re: OT Lawn Fertilization Thread

Halts for grassy weeds and atrazine for broadleafs. Atrazine is temperature sensitive so you better hurry.

Try Amaze by Green Light. Not sure about centipede but it has worked wonders on my St Aug. I'm one of the only houses in my neighborhood that doesn't have that grassy weed for a lawn right now.

Where do you get the 2-4d?

Why do you want to add phosphorus (the 1)? Typically phosphorus is a blooming element in fertilizers. It's pretty rare in lawn food as you don't want to typically encourage seed strands. Wouldn't think that ratio would be very good for southern lawns. You'll end up with hard to mow seed strings more than usual. You usually want high nitrogen and a small amount of potash.

If your set on that ratio you could get a normal lawn fertilizer and add bone meal or equivalent phosphorus source to the mix provided you can do a little bit of math.

Just following the Randy Lemmon method that everyone seems to praise. No other reason than that.
