Just watched this for the 2nd time and I will Dominate better for it! I have my recent soil test results and I understand things So Much More now. This Definitely helped to take me out of DefCon mode. Let me also say that the YM Support Team is Amazing!!! Bo took the time to help me further tweak my Lawn Program being that I have 2 grass types separated by the side walk leading up to my home. Left side is 21 year old NEGLECTED Bermuda & Right side is 21 year old NEGLECTED Bermuda being taken over by my neighbors St. Aug. Which I'm welcoming! The goal is to 'switch'🙄 over to All St. Aug since it's So Aggressive!! But BEAUTIFUL😍Thanks very Much for the LCN/YM Community!!💗💗
I've been going the UK approach... It sucks, but I use way less chemicals on the yard if any.. Dethatcher rake before it starts growing and the Milo will generally kill the rest of the weeds since they hate nitrogen. Once the grass is fully grown the base will push out the remainder weeds
Thanx Uncle Al..lol great video and explaining what to look for after a soil test. After getting my soil test back I now know what I need to apply instead of just dumping stuff down and guessing..
On the nitrogen I wish some soil tests didn’t include it in the results, nitrogen is highly mobile within the soil which means it’s level is constantly changing it doesn’t tightly bond to the soil like P and K does. So when you take a soil test, by the time you get your results the nitrogen level has already changed, so the results are not important to analyze.
I used the stress blend all throughout the winter and spring. I’ve had great results. I just received my Flagship today! I’ll be throwing some down on my st Augustine throughout the summer! Super hyped! I love the cold blue mix color!
Perfect timing with the video (as usual). My test looks great except I have almost no sulfur. I picked up some gypsum at Menards (pretty cheap). Hopefully that will bring it up some. I’m guessing it may take a few years to getting it close to normal range.
To make things even simpler, just test your pH and get on a nitrogen-only plan. Most lawns will do just fine with only nitrogen. I mulch everything back into the lawn so that adds micros over time. Spreading compost can work wonders too, but that can be a lot of work.
Are you working for Scotts? I live in the northeast and I bought and used Scotts crap for years until I found and used Lesco products for the last 2 years and what a huge improvement in my lawn. I went through the crappy spreaders Scotts puts out and again I bought a Lesco spreader again what a difference in quality. So, I've decided that Scotts is basically another example of a Home Depot and Lowes mass market type consumer duped products that I have cut the cord with in big box.
Great video Allyn! Loving my Flagship! I was stressing a little about my high sulfur, calcium and magnesium levels…but I’ll focus on sticking to the process!
Lesco makes the best for macro and its quite cost effective. When i need nitrogen l go for lesco 30-0-10 which has a 45 day release. 0.5 lbs nitrogen per 1k every other week during a blitz. If I want everything then i can afford PGF Complete which is top notch.
Just found your channel. Earned a thumbs up just before 5 minutes in. Have you addressed the pros and cons of Weed and Feed type fertilizers in a video?
Always used Scotts products as there cheap, easy to find, works great then if I feel like spicing it up I get some other stuff I find in the big box store, iron or milo, or a triple 10 or 12 fert. Dam..... your Royal palm became a thiccc boi
Your thoughts on Potassium chloride and sodium chloride on a total home water softener when watering the lawn? Does the potassium help and will there be damage done by the sodium?
I would not want my water softener being used when I am irrigating. Most installers will separate those two things. It's a complete waste of the softening salt (costs money) but as far as what it would do to your soil I don't know.
my ph was 5.49, I applied lime and my lawn is already about twice as dark without any other applications, and all of my stunted seedlings from fall seeding started growing.
You could maybe put down a little lime but I don’t think you really wanna go above 7.0 Lime will raise the pH. Most likely you might have tested the soil in different areas? I would probably just test again if less than 6.8, but put down a small amount of lime if greater I would ignore it
Late last summer we moved to the country in south central TX with some acreage. I’ve always used granules for my suburban lawns but now I need to find something to control weeds over about a 5 acre area. I’ve got a pull behind sprayer for the job but I’m having a hard time finding a good concentrate. Any advice?
Hello i have been using the products like RGS, microgreen, air8 and prediamine g65 but my question is how do i get rid off the weeds that are already growing in the lawn? I dont want to put anything that will kill my st. Aug lawn please help
I screwed up some where. I did a weed and feed then about 5 weeks later I put milorganite down and a week later it looks burnt in a few places. Not sure which one caused this. Is there a video on how to repair the damage ?'thanks
Assuming you are trying to address N and K deficiencies like Allyn. Best to check pH first. Low pH (less than 6.0) will inhibit K availability. I understand your concern to correct deficiencies quickly. IMO there is no fast cure for deficiencies other than N, Fe, and other micronutrients. K is a stable and cumulative nutrient in the soil. IMO K deficiency is better addressed via regular granular applications and if needed correcting pH levels. IF your K deficiencies are visible (likely older leaves showing interveinal yellowing, rolling, and burning of the leaf tip, eventually forming necrotic spots on leaf margins) then a foliar application can be beneficial as K can be foliar absorbed. But you will likely have to purchase liquid K separately (which is readily available).
@@rickfriedrich528 it's actually cheaper to go water soluble. Keep in mind, my ferts have only been on the market for 1 year as of now. Reformulations take a little time. My critics think I'm evil but really the speed of business just doesn't move as fast as they think it should.
I love Flagship, it has done wonder for my Zoysia, but this is not an apples to apples comparison. There is nothing in the Scotts line of products that matches up with it. However Lesco 24-0-11 should have been used as a comp, it has macros.
Amazing video as always buddy. ? I’m in Upstate NY. I have my left side of my house has Zosia grass and the rest is a mix of Kentucky bluegrass. I know most people recommend for the north-east Kentucky blue grass but I really like Zosia feels and looks in the Summer. Is there a way that I can get the Zosia to spread or do you recommend I continue to love the Kentucky blue grass stay. I’m looking to do over ceiling just very confused on what to do. Thank you very much for your advice and help keep up the amazing videos
zoysia is really awesome further north like where you live for sure! You will want to rent a sod cutter, cut out the existing lawn, then sod with Zoysia. That is your best bet.
See today's article in the Washington Post about Maine farms contaminated by using dried sewage sludge having high levels of PFAS from industrial users. Has Milorganite ever been tested for this?
I think from being a LCN student long enough that microgreen, some flagship and good to go. I do the whole green county line and no one can catch my green. All my neighbors keep asking what's up and I don't divulge trade secrets very often. Ha
I have an island in my driveway that has been destroyed basically from neglecting the leaves that fell from the Oak tree in it causing all of the St. Augustine grass to disappear. it is about 80% dirt now I would say. is this salvageable? should I throw some fertilizer in there or do you think I will need new sod completely? thanks
Allyn- perfect timing for my YM Soil Test results which show I’m real low in PH (4.5) Is there a limit to how much lime I can put down now (50lbs per 1,000 sq ft is something I read) to try to move that PH up for summer St. Aug growing season? I live just North of you in Pinellas County. Love your content. Thanks man!
Scott's website says to never apply more than 50 lbs of lime at any one time. My local university extension says the same thing. It's actually written on there soil test report.
Allyn, How soon can I apply glyphosate to ProVista after installation? I have some Bermuda popping through and I’ve been pulling the runners out by hand.

The Lesco put down at 1.5 rate would yield the largest K and Fe increase. The Flagship has an advantage in micros. The Scott's is a Nitrogen brute.

@@Thelawncarenut very true
The soil test from University labs for agriculture don't show Nitrogen. At least mine from University of Florida didn't have it on the 7 page report.
@@jstaffordii everyone knows I'm in bed with "big nitrogen." So I am beholden to include it 😁

I didn't realize you offered PH products. I'm in on that. THANKS!!!!
Do you do the soil test before the season starts before you add fertilizer?
How Did Home Depot let you do your video in the store.. 😂 love your videos
I got their secret!! 😁
I might have missed it, but what do I do for high ph during summer? Texas lawn.
Would have like to seen the prill size comparison between all three products.

They at least use iron sucrate and not iron oxide, that alone is a huge win instead of a useless ingredient.
What grass do you have ?
Flagship all the way baby!! Awesome product Uncle Al😀
Thanks 👍
Alynn would you please send me the Utube video where you do the calculations for measuring square feet by walking the lawn.
Last Aussie 😁. Professor Al has spoken. Class sit up and take notes. 😎
omg, that was adorable....wished I had seen this earlier just came from home depot with fertilizer. Should test my soil first 😝
Good afternoon
Got my Milo down today!
I've got some YM down on one side of the lawn, Milo on the other. Windows are open so the entire house smells like success!
The scent of spring !
just saw your freedom factory on an episode of roadkill, drone shots and all
lawn is looking pretty good!

I’d like to see YM come out with a liquid that was strong with just N and K.
You can buy high quality, made to be dissolved Potassium sulfate and Ammonium sulphate and make your own.
A farm store can help or order them for you.
Assuming you are trying to address N and K deficiencies like Allyn. Best to check pH first. Low pH (less than 6.0) will inhibit K availability.

The 24-0-6 would be sweet with some slow release n imo

How soon can I apply glyphosate to ProVista after installation? I have some Bermuda popping through and I’ve been pulling the runners out by hand.
as soon as it's rooted you can spray. usually 2 weeks
Sur Gro 10-10-10 made in Georgia folks!.
When is the best time to to pull a soil sample?
anytime as long as you have not applied fertilizer in the previous 45 days or so
With your phosphorous being high would you still apply Milorganite to your lawn?
Twice per year I do yes
Great information, if he would take the filler rocks out of the yardmastery fertilizer i would buy it again.
that may happen very soon. As we grow new opportunities become available to us that once were closed off.
