Bermuda Grass Help

Water the high spots. Get a fertilizer schedule. Are you holding water in that low spot?

Proper answer is soil test and then fertilize accordingly. Aeration would probably help as well.

If it’s me I fertilize with Anderson’s 16-4-8 every 3-4 weeks and make sure gets a good watering every 3-4 days. That bermuda will take off.

shouldnt be an issue, the more the grass is growing it can take advantage of the fertilizer. I would do what was recommended above and possibly not mow it quite as short. It looks pretty low.

Same here. For good measure, I add an equal amount of Anderson's Humichar for soil treatment, and mix it in with the fertilizer. I hit the lawn up with a real light treatment (put the spreader on 4 setting). Once a month, all summer.

For watering, if we don't get any rain for a while I follow the "1-2-3-3-2-1" method. That's 1 time per week in May, 2 times per week in June, 3 times per week in July and August, 2 times per week in September, and 1 time in October.

Of course with all the rain we've been getting this summer so far, mother nature has pretty much taken that over for me.

When driving down my street, you can tell my lawn is a couple of shades greener and healthier looking than everybody else's. I mean it's a truly noticeable difference with the naked eye.

Are y’all using that 16% N at 8lbs per thousand?

The answer is “all the nitrogen”.

Do you buy this locally? I think I’m going to sling a whole lot of this down to see if it will improve my packed clay soil in some areas.

No, I buy both on Amazon. I get the largest bag of each. It can get pretty pricey, but because I'm going at the lightest rate it stretches out a few months.

Ronk, I'm using it at 3.6lbs/1,000 sq ft. (if that). It's a VERY light application - probably more like a snack than a full application each month. But instead of getting it down all at one time, it's broken up between the months. I learned that trick on the YouTube channel that I watch for my grass.

Bermuda loves fert. I’d put 16% N down at 8lbs per thousand 4 times per year. 4-5 lbs of N per thousand per year.
