OK. My neighbor is holding out on me. Our yards are identical. Both have Bermuda grass, use msma to control weeds. But he won’t tell me what he uses to fertilize. He does not water his yard except when he fertilizes. Here is the rub. His yard is a beautiful dark green right now. What do you think is his secret?

Carbon G, T-nex, and 46-0-0. Cut it ever 5th day preferably with an Earthwise 7 blade reel mower with a 5lbs roller.

Your neighbor will be begging you to tell him what you’re doing.

I don’t have the exact answer for you but I once used MiracleGro tree/shrub spikes for a new tree I planted in my Bermuda lawn. The spots where I inserted the spikes became a dark green. It was frustrating because the spots were very isolated circles and stood out very clearly. According to the label, the fertilizer in those spikes is 15-5-10.

Fertilizer with high nitrogen and iron.

Cut it often.

Get a fertilizer high in Iron. Buddy of mine did the same thing. Iron will allow the grass to get dark green but won’t make it grow like nitrogen. Only set back is that it doesn’t stay in grass as long. Will have to reapply more often.
