A local company to me makes their own blend that’s a 7-20-20. It’s called “trophy blend”. My Bermuda was so thick, that I had to scalp it because my reel mower was wobbling all around because it got a bit spongy. It also helps me to get it ready for overseeding in Fall. I’m in Southern CA. We haven’t had a measurable rain since mid June. Couple of little rains that are just enough to make your vehicle look nasty from it. Luckily, I have an in ground irrigation system and my water price is reasonable. Other properties are paying 300-500 water bills to keep their landscapes alive. Yikes! So, I put the fert, and watered heavily. It’s coming back greener and greener every day. I water 3 times a week but can get by on two.
I'm in Houston Texas. I didn't use stress blend but I did pretty much have to double up on my supplemental fert applications to get a high potash number and essentially make my own stress blend. I also started using hydretain and that really helped my yard recover. Thanks to drought my yard was about 50% green and 50% brown/dormant before I did that stuff lol This season got me thinking of overseeding with a more drought tolerant bermuda. What are you planning to go with for your overseed?
@@treflippa2 I overseed with perennial rye grass every year with no ill effects to my Bermuda. I spray it out when temps rise up in Spring. I’ll never overseed my hybrid Bermuda with Bermuda seed again. I tried one year, several years ago when we first moved into our new house and it just doesn’t blend well, even though it was a “hybrid” Bermuda seed. No true such thing exist. Despite it being expensive as ever. I use plugs from existing areas to fill in bare spots.
@@andrewp.619 haha I just realized you said overseeding in fall. Yeah I've heard the same types of stories about overseeding hybrid bermuda. You however are the first to mention even with the expensive seeds it still doesn't blend right. Which is pretty much what I was banking on if I did do an overseed next season. I guess I'll hold off on it. I do know my current bermuda can look great as it was pretty phenomenal last season in its first year but I guess these super high Temps this year were just too much. But I also just learned about hydretain and stress blend amongst other things. So I think if I make sure to incorporate those in my next season lawn care agenda I should be good. Especially with seeing how well the yard responded to it besides I personally don't want to buy the seeds anyway due to price lol thanks for the replies and tips btw.
@@treflippa2 of course! Glad to help out. I use Lesco Moisture Manager, from Site One Landscaping. It’s a little better priced, but is the exact same thing. Does wonders during the Summer, you are correct! Yep, stick to your game plan and you’ll be solid!
Use plant growth regulator every 14 days spoon fed and verti cut every 10 days together with your regular fertility program and most all your problems will be gone in respect of brown colour and irregular cutting due to weather. The PGR will stunt the vertical growth and the verti cutting will allow sunlight through the canopy both massively greening the Bermuda plant and meaning none frequent cutting will not brown up your lawn every time.
Hahaha! Smell test approved! I've been eyeballing the stress blend for minute, but have already bought too many other lawn products this year to get some. Maybe next year.
BYD.... applied Stress Blend couple of weeks ago in my backyard. Some reason Central Texas heat is stressing my back yard the most this year. I'm Starting to see some results from my last application!
Nice video, BYD! I just put down this exact combo a couple of weeks ago. Should get me through until the I get ready to overseed at the end of the month!
Missed you, BYD. My bermuda looks like its dormant We had one decent rain in the last 3 months here in North Texas but we're back to 100s. I'm not buying any product until we break below the 100s consistently
We live in Central Texas and water with irrigation once a week. Our yard is 75% green but the rest is crunchy. We've learned that we cut our bermuda too tall. It's at 3-4" right now. Should we try cutting it down using the 1/3 method in this heat? We're due to hopefully get a week of rain soon 🙏
5 inches of total rain this year in South Texas. The average is around 16 inches. Im cutting my yard at 3 inches and hand watering, it is about 2500 sq Yards for the front and almost completely green. Should I do a green hit and allow to grow back?
My soil test shows excessive potash, but it looks stressed. Should I skip adding Stress Blend even though I really want to apply it with the excessive levels already in the soil?
How recent is test? If very recent I can only recommend you apply what the soil test recommends or possibly lack of watering may have you looking stress.
@@peterscanlon9727 so that soil test is 5 months old and it wasn’t blazing 🥵 hot like now. Two options, get another soil test or roll dice and apply stress blend watered in. Soil test are great tools to assess your lawn but not the Bible
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral okay sounds good, even if there is too much potash I do t think it will negatively impact the situation. I’ll order some now!

Just ran across this channel today and I love it man. You’re awesome! Very informative.
Thank you! You’ve saved my lawn. No weeds from using 8 Oz PRODIAMINE 65 WDG Pre Emergent!
Good info. Glad to see a video about Bermuda grass again
Just ordered the small bag using the link.
I don't have Bermuda grass but this guy tips made my yard beautiful.
👍🏾
My Bermuda/st agustine looks amazing, I’m in Arlington Texas.
1.Watering 3 times a week
2 apply hydratain
3. Mow higher
4. Also apply yard products
I'm watching and learning! Thanks!
Stress Blend is phenomenal. I started using it this summer during drought conditions. I’ve used it twice and my yard is beautiful.
I’m in central Texas we haven’t got any rain since may
Yikes 😮

im in LA , definitely checking this out .
I have too much rain but still watching to support the channel.
Stress blend plus Hydretain is the truth!
☀️Your yard will bounce back quick!!👍
Yep
Great video BYD
Thanks Rich

Haven’t seen a video of yours in a while glad you did this.

Water in guys❤
I'm in Grand Prairie tx yard still green even with the heat/ drought by watching and following your videos
There are very few yards in Ca. that do not have irrigation. Using it is another matter.

Hey, BYD. I just ordered a bag of that stress blend. It will be my first time trying it out. I look forward to the results.
Make sure to water 💦 it in really good.

So what do u think about Zoysia grass? U think its ok or u think Bermuda is better? I planted both and it seems the bermuda is struggling.
That be a personal choice but both are great lawns 👍🏾
What’s a drought? Here in Louisiana, we’ve had 27 straight days of rain 🤦♂️

May not be a good idea in that Texas heat right now.
Just curious, what did the toro commercial mower cost you? Good looking mower, like the bigger gas tank
This one with Honda Engine and BBC system run about 2k
I have a 2 year old lawn, would I need to dethatch and core aerate this fall?
Neither, I’d wait until it starts to green 🆙 next season to only core aerate.
✨💚
I have that spreader but I do not have that cover, what is it used for?
The cover help prevent Fertilizer Spills just in case it tips over. Also is good to keep product from getting wet just in case it rains.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral Did it come with the unit or do you buy it separately, I do not have to worry about rain but tip overs yes,

Related, I know nitrogen is the fastest nutrient to leave the soil, but I don’t know how long the other macros hang around and stay in the soil?
