My Grass is Growing!

17 years ago

I have some St. Augustine in the front that was treated poorly by the prior owners. I decided to go organic route entirely. I had the soil tested and in March I added just the right amount of molasses, cottonseed, poultry manure blend and bone meal.

If you look at my past posts you'll see the sad state of affairs in march, early April. We've gotten some good rain and I've fixed all the sprinklers. So far, success, the lawn is far from perfect, but it has been pretty amazing watching what has grown. The lawn is shooting up lots of new runners (the young ones are greenish yellow).

I've left the grass clipping on the lawn (I have a toro super recycler set on mulch). So I want to keep the good times rolling.

I was thinking about putting 1 lb/1000 sq feet of nitrogen on the grass using corn gluten meal, poultry manure mix and more dried molasses.

Does it make sense? Too early, too much nitrogen?

Thanks!
