Lawn care schedule

I found this but I don't know if it applies in the south. It may though. Can somebody confirm? LINK

I have a centipede lawn that is not very big, so it is no trouble for me to spend time on it. I use Scott's weed and feed in late February or early March. I bought one of the spreaders that uses the pop in bag. When the bag is empty from the weed and feed, I buy a bag of general purpose fertilizer 10 10 10 and slit the feeder bag and pour in the general purpose fertilizer. I use the 101010 every thirty days after the initial weed and feed through June or early July. I don't apply any fertilizer after that. If you fertilize too late in the growing season, your grass may be subject to winter kill. I also treat problem areas of Bermuda grass with Over The Top and nutsedge with Image.

Does anybody know if the LSU Ag center has a publication on Centipede maintenance? I have one for Clemson but that is in South Carolina.

The best way to avoid centipede problems is to avoid over-fertilization by applying between 1 and, at most, 2 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per season

One pound
of nitrogen per 1000 square feet each year is usually enough
to maintain healthy, attractive centipede. Apply half in the
spring and half in July.

Where do you live and what type of grass?

I typically have a terrible time with the poa annua in the winter. I'm the a hole that has to cut his grass year round because the poa annua takes over.

I use this every year and it is spot on!!! This guy knows his lawns. The key is the products. Nitro Phos for the win.

I like that second LSU AG center link. I wish it had a better looking format though. Kind of like a month to month maintenance plan with troubleshooting like that one at the end.
