Have full access to 46-0-0. Took soil sample and was very low on potassium and put down 0-0-60 in fall. Is it too early to put down 46-0-0? Will be spraying 1lb per 2000sq ft.

If you’re greened up then go for it.

Where did you get the 46-0-0 from locally?

I’m sure site one has it. Not sure where locally though.

This is Urea Fertilizer 46-0-0, most Co-op’s will have this. Another item, Ammonium nitrate is an important fertilizer with NPK rating 34-0-0 (34% nitrogen). It is less concentrated than urea (46-0-0), giving ammonium nitrate a slight transportation disadvantage. Ammonium nitrate's advantage over urea is that it is more stable and does not rapidly lose nitrogen to the atmosphere.

Just curious…why are you going to spray it? It’s soluble enough that it can be spread and then watered in. Would pretty much do the same thing and would be a lot less work. Either way, you’re going to get a quick green up/growth response, have to mow a bunch, and then do it again in a few weeks.

Are you trying to grow some areas in or just putting something out to help with general turf growth? Why not just get a good 50+% slow release fertilizer and plan that out over the next few months to give a consistent sustained feeding release over a longer period of time?

Stabilized urea is awesome.

Because I will be spraying everything else. Spray PGR, chelated iron so might as well spray fertilizer to save time. I want to spoon feed it. Can mix it with anything I spray.

Well that makes more sense if you’ll be spraying other things….didnt know that by the question that was presented in your first post.

If you’re spraying a PGR, what height are you cutting it at and what kind of mower?

I use plenty of stabilized urea products at the golf courses I manage. We use a CoRoN product, amongst other things, when we’re spraying greens.

I have a 2653a that will be doing my cutting. Will be between 1/2 to 1inch in height of cut.

How good is your common looking with all that care?

Had a late start last year. We just built our forever home and wanted to get a head start for this year. Started spraying Celsius and Specticle Flo in Fall. For the most part it looks good considering I never fertilized yet since the move in. Just have some bare spots that need to fill in. Have another side of the yard I have yet to work on yet but that will take place in the Spring.

Sort of a thread hi-jack - when using a reel mower, I assume your yard must be SUPER level in order to not scalp various areas?

Not really. It’s a triplex mower and it has a roller in front of each reel that adjusts for uneven contours. My lawn is not level, YET. Starting to top dress with soil and sand mix to get uneven spots taken care of.
