T-Nex, LESCO CarbonPro-L,
and Brandt Supreme Green
to my golf course lawn.
Let's see the results.

Hey YouTube, welcome to
"Private Golf Course Lawn",
season five.
Well, if you guys have
been following my channel,
you know that just three days ago,
in preparation for the 4th of July,
I applied T-Nex, CarbonPro-L,
and some Brandt Supreme Green
to my golf course lawn.
Now typically, when you
apply T-Nex to your lawn,
one issue or side effect
that you get from it
is you get a glazing or
bronzing to the turf.
So one of the suggestions that I got
from one of the viewers was saying,
"Hey, try adding a splash of
iron, a little bit of nitrogen,
"and seeing if that helps."
So that's what I've done.
So to make this test as
unscientifically scientific
as possible, I have applied
those products to the lawn,
and I've also not mowed.
So what you're seeing
is, literally the lawn
as it's been for three days.
I haven't mowed it, I
haven't done anything to it.
Been kinda rough, you guys know how I am,
but that's what I've
been doing to the turf.
So let's take a look at it
and let you guys decide.
So again, lawn hasn't
been mowed for three days,
and what you're looking at
here is Brandt Supreme Green
at a third rate.
So normally that product is
applied at three to six ounces
per thousand square feet.
I've only applied it at two ounces,
just for that little
bit of tiny iron kick,
and a little bit of nitrogen
to go with the T-Nex.
The T-Nex I applied at full
rate, which is .38 ounces
per thousand square
feet, for my grass type,
which is a Tifway 19 blend,
with Princess 77 and Arden 15.
And then finally, I applied
the LESCO CarbonPro-L,
which is the carbon soil
amendment technology
that Mirimichi Green makes
for LESCO at full rate,
which is, for the
maintenance it's one ounce
per thousand square feet.
So you guys tell me,
what do you guys think?
I mean overall, I think
it actually works, guys.
I mean, there might be a
slight, a very, very slight
yellowish sheen to it.
I mean, almost looks kind
of copperish, but overall,
it's definitely better
than it's been in the past.
I think that looks really good.
Let me take you guys around
at a different angle,
so you can see how the sun hits the grass.
at a different angle,
and you guys tell me.
Overall, I think it works, guys.
I think that adding
that little iron kicker
and little bit of
nitrogen to the T-Nex app,
definitely improved the situation.
And again, I didn't mow
it, because oftentimes
one way you can get rid of the
bronzing is to mow the lawn.
So I said, "Well, instead of, if I mow it,
"then how do I know
which one really worked?
"How do I know if it was
the adding that a little bit
"of nitrogen and iron, or
just by my mowing it normally,
that got rid of the bronzing?"
So none of that's been done.
So all you're seeing here is
literally just the results
of the products that I applied.
Let me take you guys
around front so you guys
can see how that is coming along.
Again, overall guys, really good.
I mean, the grass hasn't
really been growing.
I didn't let it get all
the way out of regulation.
So I didn't have that bounce-back effect
that you often get when PGRs fall off.
You guys can see the vanity strip.
I mean, look at it, just oh.
Just take a moment, and
just appreciate that
That's gorgeous.
Come around here to the front lawn,
and also looking pretty good.
Again guys, if anything very slight,
particularly in the lines where the grass
is going away from us, you can see,
like here, here, here, there
might be a slight amount
of bronzing.
I mean, I'm talking about just a, yeah,
just a tiny amount, but overall,
I think it definitely helped.
It definitely didn't hurt things.
Vanity strip 2.0, you guys can see that.
That's looking really good.
But yeah guys, overall, I
think we're gonna have to call
that a success.
So if you're looking for an
option for applying T-Nex,
that's gonna also prevent that bronzing,
I think that adding a little bit of iron,
and a little bit of nitrogen
just might be the thing
to do the trick.
So there you go, guys.
One last look at the back lawn.
I'm gonna call that a success.
In my book, that looks a lot better.
I know how the lawn's looked in the past
when I've applied T-Nex, and
I'm not seeing the yellowing
that I normally see, so
I'm gonna call this good,
But you guys let me know.
Leave a comment below.
As promised, I did film the
update you guys wanted to see,
the 4th of July blend, what kind of effect
it would make on the turd,
and more importantly,
if that blend was a good solution
for getting rid of, or
preventing yellowing
after applying T-Nex.
And I think it did, but again,
you guys let me know what you guys think.
You let me know what you guys think.
Again guys, thank you
guys so much for watching.
I look forward to hearing
what you guys have to say
in the comments.
If we don't talk before
then, have an awesome,
fun, and safe 4th of July.
And I will see you guys next time.
Have an amazing day.
