I have to use a hose end sprayer for my lawn. I attach the hose to a 32 ounce spray bottle. My yard is about 23,000 square feet. How much water should I use per ounce of the liquid fertilizer? Or, is it necessary to dilute the fertilizer at all if I'm using a hose end sprayer? Thank you.
TurfgrassPro 28 - 0 - 0 is not recommended to be used in a hose end application. The first thing you need to know when using a product such as TurfgrassPro 28 - 0 - 0 is that the exact amount of water you dilute it with is not important. It is only important to make sure you are using the correct amount of product per 1,000 sq ft of lawn. Use too much and your risk damaging your lawn, use too little and you will not get adequate results. You will need to use 4-9 oz. per 1000 ft. sq. for Cool Season grass and 6-12 oz. per 1000 ft. sq. for Warm Season grass. To decide how much water to use, you should mark a 1000 sq ft area, fill your sprayer with water ONLY, and start walking and spraying just as if you were doing the actual application. When you are done walking and spraying the 1000 sq ft area note how much water it took you to spray that area, and that is the amount you will want to mix. You will need to make sure treated areas are irrigated with at least 1/2 inch of water (either rainfall or by sprinkler) following the application.
