More than 1# of nitrogen per year will onset centipede decline...Centipede is called the lazy man's grass for a reason, you can fertilize it to death. A good general for centipede is 0-5-15. I fertilize with 0-5-15 twice a year, once in the spring and once in early fall. This is my centipede going into the fall last year




Centipede is pretty forgiving, especially compared to something like turf Bermuda

What do you suggest for the "weed" portion of weed & feed. I know this forum is anti weed and feed, but I have a good bit of clover popping up and weed & feed (Bonus S) at my old home would knock it out. 4 days ago I put out crabgrass and grassy weed killer (Scotts Halts). I still need to take care of the clover and then fertilize if you don't suggest me using Bonus S again. Too much area for a 24D hand sprayer

ETA- I think Bonus S is 29-0-10

Is there a name brand 0-5-15 fertilizer? My centipede looks like crap compared to most of the yards in my neighborhood (even ones that don't seem to do anything to their lawns) and after reading your post I wonder if I have been adding to much nitrogen.
