Re: Fall Nitrogen Regimens
I have patches that were seeded in the last 3 weeks. Any harm in doing the Fall Nitrogen Regimen over them? (Urea)

Re: Alternative to Fall Nitrogen Regimen
So just to confirm, the Fall Nitrogen Regimen you drop 1 lb of Urea per 1000 sq ft every week... So the riskier approach is 2lb of Urea per 1000 sq ft every other week. So I'll drop 10 lb on my 5000 sq ft lawn. Please check my math! haha. I think this is also the "bag rate" on the Lesco packaging.

Re: Alternative to Fall Nitrogen Regimen
Not a bad idea with doing a section at a time. My yard is only 5000 sq feet. Alternatively if I did the double dose every other week, I could perhaps remove a slight chance of mistakes by making 2 passes at a lower does rather than 1, since the actual spreading doesn't taking a lot of time.

Re: Alternative to Fall Nitrogen Regimen
Green and Andy, thanks for your well thought out responses. Obviously the Fall Nitrogen Regimen is the top standard, and I've gotten great results with it in years past. Now that I have young kids timing everything is so much more difficult so it's really puts a damper on my ability to follow the st...

Re: Alternative to Fall Nitrogen Regimen
Yeah, that's kind of what I'm looking at for those of us who can't do a Urea app every week for whatever reason. What's the next best thing. Urea every other week? Or a different type of fertilizer, such as a slow release fall fertilizer at Labor Day...

Re: Alternative to Fall Nitrogen Regimen
The warning about watering Urea in is noted. So what's the alternative if you can't make weekly apps of Urea, but still want to fertilize in the fall to winter?

Alternative to Fall Nitrogen Regimen
I realize the Fall Nitrogen Regimen is the best plan for fall and wintering fertilizer, but the weekly apps can come with some constraints for people who travel, have small kids that suck time/attention, don't have proper irrigation, etc. I WILL be picking up a bag of Urea on the way home to continu...

Re: Urea source
Updating, found it for $36 at SiteOne. So much cheaper than the $50 at the garden center.

Re: Fall Nitrogen Regimens
SiteOne near me has it for $36 a bag... so better than the garden center at $50. Not quite Feed Mill prices but I also don't want to drive all the way to a Feed Mill.

Spurge in my Cracks
Prostate Spurge is out of control in the cracks in my driveway this year. I used to be really good at keeping the cracks clean with RoundUp but ever since the press about it being a carcinogen I've greatly reduced my use (whether or not that's a racial decision). What is the best way to take out Spu...

Re: Fall Nitrogen Regimens
How much is a 50lb bag of Urea going for this year in your area? It's now up to $50 where I live!! Yikes.

Cool, that's what I've done randomly in the past with my broadcast spreader when I've had fertilizer left over.

Re: Deep Root Injection Fertilizing
Haha, sorry to give you a headache.... I use 13-13-13 on my yard and sporadically give it to my trees as well. Is the best way to apply it in mulched area (under arborvitae for example) just to use a broadcast spreader at the same setting as I do my lawn?

Deep Root Injection Fertilizing
I recently received this advertisement for Deep Root Fertilizing this November. Some of my newer trees in the past few years could use a boost, specifically my Weeping Norway Spruce that is looking quite frail/sparse... my older arborvitaes (20 years old) are starting to thin out... so this service ...
