll do a soil
test out here so that's one reason why I
like to subscribe like I said we've got
ton of videos coming out I got tree
plantings I got all kinds of stuff so
click the subscribe button next let's
talk about when I do this video there
are gonna be a handful of people out
there that hate is there gonna be a
handful of people out there that say you
shouldn't be putting phosphorus on your
lawn that is really a web myth because
of some articles that are out there that
there was this theory about runoff and
pollution and I'm gonna put a link down
in the description if you read this link
and after reading this link you don't
believe use you don't completely
understand the effects of phosphorus and
what it how it's good for a lawn and how
it does not pollute and runoff then
you're not too bright because it was a
fantastic I was searching insertion a
search and this is the best read I have
found on phosphorus in lawns and doesn't
run off no it does not run off basically
because as soon as it enters into the
soil it actually the actual soil
actually traps the phosphorus
immediately and it cannot be released
the only way it can be released is
if you have soil erosion that's it it's
the only way you can get off and the
only way to prevent soil erosion is
through a thick lawn through nitrogen
phosphorus and potassium
now phosphorus is the middle number
remember that you got nitrogen
phosphorus and potassium that's that
middle number so what I'm doing today is
I'm putting a general fertilizer all
over my lawn in a ratio of about a of
about a twenty or twenty-five five ten
somewhere around there I'm doing this in
a spray form because this is springtime
and we'll have times where we get tons
of shower heavy showers I don't and I've
scouted my lawn i've scalped my lawn so
i don't want to put granular out here
cuz there's a good chance i make it
runoff it makes out all that granular
may wash down and into my drainage areas
what i want to do is is i'm gonna come
out here I want to put dye on my
fertilizer do my special mix and then
what I'll probably do is I'll wait 24
hours and then I'm gonna go ahead and
I'm gonna maybe run my sprinkler system
a little bit just to work it into the
soil that way if I get a heavy rain I
know it's already into the soil it's
already in there there's a reason why my
lawn is almost completely green I'd say
80% of my lawn is green all the
neighbors are pretty much dead brown
still there's a little bit of green
showing up and this is why because I've
already fertilized it about two weeks
ago and now I'm gonna push it a little
bit more light coats light coats like
coats every two to three weeks I'm
putting a light coat of fertilizer out
here on a constant basis in the
springtime then I'll go to four weeks
then I'll go to six weeks and then I'll
probably switch over to granular anyways
so let me go ahead and show you what I'm
mixing up if you haven't watched our
bermudagrass calendar if you have a
Bermuda grass lawn make sure make sure
you watch up for mutti grass calendar so
here's my secret sauce recipe for early
Bermuda grass I've got liquid fertilizer
just liquid fertilizer is a 2903 no weed
killer in it same thing no weed killer
I'm going to full container of Miracle
Grow and regular plant food all purpose
if I'm not mistaken this is like a 24
815 or something like that and then I've
got some blonde I what I'm gonna do I'm
gonna take all of these I'm gonna mix
them up together and I am gonna apply it
to my long that is how I'm gonna push it
I'm gonna feed my lawn like a regular
plant so as you can see I've got a lot
of green coming up on my lawn already
you can see all you can see all the
green and again this is April 17th
no other lawn looks like this right
brown one green neighbor break Browns
like brown green got it alright just a
quick note I really have trouble with
some of these hos and sprayers sometimes
so that's why I like the green dye in
here because I can see when I first
started off the green dye was heavier
than when I got about halfway through
clogging or something so what I did was
this is what sprayer off of a bare
weedkiller nozzle and I kind of like the
way it mixes a little bit better so
that's one of the reasons why when
you're doing this to make sure you get a
nice even coat everything is getting
treated use the green dye and monitor
these sprayer heads don't be afraid to
swap them out it's not going to hurt me

you know why I put green - I in the
sprayer if you haven't watched the green
dye video adding green dye or adding
died of fertilizers watch that video and
you'll understand why critically
important when using a suppose ends can
hear it you can hear yard work going on
in the background someone's finally
cutting their damn grass besides me in
the neighborhood hey guys my message to
you the most important message to you
that I want to get to you today is in
the springtime you really want to be
controlled and precise about your
application of fertilizers you want to
go ahead and give it all three nutrients
but you want to do it lightly and more
often I would much rather you see see
you put one-third one-third one-third on
every two weeks every two weeks every
two weeks watching the weather knowing
that you're not gonna have a heavy rain
where you can put it on wait a couple of
weeks get some rains in between put it
on wait a couple of weeks you can really
time this with the weather and I think
that's critical rather than just relying
on one heavy granular treatment and I'm
done and you don't know what's going on
you don't know where it's actually
placed on your lawn I really like this
method this is the time where you really
don't have to worry about a lot of
burnout you're not putting fertilizer on
the middle of the summer you don't have
to worry about those kind of things so I
love this method I've done this all
along my yard always looks beautiful
show you a picture of my yard in the
summertime what it looks like
world's most beautiful Bermuda grass the
round of applause please
anyways yes I'm going
the yard crews are starting on the
neighbor's yard so I'm gonna sign off
for now
I got a bunch of videos coming out I'm
trying to do as fast as I can talk to
you later doc
