One thing I'd like everyone to understand about MLSN
Grass is alive (hopefully), so it uses nutrients. That means the nutrients in the soil go down over time. When using MLSN the way I do it, you'll make an estimate of how much the soil nutrients will go down, and from that you can get a site-specific fertilizer recommendation.
This episode is a discussion of this blog post and article: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/one-thing-i-wish-everyone-understood-about-mlsn/
Grass uses nutrients, so we can expect the soil nutrient level to be lower tomorrow than it is today. By making a prediction of the decline in soil nutrient levels for a specific time duration, one can come up with a fertilizer recommendation that ensures the grass will be supplied with all the nutrients it can use.
