Wes,

Quit screwing around and wasting your time trying to find a 15-0-15...just
go up to Lesco on James Jackson, talk with Phil (the manager) and he will
have something close to those numbers...you don't need exact matches...just
something near that formulation. My opinion, I wouldn't be putting any
nitrogen (the first number) down until at least after April on Centipede. I
would recommend a 0-0-8 with some form of pre-emergence (Pre-M, Barricade,
Dimension) to keep weeds from popping up.

Just my two cents...what do I know?

Tell Phil that Jason with Cary Turf sent you. Don't give the guy a hard
time on pricing...the information he will give you is worth it!

Wes,

I have bought Centipede weed & feed at the garden center on Atlantic
Avenue
north of Millbrook in Raleigh. I thought the brand was Staygreen, and
that
it was owned by Scott's, but google did not turn up any connection. I
don't
remember the exact "recipe" of the fertilizer, but I think one of the
numbers was zero. (I also recall the bag as being purple, if that
helps.)

Ah, it just occurred to me the name is StaGreen, (no Y), and it is on
Lowe's
website:

The recommended mix of fertilizer for centipede is 15-0-15. Has anyone
found someplace that stocks it. It does not have to be 15 but the N,
and K need to be the same and the P to be 0. In fact if the N is lower
than the K then I can substitute with ammonium nitrate to make up the
difference. So 10-0-15 or such would be ok.

Thanks Ann. It is on their website but when you order it they tell you
to contact your local store. Looks like they could at least tell me the
closest store that actually stocks it.
