re: The biggest lie ever told about lawns is that Centipede is good and easy

I'm in BR and bought my house in 99 (was built in 94) and it had centipede...it thrived for 20 years with me doing nothing but cutting and a very occasional watering during dry spells...the only treatments I ever did was Bonus S for a couple of random springs when I got around to it (and before I knew better) but switched to 15/0/15 at half rate the last 10 years or so...in the last 2-3 years however it has slowly declined to where it's almost bare dirt in some spots (like a few other yards in my hood)

I attributed that to the severe cold combined with the drought and am hoping it might recover, but I'm thinking I might need to start over with Zoysia or something else
