On the same rant Milo is garbage. Running a 6-4-0 and waiting for microbobes to break it down and available is a whole process I'm not willing to wait on. 0 Potassium is a no go for me.

Made my 2nd application of fertilizer yesterday (AS / 20.5-0-0). Used the same setting as last year that worked perfect for 2.5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft., but the fertilizer was a different source and the Prill size was not the same. After one pass I had only put out 10 lbs. mad . I made a small adjustment and went a different direction on the second pass and weighed the fertilizer that was left, and I had put down 24 lbs. for 10,000 sq. ft.. That`s almost .5 lbs. of N per 1000 and close enough for me.

After using fertilizer this year, I got bald spot. The good grass is growing, the weeds and whatnot, not so much. What can I put down that will be safe for me to mow and also allow for the grass to grow in the barren locations.

I'd rake the barren area to remove anything weak, then put down a mix of compost and topsoil.
You could then water in some bermuda seed in that area.

Thank you...was thinking something similar to this. Rake, then till with compost, then topsoil with Bermuda. Cover with some hay to help lock in moisture.

I use a Pro Plugger to fill in bare spots. Pull plugs from the good area and put in the bare. Fill the spots you pulled the plugs from with sand and the bermuda will cover those spots in no time.

Yes. I picked some up about 3 months ago when I ran across it.

Good evening, gentleman,

Work has kept me super busy but I wanted to check in. Everything is greening and thickening up really nicely. I'm still on the lowest setting of my mower and mowing every 3 or 4 days. Probably have to step that up soon, it's coming in fast! Thanks a lot, Derek, I've tried to stay on everything you've told me. Here's my routine so far if there are any other Bermuda newbies that want to follow along.
