I Tried THIS Product In Summer & I’m Hooked Now!

[@nealwhite1474]

I go by Pete's elite guide and also put down the stress blend. Yard looks good for this time of year. I can't wait for fall! Great vid.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Awesome Neal, thanks for watching

[@lukaszsypka4856]

Great video. I plan on trying protein for the first time this fall.

[@angelf9800]

Very nice lawn, my goal is to have a nice looking lawn like yours this fall when i reseed it.

[@monkeyslawncareandgardenin473]

We are browning up in Maryland, severe drought like conditions with heat and humidity.oh and Sandy loom freaking soil!

[@BossMan_Jerm]

Mowed at 8pm the other night and was soaked with sweat.. it’s been HOT here in NC

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Amen!!

[@finewhine1599]

Are you doing the whole neighborhood because they all look the same as your yard?

[@MrFergusonLawn]

😂 I promise you that’s not the case. Every lawn besides Mr Kevin across the street has nothing but weeds in it. Most dont mow but twice a month bc they have to.

[@katesomossy4157]

Your lawn looks great but your neighbor to the right looks pretty good too. My guess is the appearance has more to do with rain and N from thunderstorms. Fertilizing through summer at lower N amounts is suggested by University research but be careful applying such large amounts of K. Studies show unless the soil is deficient, it makes no difference to plant health/stress resistance, and K in fertilizers is a salt. So applying too much will increase the osmotic potential in the soil surrounding plant roots and in extreme situations cause wilt as water moves out of the plant into the soil based on the osmotic differential. Might conduct a soil test to see if you are K deficient, if not then apply something else that has slow release N and much less K in the summer.

Lawn looks great. I switched to a 15-0-15 plus biostims. It’s labeled for centipede but my St. Aug loves it. My shade blend looks much worse than yours. I don’t think it it handles the heat well.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Yea mine is a little thin as well right now.

[@texaspowerman]

@@MrFergusonLawn I’m just looking for anything that will grow in the shade at this point. I’m tired of looking at cracked bare earth.

[@ivantobar7337]

You should try Lowe's brand stay green 16-0-10 all natural all purpose

[@manny108]

I just got rhis bit, it doesn’t list spreader setting for scotts broadcast spreader. Do you know what it will be.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

I sure don’t, I’m sorry. I usually start around 4 something g and if I have left over, go over it again. Guessing game really!

[@manny108]

@@MrFergusonLawn thanks appreciate it.

[@johnnelwhite]

I agree with you this is the first year ive fertilized my yard during summer. I used milorganite, 1-0-1 and 0-0-25 every 30 days. I ran out of 1-0-1 and 0-0-25 so i ordered yard mastery stress blend so its going down this weekend along with my fungicide. This is the best my yard has ever looked in the summer i cant wait for fall to push more nitrogen. Keep up the good work

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Wonderful my friend! Good to hear

[@tite732]

Its been raining a lot here in NJ. So much that I dont have time to mow. I also had a big branch fall off my front yard tree and its an eye sore. I started chopping at it yesterday. I have put down Milo and of course, my fungicides so my grass still looks great just needs a mow. I think im going to fertilize again since its been over a month. I have some leftover Stress blend so I will be using that and buying a bag of the Sta green slow release that is popular right now for my backyard. Im surprised you dont use fertilizer in the summer. Slow release, Micro green, and water seems to work!!!!

[@MrFergusonLawn]

I do, just spoon feeding a little liquid pert in the past. The slow release granular, I've sorta played with, but never really put it out in dead heat of summer. Thanks for the update brother, hope it dries out a little up there!

[@damonlorthridge9314]

Yard look amazing, you got the block on 🔥💯🚒

[@MrFergusonLawn]

[@MrKevinH]

Looking great. The Protene goes down easy and has some great results. I'm hoping to get another app down soon; it's been a very busy week.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

That's what I heard from our roof guy lol. I seen your car missing all week. Hang on, it's Friday!

[@vengeance7x6661]

Fert definitely makes a difference, but enough water is more important than anything else by miles. I've used Protene in the summer and the lawn will look awful if there isn't enough water. Conversely, if there's enough water, it lokks great with almost any fert. I like Protene, but it's not the only option and isn't cheap either

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Oh I agree, however Protene lasts longer than other ferts. You get 90 days of release unlike others for just a few bucks cheaper. For that alone I find it worth the price.

[@vengeance7x6661]

@@MrFergusonLawn that's fair. I'd prefer to fertilize more often in smaller doses, but I do think it's a great option. I'm not sure how effective it is near the end of 90 days however. I just wanted to mention that H2O is by far more important and can make a lawn look good even with a sub par fertilizer

[@curtisleddy1408]

I’m still in the testing phase of my lawn care journey. No fungicide or fert this summer on my cool season backyard. I was planning on using this fertilizer as well, but I’ve been more focused on my zoysia in the front doing heavy nitrogen on that. Only using RGS on the back and mowing tall until fall. So far very little fungus and the color is still dark from my propeat and freedom apps earlier in the year. I also feel that biochar has helped my soil retain nutrients for the summer. We’ve had tons of rain so that also has helped a lot. I just really want to see how my back yard handles no fungicide/fert. Zoysia is just on cruise control, never seen a spec of fungus and so thick. No fungicide on that either

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Awesome man. Glad that is working for you. As you probably seen, I did some Humichar in the past few months, and I was warned by another youtuber to just be careful, as it can retain a lot of moisture and swamp out your lawn. However, I'd LOVE to not deal with fungicides, as I described coming into lawn care. However it hit me hard and scared me. Especially with all the money and work I put in. Great to hear yours is going well! I hope I too can get to where I don't need it.

[@curtisleddy1408]

@@MrFergusonLawn dont get me wrong, i think my lawn would be much better with funcides than without, but I want to see what happens like you did to determine if it’s really needed or if I just get minimal fungus that resolves itself in the fall. I did see that vid about the humichar and your follow up comment which was interesting. I only did one humichar app so far, maybe I’ll leave it at that

[@C3EIT]

Lawn is looking great and hard work is paying off. How do you like the Triple Threat? Looking at getting some for the fall. Thanks. Northern VA.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Triple Threat is good. It's not a bad seed at all and I may go with it again, but I just love the GCI more. That's what I've grown to adore. It's got everything you need from a seed. That's just my opinion though.

[@djamesbrooklyn1]

What chemicals can’t you not put down at the same time? Can I put down fert. and fungus treatment back to back or can put down fert. Fungus and weed killer cause my grass getting a beating with the weeds.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

It’s your lawn, so do what you want to do. Yea, you can spray for weeds which I recommend. I would be cautious with the fert if you are newer to lawn care, but yes it can all be put down back to back.

[@killingkuddles]

When did you put down the protene? In June to make it through June July august, or a little before that for some “ramp up” time to let it get into the lawn?

[@MrFergusonLawn]

I put it down in June, and it should last til August. Just to add some color, feed it some, and thank God it's not caused a lot of top growth.

[@davidcrowson4745]

Pete always says," get your dirt right" looks like your doing well. Anyway wondering if you could make a video or just a short with your dad's yard to show what's going on there?? What's the situation with his mower as well . Hav a great weekend.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

I will try David. Just haven’t gotten over there lately. Thanks

[@fabrones49]

Skip to 2:30 for the video to start. Thank me later. Your introductions are to long on most your videos.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Then skip ahead as you suggested to others lol.

[@dadwichert]

is this product made by Anderson’s ?

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Nope. Protene makes Protene far as I know. Pretty sure it’s not Andersons

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

Watch when u put nothing for 6 months it will all disapear

[@Louisville627]

Last summer I didn’t feed the yard and it looked awful..this summer I just put a simple 10-10-10 down and my yard looks better than it did in the spring lol I have cool blue yard

[@allensadicario5196]

Your lawn looks awesome always a great show thanks again brother
