Careful Fertilizing Urged As Fertilizer Shortage Bites
Texas A&M turf expert Dr. Richard Duble urges homeowners to use fertilizer wisely amid rising prices and limited supplies. He outlines lawn specific needs for St Augustine centipede Zoysia Bermuda and recommends spring and fall applications two pounds of nitrogen per thousand square feet with slow releasing options and deeper mowing to boost root systems and nutrient use. Clippings should be left to decompose to recycle nutrients and reduce fertilizer needs.
