Why wait till Spring to fertilize? Fall is an excellent time to apply
ferilizer and will give you a nice green lawn to look at even in
winter. You need a fertilizer with Nitrogen, and Potash and little
or no Phospate. On the bag, fertilizer is listed as percentages of
NPK, ie X-X-X. Over the season, you want to apply to each 1000 sq
ft:

3 - 4lbs N nitrogen
0 P phosphate
3 - 3.5 K potash

So, if you find a 40 lb bag marked 15-0-15, it contains 6 lbs of N and
6lbs of K, which is enough for 2000 sq ft for the season. I would
apply it divided in 3 applications, one in early Sept, one in late
Oct, one in late Mar/early April. The limestone can be put down
anytime.

To find the right fertilizer, you may need to go to a pro turn product
supplier, like Lesco, as the home centers usually have more balanced
products.

Why wait till Spring to fertilize? Fall is an excellent time to apply ferilizer

There are divided opinions on this subject and I gave the one I was
taught. Existing growth benefits but new growth suffers. Rationale is
that nitrogen stimulates new growth late in the season and this growth
does not have time to toughen up before freezes, thus dying.

If you look at the advice of university agricultural services and turf
authorities, I haven't seen any disagreement. In fact, most of them
state that Fall is the best time to fertilize, as there is much less
chance of encouraging disease. If you have any sources that state
otherwise, I'd be happy to see them. And I do it every year on my
lawn and it looks super, nice and green all winter.

I stand corrected. The grasses named by the OP will benefit from fall
fertilizing. My advice pertained to warm season grasses which general
recommendations state not to fertilize later than August. Which is
where the difference of opinion comes in.

Perhaps you should take a class in reading comprehension and how to
express yourself. Even this latest post makes no sense. You made a
snide comment about my advice, accusing me of trying to sell
fertilizer, which implies that is the basis for my answer that Fall is
an excellent time for the OP to fertilize, instead of waiting for
Spring. Which of course is quite silly, because you have no evidence
or reason to think I'm in any way connected to or benefitting from
people buying more fertilizer. And also, if you can read, in the post
you attacked, I spelled out the fertilizer requirements for his turf
for the entire season, and only suggested how he divide it up. So, he
could use the same amount of fertilizer regardless of when he puts it
down. And now you again say I showed up "selling feritilizer." Yet
at the same time you say the advice I gave was "not inappropriate."

So, what the hell exactly are you saying? When you figure it out and
can put it into writing, let us know.

You are trying to make a case based on "super-sod" bermuda which is a

More of that "I'm superior to you because I use usenet" crap.


No, more of that "G2 really borks posts, and an unbelievable amount of spam
originates there, which Google admittedly won't do anything about.".


Why is it that so many usenet people have a really shitty attitude??



Must be something to it, if "so many" feel that way, huh? ;)

That's a trap many in this forum, including me, fall into. We get so
used to giving advice about our own locale we forget that other parts
of the country/world have different plants & different problems. BTW,
what type grasses do ya'll have on your golf courses?

And say "around here" without sayig where "here" is?

As part of it's USENET "simulation", after 60 days, Google removes the
ability to reply to a post, which is fine, IMO. Unfortunately, they don't
remove the ability to reply by email, or forward that same post. It's a
completely borked interface, and the "powers that be" apparently wish to
keep it that way. No matter, I see very few posts that originate there, and
it makes for a *MUCH* better USENET experience. =)

having given some thought to the several different times
I've seen you mention the quality post originating from
people using google as their access to usenet I am now
most incline to agree with you. how is it the vast
majority of them seem to be in possession of a great
need to argue any point for the sole need of demanding
their view be considered as the only correct an applicable
one.

Sounds very nice! :)

It is pretty amazing. Although, temps have been trying to wreak havoc with
everything.


Man this has been a very strange growing season thus far up here.

We went from almost record temps and drought this summer, to eight inches
of rain in August so far, from one extreme to the next. Some are flooded in
the Mansfield area. :(

We've gone from one of the strangest freezes I can remember (around Easter)
to 105F (actual) last week. 100 tomorrow, they say. I'm bettin' on warmer.
=( Rain? Let's see. We got 1/2" last weekend. That was the first
measurable rain in about a month, with upper 90's for temps. Oh, ya, we got
..08" the other night. My bad. g


Chinch bug and dollar spot out the ying-yang now. Too soon to say what the
white grub population will be like. I'm hoping all this rain lately will
slow the chinch down a bit.

Bugs ain't been much of a problem, after some early jap beetles. It's so
****in' hot, *nothing* is stirring, heh.

Bummer, that's a tough environment to maintain turf grass or most anything
else for that matter. Do you have crops around you?

Well, corn is obviously done. Beans and wheat aren't looking too good.

No doubt. I'm surprised the heat doesn't trigger at least some level of a
surface insect problem. Perhaps you're on an island at that course. (not
much insect encroachment)?

Nah, just a bazillion chemicals, LOL.


That's where our lawns get them from for the most part here, especially in
developments where the homes are really squeezed in tight. The chinch will
literally run down the street to the next lawn and grow to 100 females/sg
ft fairly quick. Gang fun.

At any rate I hope you people get some much deserved rain soon, and NOT all
at once. Maybe fall will be better for both of us.

Ya, thanks man. And, I hope so! I'm ready for some nice, cool, fall
plantings. =D
