How often should you use these products?
I have the Air-8, RGS & Humic Acid.
I've applied the Air-8 once a month so far and applied the others just two weeks ago.
Homeowner price and it's (2) oz per 1,000 sq. ft. for the first application followed by (1) oz per 1,000 sq. ft. per month or every time fertilizer is applied
I have 10K square feet of lawn so:
RGS at 3oz per K = 4.3 applications for $88 (free shipping) or $20+ an application
Lesco at 2 oz per K, then 1 oz afterward = 11.8 applications for $134 (local pickup)or $11+ an application
I think I did that correctly. I guess the proof is in the results!

He is doing the math for 1 gallon to make a direct comparison to 1 gallon of the Lesco product. Actually, he will get 12.8 applications (128/10) and his cost will be $10.47 per application (134/12.8).

I really hope this is not the price. This is crazy the money companies are trying to make putting cheap products in a bottle for you. I hope people just support N Ext instead of this.

Yeah your right. I blew past the cost and was just focused on the Lesco stuff. I don't know where he got the $88 from, but it looks like maybe he's using the Bio-Stimulant kit price.

That's where my money is - on the N-Ext products. Who knows, it could be a rebranded RGS product from Green County. I'm already invested in their RGS, GreeNe Effect and Humic 12.
Lesco price is ridiculously high and they nail the homeowner every time. They won't be getting my money even at the business cost because N-Ext is so much cheaper for 5 gallons.
While we're comparing biostimulant costs. MicroGreene has 8% humic/2% kelp versus RGS at 6%/3%, respectively. I'm entertaining the idea of using just MicroGreene for both kelp and micros. In that case I can replace FEature and add humic/kelp to the routine and get a bit of cost savings. Label rates are far higher on MicroGreene so comparing cost per app using those rates would be higher. However, I plan on simply spoon feeding 3-6oz/1k on a regular basis instead. EDIT: I was looking at blackout rates. Looks like normal rates are 1-2gal/acre (roughly 3-6oz/1k), the same rate as RGS.
I'm doing some test plots next year with a wider range of products before I do this, though. I'd like to compare liquid humic with granular HumicDG from Anderson's. If efficacy is even roughly equivalent with granular, the cost per app would blow GCF products out of the water. More on that to come...
Well it appears from youtube that Paul for domy own.com has joined forces with John Perry as an employee of Greene County Fertilizer. There will be more videos on do it yourself applications using the Greene County Fertilizer.
I will try Air 8 & RGS this season. I will try to update my lawn journal with the good and bad from those products. I don't expect much if anything the first year though. We shall see.
I just went to go buy some product to find that none of the N-Ext products can be shipped to California anymore? Does anyone know what happened or if it's going to be available to California in the future? It doesn't look like Carbon-X is going to be available to us either. I'm so bummed right now.
In California and Hawaii, these products are classified as PGR's. As such, they are subject to all kinds of testing and verification similar to what Primo had to go through.

Can you get Simple Gro Solutions stuff there? They have a liquid kelp/humic/fulvic acid, lots of fertilizer products, I think a thatch product (or that might be lawn star).
I honestly don't know. Air-8 and Dethatch seems to work where I've had issues in the past, but I don't know about the Humic and RGS. More time will tell I suppose?
Has any one developed a full blown plan for fescue using n-ext products and care to share? I am skeptical but I went a head and bought a bio stim pack. I put down the first application Sunday. I am curious about the seeding package.......and incorporating it into a program. My trouble is I have already invested in my seed, starter, and next round of fertilizer. I am going to go with Pete at gci 's suggestion of starter (my granular) RGS and Humic 12 at seeding.
Bigdrumnc, any special reason why you are going with RGS and Humic 12 instead of Air8? I kind of though air8 would be a good choice at seeding.
