Yard Mastery, a company founded in early 2019 by Allyn Hane (The Lawn Care Nut) and his business partner Josh Whitford, represents a distinct voice from that of LCN. While LCN is Allyn's personal voice, Yard Mastery encompasses the perspectives of many. Both entities are based in the United States, with the entire Yard Mastery development team located in the US without any outsourcing. The company also maintains an office in Bozeman, Montana, where their administrative and creative staff are based.

The Yard Mastery Starter Fertilizer is a 12-12-12 formula designed specifically for DIYers, offering a versatile solution for seed/sod applications or general lawn feeding. This fertilizer covers an impressive 6,000 square feet (18 lb bag) or 15,000 square feet (45 lb bag).

The 12-12-12 analysis of this fertilizer provides a balanced approach, with 12% nitrogen, 12% phosphorus, and 12% potassium. The nitrogen component utilizes the premium source of ammonium sulfate, which not only contributes to a vibrant, steely-blue-green color in the turf but also interacts harmoniously with the other elements in the blend. The 12% phosphorus content is ample to promote root development in existing lawns or stimulate rooting in new seeding, sod, or spring projects. Rounding out the macronutrients, the 12% potassium is derived from the premium formulation of sulfate of potash, known for its lower salt index.

In addition to the balanced macronutrients, the Yard Mastery Starter Fertilizer boasts a 3% iron content and a selection of other micronutrients, including boron, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc. This comprehensive blend ensures that your lawn receives a well-rounded nutritional profile.

Complementing the fertilizer is the inclusion of Bio-Nite, a bio-solid filler akin to Milorganite, but sourced from South Florida. This organic amendment not only contributes to the overall nutrient profile but also feeds the soil microbes, promoting a healthy and thriving lawn.

The Yard Mastery Starter Fertilizer can be applied on a wide range of cool-season and warm-season grasses, including Kentucky Bluegrass, Turf Type Tall Fescue, Ryegrass, Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia, Centipede, and Bahia. The recommended application rate is 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet of lawn area, with reapplication every 30-45 days during the growing season.

For optimal results, it is important to apply the fertilizer to a dry lawn and water it in within 48 hours with 1/4 inch of rainfall or irrigation. Excess fertilizer should be swept off sidewalks and driveways to avoid staining.
