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

You may be better drinking the beer and urinating on your lawn, thereby
adding natural urea to it. Depending on the size of your lawn you may have
to drink a shit load of beer. Good luck.

No. The uric salts in urine attack the roots. Discolors the grass, and
inhibits growth.

That's not been my experience. Done correctly it greens up the lawn quite
nicely.

My dog's urine has been leaving large brown spots on the grass in my yard.
Think I need to up their beer intake?

I have no idea. It's worth a try.

I think it depends on location. In North Texas, wherever the dog
urinated, the bermuda grass turned green. Whereas, in CO and
NC the same dog killed the grass. CO had bluegrass and
NC tall fescue. Same dog and same feed. Maybe it's in the
water, ha!

so obviously we all need to set up a trial patch on our lawn, piss on it
every day and see what effect it has.
