| Only good slow release fertilizer I can find is a Howard Johnson 38-0-0. On the bag it has:
38% Urea Nitrogen
*19% Nitrogen stable w/dicyandiamide & N-(n-butyl)thiophosphoric triamide
Chlorine, not more than 6%
Does this mean it is 50% slow release and 50% fast release? Also should I apply 1lb of nitrogen per 1k sq feet like is normally recommended? On this bag it says apply 1.5 per 1k sq feet. |

| Beats me but it sounds like the soup recipe they served in their restaurant 30 years ago on Route 66 between Tulsa and Chicago. |

| Yes, that is a 50% slow release fertilizer. Wonder why the bag rate is less? Maybe to reduce an explosion of growth from the fast release component? |

| so how much should i apply? |

| Real easy take the first number which is nitrogen and divide it into 100 to find how many pounds of product to use per 1000 square feet. 100/38 = 2.6 lbs/Kf2 |

| Yeah i got that but im wondering if i should apply 1 pound of nitrogen per 1k feet or 1.5. So should i apply 2.6 lbs or 3.9 lbs per 1k? |
RE: Bermuda Fertilizer question

| Why would you want to over fertilize with 1.5 pounds? |
RE: Bermuda Fertilizer question
| | |
| Because thats the recommended rate on the bag. Thats why i was asking. |
