I had bought 80# of 13-13-13 because a friend told me but then I can't find anyone on the Internet saying its good. What #/sf should I go?

I like to put a balanced one first like 13-13-13. Put plenty, there's way less nitrogen in it than above. We've put as much as 200 plus pounds per acre and not burned it. Grass loves fertilizer.

It does not use it and too
Much can cause problems

And that will serve anyone well. In fact I've decided to pretty much go that route too. I already hit a round of trip 13 and mine is pretty green. I still have a few buttercups and some poe anna (sp?).

1. Cut grass very low (practically scalp) and rake out all debris. This may be substantial if you have St. Augustine.

2. Apply 13-13-13 at the rate written on the bag. Most feed and seed shops have spreaders to loan out with purchase and can even set them for you.

3. Raise mower with future cuttings until you are cutting at max height by heat of late May early June. (The shade provided by the grass maintains moisture in the soil)

4. Repeat the 13-13-13 in 30-45 days after 1st application. This application will not only continue to green the grass, but will provide the lush thickness and carpet like feel. This also will allow most weeds to be choked out.

5. Water 3-4 times a week. Best to water early in the morning just before or at daylight. This way the grass dries quickly. Watering at night is better than no water, but letting the grass stay wet overnight can cause fungus.

6. Prepare to mow the thickest grass you ever have, every 5-8 days.
