Best fertilizer to promote lateral growth for bare spots

Common Bermuda, been putting down 1/2 pound of 46-0-0 every two weeks to spoon feed it with a spray cart. Should I be putting something like a 13-13-13 in the bare areas to help it more?

Why are the spots bare?
Shaded? Compaction? Poor drainage?
Have you considered plugging the bare area from the healthy grass?

.5 pound per thousand sf2 of 46/0/0 every two weeks? I feel like that is a shite ton of nitrogen, no? Bermuda is supposed to get a total of 2-4 pounds per thousand over the course of a year. You're hitting that in 2 or 3 months unless I am mistaken.

If you like spoon feeding or spraying in general, pick up some sea kelp concentrate, that’ll get the runners running.

Get a soil test and see if it needs phosphorus (P). Many soils have plenty of P, the middle number of the 13-13-13 example. But if, in your case, P is deficient, that could hinder the spread.

One more thing shoeless, how often are you mowing? Every two days combined with urea and heat will push it like crazy.
