Serenade and milk together?

Post by LeftField11 » May 30th, 2017, 2:32 pm

Is there any reason not to apply Serenade and milk together? I have access to raw milk so I'm going to give it a try. My next Serenade app is coming up this week so I thought I'd just do them both at the same time. Maybe some KH too?

Thanks.

Milk has a pretty neutral ph of about 6.5. I would guess that the micros in Serenade should survive that.

I had some worries about the same thing. My approach was to use milk as a base for a batch of soil conditioner. Volumes determined by lawn size and desired application rate for the ingredients. I mixed the milk with baby shampoo, molasses, some dissolvable humic acid and dissolvable kelp powder. I sprayed that with the hose end sprayer. Apply the Serenade, Companion, or Actinovate the next day. Maybe the shampoo will help with soil penetration.

Is there any reason to apply milk with your Serenade? I feel like I should pour my cereal on my lawn right before... :o haha
