Best fertilizer to promote lateral growth for bare spots

quote:

---

1/2 pound of 46-0-0 every two weeks to spoon feed it with a spray cart.

.5 pound per thousand sf2 of 46/0/0 every two weeks? I feel like that is a shite ton of nitrogen, no? Bermuda is supposed to get a total of 2-4 pounds per thousand over the course of a year. You're hitting that in 2 or 3 months unless I am mistaken.

Can feed 1-1.5lbs per month when it's growing for sure. Cut it as often as you can and it should help. I'm slamming nitrogen right now and cutting at least 3x per week with my reel mower. Now that the weather is heating up you should see some improvement. No telling if you should feed anything other than nitrogen without a soil test. Follow this and it should put you on track

Bermuda Bible

Get a soil test and see if it needs phosphorus (P). Many soils have plenty of P, the middle number of the 13-13-13 example. But if, in your case, P is deficient, that could hinder the spread.

I see common Bermuda tacking down roots and spreading in gravel both at home and in the parking lot at work.

I don’t think P or K is an issue.
I put down a triple 13 in the spring then straight N. Lowe’s Sta-Green Ammonium Sulfate is all you need. If lawn is low in ph use 46-0-0 urea instead.

I do have RGS (root growth stimulator) but that’s only because I enjoy spraying stuff on the lawn. Kind of kidding, but not convinced it works. It contains sea kelp. Can’t hurt

Mowing about every 3/4 days but will be starting to mow every two since grass is starting to grow a little more the last few days
Will be putting plugs in some of the bare area tomorrow and watering it in to help.
