Last feeding for Meyer Zoysia

Posted by kbinmd 6b/ N. Central MD (My Page) on

I use Milorganite, CGM pellets, Soybean meal or Alfalfa pellets in no special order to feed my Zoysia a few times a year. I've never really given it much thought until now and I was wondering what was the lastest i should put this stuff down? The plugs have spread at a faster pace than I expected. I bascially hand fed the plugs and mowed shorter in hopes they would be stronger than the surrounding fescue.

Thanks

Looks like in my area, August is the cutoff date?

Err you do know Zoysia only requires two fertilizer application per growing season right?

One just after spring green up, and last application 8 to 10 weeks later and you are done for the year.

If you live on the Gulf coast or area with a 9 month or longer growing season you can apply 3 apps, with the 3rd app 8 to 10 weeks after 2nd application.

If you have been doing this, I suggest you check your thatch build up.
