You have to be careful with St. Augustine and nitrogen fertilizer. More
than 2 lbs. per 1,000 per year will contribute to St. Augustine Decline.
Could this possibly be your case?

Yes, it is not nearly as lush as others even where we have good sun. In
the
shade it is pathetic. We have neighbors that have grass in the shade that
is
as healthy as ours is in the sun

Is your lawn showing signs of a problem?

I have a lawn in the Houston Texas area and the soil consistently
tests
very
low in Potassium. I bought some 0-0-60 fertilizer and I am wondering
when
I
should use it and how much. Also, why would I have such a problem in
the
first place?
