Just ordered Stress blend...love supporting small businesses..its the American way

[@joelcolon5060]

Ordered Stress blend yesterday. Love that it now has ammonium sulfate as it works better on my lawn.

[@olivierflhd6965]

I got my self both of these so happy you sended a bunch in ontario !! We want more lollll!!

[@paulbaratta1566]

Up here in New England, have just ordered my soil test and getting ready. Temps are between 70 degrees one day and 28 degrees another overnight high! Soil temp is 42 degrees! Almost ready to throw down!

[@Hawkkidjason]

Threw down the rest of the stress blend in January an the rest of the milo last weekend. From here on out its Flagship this year! The Saint Aug in Pasco didn't check out this year! So its time too push it!

[@Jclose285]

Just ordered mine. Gonna follow the calendar on your app this year! Cant wait to see the outcome

[@yardmastery]

Thrower down! hope for the best!

[@angelf9800]

Are these better to use instead of Milorganite fertilizer.

[@drewslawncare1913]

I’m going to pick up some stress blend going to do a video on it so I’m super excited to see how it works!

[@yardmastery]

thrower down bro!

[@tylerlong4696]

Thank you for the wonderful info sir!

[@peanut62-cm8nw]

I was using Milo in the early spring, I ordered stress blend going to give it a try

[@dantheman227]

You'll neve need Milo again if you add a soil suplement like RGS. I used Milo for years but its just too expensive and at the current price point there are superior alternatives. Strees blend/Flagship/Freedom have worked great for me for 2 seasons, don't think I'll be swapping anytime soon

[@PomptonFresh]

I am in South Florida and planned on using the stress blend in October and then a 0-0-60 for Nov-Feb. Would I be able to use the stress blend straight through February or should I stick to my original plan?

[@ryant4915]

So I started with milo in the spring. My soul test came back with depleted N and P. It has been awesome with the Milo. So now I’m at the point of what to throw down next. We are in the end of may temps have been not that hot yet. Any recommendations.

[@williamwest529]

I use a professional lawn company to fertilize my lawn all year, but this year my lawn looks horrible, I’m not sure if it was the late frost or what, I have Bermuda grass and don’t know what to do.. I have at least a 10x10 bald spot in my yard

[@slpcarolyn6659]

Can I use potassium all year when my St Augustine is struggling. Evidence of chlorosis and doesn’t seem to be grabbing nitrogen or iron and appears not lush in some areas. Ruled out watering, and grubs. Sent in soil sample. Thanks

[@Mark-zi2og]

So jacked to get going with my cool season 2023!

[@IsaacMomperousse]

Woot...Spring is coming!

[@josephwilkinson7376]

Great content! Your app wants me to lay down the stress blend this week. Then today it switched to flag ship, even though I hadn’t completed stress blend. I bought the large stress blend because it showed me using it at least twice this year - now it ONLY shows Flagship. What’s going on?

[@yardmastery]

the app will adjust recommendations based on soil temps. For warm season lawns it will recommend stress blend in spring and flagship towards later spring and summer. You can and should still use the stress blend that you have on hand. It will work just fine.

[@muna866]

I took the my soil test and it recommended for me to use the stress blend since I’m lacking nitrogen, potassium and micro nutrients. I live in MN cool season tall fescue. Can I use flagship first as recommended and then stress blend?

[@hugochavolla9242]

Can i apply flagship on my st augustine?

[@tanyanewman7469]

I have st.Augustine and centipede but have a lot of yellow neon grass spots. Do I need a mix with higher nitrogen? I live Georgia

[@JT_WallStreet]

My lawn program in Michigan recommended the stress blend in April?

[@wescat2]

Allyn I'm in the transition zone in VA. Would you still use Stress in the summer here?

[@frederickduke9246]

I'm going to use Yard Mastery instead of Andersons on my Bermuda this season. I've been using Andersons 10-101-10 Balance, buy Yard Mastery uses 7-0-20 Stress Blend as a first app for the season. Is there a comparison out there I can check out?

[@tyferguson564]

Could it be put down the same time as I put the weed killer down?? For the lawn

[@kelseycromwell]

Warm season here in Texas, summers are 100+ with no rain. Is that not a time to use stress blend? The app says flagship, I also use milo

[@LonghornsLegend]

The app is often incorrect, I had to use my calendar in the app and put my dates in myself. I prefer stress blend out of dormancy in spring and late before it frost over. In between I think it's up to you and your lawn. Last year I did flagship all summer, this year I'm gonna use Double Dark in the summer. Even over 100 degrees here we can still put down some nitrogen safely

[@ronaldowens1965]

I applied the 24-0-6 flagship. And had a very hard rain the next day. Do I reapply or did it dissolve in the lawn.

[@johnfeather5405]

If my landscaper put down fertilizer, is ok if I put your fertilizer too? Ty

[@keneykkk]

Hey Allen, I did a soil test on my way up North (North Dakota) cool season grass, and my lawn is VERY low in N and VERY VERY high in both P and K. What should I throw down that is mostly or all Nitrogen?

[@bgrove3166]

How long after applying Milo can I put down Flagship and not worry about burning.

[@yardmastery]

I recommend you wait at least a month

[@bgrove3166]

Thank you.

[@BlakeAdamsCO]

Cool season, in CO, and have soil test results in the app, but some conflicting info on this video compared to what the app told me. I just put down Stress Blend, as that's what the app said. But this video is saying Flagship and come summer use Stress Blend for cool season grass? Which is correct? Thank you.

[@clndharris]

In MI and in exact same situation. I think it's due to the deficiencies identified by the soil test that supercedes the normal pattern described in this video. I'd love to have YM confirm this.

[@yossikoenig9462]

Also how long after applying scots 3 in 1 do I need to wait until I could apply the moliginite

[@yardmastery]

wait at least 30 days

[@mitie65]

??? I feel like my upcoming 2nd application up here in NJ (mid-late May), is kind of in between Flagship and Stress blend. I'm on the fence but leaning toward Stress blend. I applied Flagship and Prodiamine Pre in early April, so I'm also wondering if I should be applying Pro/Pre again fer this throw down? Lawn looks amazing, just losing a touch of deep green and I pick maybe 2-3 dandelions a day. Advice?

[@yardmastery]

if you have prodiamine on hand, you can apply another app now for sure. For the fert, it really depends on your desire to mow. The Flagship will keep things moving and youll still need to mow often. The Stress Blend won't push as much growth but still keep the lawn pretty green.

[@armandocastilleja2334]

Do you recommend spreading stress blend even though I spread flagship two weeks ago

[@yardmastery]

you want to separate them by 4 weeks minimum

[@kakarat234]

Nw FL what should I be putting down to get rid of the weeds that rearing there heads. I use elbow grease but what keep them at bay in spring.

[@yardmastery]

Image for Southern Lawns. The Lawn Care Nut has a video coming this week about it. Here is a blog post too thelawncarenut.com/blogs/news/post-emergent-weed-control-for-warm-season-lawns

[@albertaguirre5793]

Finally will be using the soil kit test and the new app! Excited to use the bio-stimulants along with the recommend fertilizers! Hoping for the best!

[@cb2354]

In the event some granules are inadvertently left on the concrete and staining occurs, what are some good remedies to remove?

[@yardmastery]

I use toilet bowl cleaner. Works pretty well.

[@masterofnone8698]

My calendar on your app says I can throw down flagship just about every month but the bag says to only apply 4 times in Florida. I have mainly st Augustine grass, do I follow your app calendar or the bag???

[@yardmastery]

The app will have you switch to Stress Blend at some point. You can apply either Stress Blend or Flagship every 4-5 weeks as long as the lawn is growing.

[@johnfeather5405]

When do you apply the stress blend to Bermuda April?

[@yardmastery]

Early April would he good. If you get our app it will give you better timing based on soil temperatures in your city. yardmastery.com/pages/yard-mastery-app-download

[@ronaldowens1965]

Trying Flagship this year for my lawn what is the best 2 that I can use from spring to end of summer. I have Bermuda Grass in Alabama

[@yardmastery]

Stress blend now is great. If you want sometnig a little different in summer, try Double Dark. It's got much higher iron and lower nitrogen. bermuda will love it.

[@johnfeather5405]

With the temperatures in Charlotte getting warmer, is it OK to put down the flagship this week on my fescue. Ty

[@yardmastery]

sure is, thrower down! You will be the first green lawn on the block!

[@frankthetank520]

Grass is so lucky. I wish I could go into a restaurant and order a stress blend

[@od8437]

Is it worth putting down the stress blend if grass went dormant already ?

[@yardmastery]

it's best to wait if the lawn is dormant. Once things start growing again, and you are mowing, then you can apply the Stress Blend.

[@od8437]

@@yardmastery appreciate the info

[@joemills4716]

I’m in San Antonio and just put down promiadine yesterday. Was thinking of going with stress blend next week, then in mid march going with the flagship. I have a Bermuda/st aug blend. Thoughts? Thanks

[@yardmastery]

yes that's an excellent strategy. Will get your lawn of to the best start. It's tough dealing with SA and bermuda mixed but alot of us have to deal with that.

[@joemills4716]

@@yardmastery the st Aug has pretty much won the backyard, but Bermuda is about 80% of front. I tried fighting it, but am just embracing it lol. Thanks

Do any of your products contain Sulfate of Potash instead of Muriate of Potash? Asking for the people with high chloride content that can't use or want to avoid muriate of potash (potassium chloride) due to potential toxicity issues with the chlorides.

Can I use this when I’m doing spring over seedling?

[@yardmastery]

Flagship would be best if you are overseeding

[@NanaNana-zk4ky]

Thank you sir

[@WhittyPics]

Would you recommend stress blend in the fall for Bermuta?

[@yardmastery]

yes but not too late - make your last app a month before you plan to stop mowing.

[@mschwope]

I like both Flagship and Stress, I usually do a blend of the two. Two pounds each, lawn responds great.

What liquid fertilizers do you use for your palms?

My soil sample said two applications of stress blend to start the year (cool season lawn) and then follow up with freedom, so this won’t start with to much Nitrogen, does that seem ok (I was low on nitrogen and potassium)

[@yardmastery]

when you have the soil test program, you follow that because it's tailored exactly to your soil. It won't give you too much of anything, all good.

[@jebus0430]

@@yardmastery definitely happy I went through the comments in this video. I couldn’t understand why it recommended two applications of stress blend either. Now I know it’s because of the soil kit. Good to know. I do have one question though, it was giving me 2 applications of freedom and two of flagship through the soil test recommendation but under calendar, it only tells me to “thrower down” once each. Which should I follow?

[@ryanbaca81]

I’m in the heart of the transitional zone, with a Bermuda lawn; the app recommended freedom in the middle of February🤔

[@yardmastery]

you must be on a custom plan from the soil test then - if you have the soil test guiding the recommendations you should for sure follow that.

[@ryanbaca81]

@@yardmastery Got it! Wasn’t sure if the app was working correctly or not, but I will definitely follow. Also, the quick reply is much appreciated!

[@christianruth3803]

App recommended "granular biostimulate" in early april. Can we use this with milorganite? We are in northern IL. I saw your milorganite vid and thought we should try it...

[@yardmastery]

Milorganite has quite a bit of nutrients in it. A better option for granular bio-stimulant would be this one here yardmastery.com/collections/jonathan-green/products/love-your-soil%C2%AE#

[@davidhires7403]

For cool season Why do you recommend the flagship high nitrogen in the spring when the grass is going to take off anyway without it. I’d be mowing every day to keep up with it if I gave it that much N in the spring.

[@yardmastery]

My strategies are designed to get the lawn thicker and you do that by encouraging growth when the lawn already wants to grow. Like a bodybuilder taking supplements to pump up his workout. As far as mowing, the app rate only yields .75lb/N/1000 (50% slow release) which isn't enough to cause a flush of growth, rather, sustained effects over 30-45 days. Give it a try and see, the color you get is amazing.
