Bio-Nite is an all natural bio-solid; the same thing as Milorganite but instead of being mined from the bowels of Milwaukee, Bio-Nite comes from South Florida. Smells like massive success which lets you know it's working. Bio-Nite being all natural also means it feeds the soil when you apply, nice! So with Stress Blend you get the best of the Milo along with a whole heaping helping of other nutrients. The high potash is awesome for a stressed lawn as potash helps with water uptake and retention. Iron is there to give you some color response on top. It's 3% iron which if you look at a lot of lawn fertilizers sold in stores, they may have no iron or if they do it's 1.5% or less. Stress Blend also has a stack of micronutrients lawns need including magnesium, boron, copper, manganese, molybdenum and zinc.
