Grass Food

[Mike]

I saw a program the other day that spoke about using a can of beer and some
other household ingredients, mixing them and using the sprayer container
with the hose to feed the lawn. Does anyone have any recipes that may work
and if so, can they list the ingredients and how much per square feet? I'm
in NJ.

Thanks,
Mike

Sounds like you were watching Jerry Baker. That guy sure does cook up
some crazy concoctions.

I've had reasonable success getting a quick green-up using whatever
brand liquid spray fertilizers the local hardware or box store happens
to have on sale. IME the greening effect doesn't last long.

In some cases spraying an Iron/trace mix will have a dramatic effect as
well, results vary dramatically depending on your soil type & it's
deficiencies, if any.

Expensive taste buds.

Look up the Jerry Baker web site...he has some of his recipes there. I have
used them for a few years with great success. Especially the ammonia based
recipes
