If you do not tell how many sq. ft. of coverage your formula is designed for, it is a worthless recipe. You will get the improper amount of Nitrogen to your grass using household ammonia because you don't know the concentration of Nitrogen like you do with store bought fertilizers. Store bought fertilizers tell you the concentration of Nitrogen and the sq. ft. of coverage for a desired affect.
