Still ok to put down weed & feed?
Posted by TigerTatorTots on 4/21/15 at 1:46 pm00
I had new centipede sod out down in early March. Wondering if it's ok to put down some Bonus S now. Grass is green, but not growing lush

I would just fertilize it
If there are no weeds growing, weed and feed not necessary

DO NOT use Bonus S on centipede this year. They changed the formula and the nitrogen level is much too high for centipede grass. Multiple people are having to re-sod because of this, it's killing every ones lawns

Good to know. I'll go with the Sta-Green Southern weed and feed. It's 20-0-5 vs the Bonus S which is 32-0-9
Small weeds in the yard already growing

I thought you had to wait longer than a month to put granular fertilizer on newly laid sod?

Me and several of my neighbors are finding out about Scotts bonus S the hard way. These are established lawns that got burnt up.

We put out the bonus S like we have done for the last few years on our centipede lawns. Within a week our yards were and still are burnt up. We are just now getting some green coming threw the burnt spots.

Some good articles are on LSU's agcenter website. They say never to use Scotts, because the nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium concentrations are based on northern US lawns. Southern lawns need different ratios in their feed.
Always go to your local garden center to buy feed that is designed for your lawn.

Anything larger than 15 as first number (nitrogen) I stray away from for centipede.

Seems I remember hearing not to fertlize new sod for 6-9 months, they fertlize it heavy at the farm, and espically centipede can not tolerate too much fertlizer
Weed n feed should be avoided and the 2 functions should be done seperatly , when you do fertlize centipede use a variety specific fertlizer 15-0-15 is best, but make sure the middle number is as low as possible, and be careful with a high first number
