Question on Organic Fertilizer and Thatch for dchall_san_antonio

Any comment is welcome, but I am hoping dchall_san_antonio will answer since he has been using organic fertilizer for a long time.

We are trying an organic product this year on a 3 year old KBG lawn. The product is granular. What I have realized if that our lawn has lot of thatch..... probably between 1/2 to 3/4". My question is: Will the granular organic fertilizer still be useful? Will it breakdown to help microbial activity in soil or will it just sit on top of thatch layer and never get to the soil?

Please let me know your opinion. Thanks.

    I'm pretty sure that David will want to know what "granular" you are using.

    It's Earthworks Replenish 10-2-5. It's really a bridge product....but datasheet says that it has 70% organic matter. I don't know the granule size if that's what you meant.
