re: Fertilizer for Centipede and Bermuda

What do you recommend for Bermuda?

Go with something very high in nitrogen. Like around 29%. When I lived in Little Rock all the neighborhoods had Bermuda and you could fertilize that stuff 4-5 times in a growing season. It really likes high nitrogen. It seemed like you couldn't fertilize Bermuda enough. Centipede is just the opposite. It likes less nitrogen and far less applications in a growing season.

Where do you get the Lesco?

I have really good luck with k8. I am in the Dallas area and get it from a mom and pop feed store. I have Bermuda and my lawn is as nice or better than those paying a service. It is a 15 5 10 blend.

That is what I have and I pop it with ammonium nitrate. Seems like it can't eat enough but I cut back some cause I had to cut grass twice a week. shite was "blue" though. Live on a hwy and had strangers pull up to ask what I do to get what I had.

I hate the math part of it too...Which is why I'll never let my applicator's license expire- don't want to have to take that test again!

Thanks for the info. I'm in the Houston area and just built in a new neighborhood. HOA requires Bermuda so I'm learning. It's tough to keep the weeds out of it. Always had St Augustine in the past and that was simple to maintain.

I had hell keeping weeds out of my Bermuda. I'm glad I'm in a centipede neighborhood now. I bought one of those pumpup sprayers and put stuff in it that would kill the weeds but not the grass. It was a royal pain in the neck. I will say though when you get a Bermuda yard looking right it looks like a golf course but man it's some serious work.
