do you use 1/2 a pound of fertilzer or nitrogen. 1 pound of N does not mean you weigh 1 lb of material out of the bag. Read the directions. 400 sq ft green you should use 2 1/2 pounds of material out of the bag. This will be roughly 1 lb of N. Do it once a month until satisfied with the growth. I'm in Akron, Oh so pretty much same climate. Don't ever roll your green, it causes what you try to avoid by aerating, if not smooth top dress every week lightly.
: Brett, thanks for help. I am in Long
: Island, NY. I have only fertilized
: once (last week). Sod farm told me
: the bent was pretty juiced up when
: delivered (6 weeks ago). I use
: 18-24-21. Green is only 400 sq. Ft.
: So I use less then 1/2 lb. Should I
: go with higher Nitrogen fertilizer
: or is it to late? Should I roll
: after topdress or let it be? Thanks

: 6 week old bent sod green. I cut at
: 1/4" at least 5 times a week.
: Color is ok, wish it was a little
: richer. It has been in the 90's
: here so I am a little hesitant to
: fertilize. On closer inspection
: there is still alot of room between
: blades and some yellowing below.
: Just wondering how this works am I
: missing something or just need to be
: patient? Water twice a day morning
: and late afternoon 20 min. 400 sq.
: ft. Roll is ok but still a little
: bumpy. Have topdressed twice in May.
: Am I done for the rest of the
: season or should I continue to
: topdress? Thanks Gang.
