I Tested the World’s CHEAPEST Liquid Fertilizer

you know what i think this is the quickest green up i've ever seen back in my bag and i got a bragg when we was down and we had nothing we had to share a meal today we're gonna apply the absolute cheapest liquid lawn fertilizer and we're not talking about any kind of like compost juice or anything like that we're talking about real deal synthetic nitrogen that will give you instant results so what we're looking at today is actually technically not even a fertilizer so fair warning if you're sensitive to using products off label then this might not be the video for you but ironically it's actually one of the most effective fertilizers that you could apply to your lawn and i bet you didn't know you could find it in your local walmart automotive section so today we're going to be looking at diesel exhaust fluid and why in my opinion it's the best kept secret in lawn care now first glance this might seem a little unusual or frankly downright dangerous but i can assure you guys that this is a hundred percent safe and your lawn is gonna love it alright guys so before you think i'm applying like gasoline to my lawn or some kind of crazy solvent i just want to ensure you guys that that's not the case that this is actually one of the most purest forms of nitrogen that you could apply to your lung so a lot of people don't realize that diesel exhaust fluid is actually made up of just two simple ingredients water and urea urea being the most common source of nitrogen that's found in almost every fertilizer on the market including granular and liquid for those of you who might be new to lawn care nitrogen is the number one most important nutrient when it comes to having a nice healthy lawn and also having a dark green lawn as the lawn care knot always says nitrogen drives the bus so another quick example of a fertilizer that contains urea is the simple lawn solution 16 4a if we take a look at the back over here we could see that a majority of the nitrogen it contains is actually urea nitrogen so the urea that's inside the simple lawn solutions is actually the same exact type of urea that's in the exhaust fluid so if you're new to my channel we're all about showing you guys results here we don't want to show you any products or hacks when it comes to lawn care if we can't prove that they work first to you so in order to demonstrate that we're gonna mark off a couple plots over here one is gonna be 250 square feet and then we're gonna have two different controls one control is gonna be sunny and one control is gonna be shady and the reason we're doing two controls is because it's hot right now it's summertime we're getting into 90 degrees and i know the sunny and shady areas are gonna play a big role in affecting our results so once we're done with this i'll show you how well worked and we can compare it against those two controls [Music] so the question is how much do we actually apply to our lawn so most of you guys are probably used to putting down a pound of nitrogen at a time when you apply your granular fertilizer but when you apply liquid fertilizers such as the diesel exhaust fluid you're not going to want to put down such a large amount of nitrogen at a time because it's in liquid form i like to compare it to like a regular tylenol and a fast-acting tylenol you're going to use much less of the fast-acting tylenol because it hits you all at once all right so let's talk numbers real quick when it comes to the diesel exhaust fluid the mpk analysis is 1500 which means that it has a total of 15 nitrogen in it which means roughly 14 and a half ounces is going to equal 0.15 pounds of nitrogen [Music] so today we're going to apply 0.15 pounds of nitrogen per thousand square feet so since this plot that we have here is 250 square feet we're going to apply roughly 4 ounces so now that we just made our application we're going to go ahead and water it in right away any time that you guys apply fertilizer that has high amounts of nitrogen you want to make sure to water it in right away because if you leave it on the grass it could potentially burn the leaves of the grass so you want to make sure you get that down into the soil all right guys so it's been a week and just as expected our test plot is definitely a lot darker than both of our controls if we take a look at it it's got this dark green emerald hue to it and i'm actually really impressed that what this diesel fluid does you know now that i'm thinking about it since it's summertime i actually think the exhaust fluid will be a good summertime fertilizer to use to spoon feed your lawn throughout the summer time just make sure you're irrigating your lawn because if you're not then you can potentially cause damage to it so what do i think about this exhaust fluid well honestly i think it creates a significant value proposition for people that are looking to get into liquid fertilizer but might be steered away due to the high prices and for a price of 650 per gallon you'll be hard-pressed to find any type of liquid fertilizer that can compete with that kind of price and what i really like about it is it just works and it works very well i tried other diy and homemade fertilizer recipes if you guys remember i did a video on jerry baker's homemade lawn tonic and that stuff is peanuts compared to this stuff so if you're looking for results and you want them fast at a good price hands down this stuff is amazing the only caveat that i could see with using a fertilizer like this is that if you're deficient in other macros and micros like phosphorus and potassium then you're going to need to supplement with other types of fertilizers to make up that deficiency but hey if you guys enjoyed this content make sure to hit that
