My soil test results from LSU Ag. What now?

Where are you located?

Now is a time to fertilize a centipede lawn, with a second application in mid-June/early July. If you are in the Baton Rouge area I’d purchase a LESCO 15-5-15 Polyplus fertilizer from Site One Landcape Supply and apply at a rate of 3.3 lbs of fertilizer per 1000 sq ft. That will supply the nitrogen (N) requirement but only 10% phosphorus (P) and 25% of potassium (K) recommended by the AgCenter.

To make up the difference in the P and K requirement, you can purchase Hi Yield Triple Super Phosphate and Hi Yield Muriate of Potash in bags as small as 4 lbs (?) at most retail garden Centers and Hardware stores (not the big box stores) and apply at the rates provided on the soil analysis report, reducing the amount applied by the % of P and K supplied by the 15-5-15. I think some places sell larger 20 lb bags (?) of Hi Yield product, I just can’t recall from memory. But again Site One will carry those 2 products, just calculate how much you need based on the square footage of lawn you have.

How long did it take to get your result back?
