For posting pictures, first you need to have a URL for the photo. THat means it must be posted on the Internet somewhere. Mine are posted at Dropbox. Here's the URL for one of mine.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/324082/QQ%27s%20lawn%20at%20five%20eighths%20of%20an%20inch%20-1.jpg

Note that the URL starts with http and ends with .jpg. Those are required. What goes between that will differ depending on where your images are hosted.

Then the code you need to post looks like this.

with the greater than and less than brackets on each end. So mine would look like this.

and looks like this when posted.

Well I assume you got those odd ratios from a soil test right? Completely ignore whatever it says about nitrogen, especially since you have Bermuda grass, it is meaningless. You are going to need 1 pound of nitrogen per 100/ft2 every 30 days.

I would also not advise chasing some non existent ratio, Bermuda grass is not that picky, all it really wants is nitrogen.

There is a commercial product that is almost the perfect ratio and any garden center carries it. 10-20-10. Apply 10 pounds of product to every 1000/ft2 one time and you get just what the doctor ordered, and it is dirt cheap.

Then for the rest of the year apply a slow release urea 39-0-0 product every 30 days until 30 days before your first frost date..

That should be " 1 pound of nitrogen per 1000/ft2.

If you are still looking, most starter fertilizers have a high P. Lesco starter is 18-24-12. Scotts is lower, but it has a finer consistency, and dissolves faster.

Thank yall for your help.

We have had a declining 419 yard for 3 years. Along with fert. We received news of a pH of 5. So lime is our first project.I have purchased and LOVE my new reel mower. Water 1 in per week in one sesion and put out the initial fert. Of a 15-5-10 (before the soil sample) at a rate of 1 lb/1000 sqft. I am giving it one more season to shape up or ship out.LOL I put the fert on April 22 so I am due for the N application next week. Just trying to do it right. Acidic pH in heavy blackland soil...go figure. Thought clay was suppose to be basic.

We received news of a pH of 5.

I don't mean to discourage you, but give up on Bermuda grass. You are never going to be able to ever correct the PH to a suitable level for Bermuda grass, Saint Augustine or any other type.

You only real option is Centipede grass. You will never have to add lime or worry about soil test ever again. Just drag an empty bag of fertilizer around the yard each spring and you are done for the year. Keep it watered and mow once a month whether it needs it or not.

Surprisingly enough -- Bermuda + weeds is probably the #1 long term "Survivor" lawn around here.... which is totally crazy because we have amazingly poor clay soil full of rocks which averages 4.5 - 5.5 PH... Bermuda shouldn't really do well.... but just try to get rid of the stuff.....

Typically, you see these older "lawns" that probably started with something different... but eventually transform after years of short mowing into a mix of healthy Bermuda + miscellaneous short grassy weeds and clovers... but it makes a soft green carpet... Nice on your feet and it just hangs in there *forever*...

Sure, it will never be a Golf course green... but it is unbelievably drought tolerant and puts up surprisingly well with a giant dose of short mowing + benign neglect...

Thanks

Tripple superphosphate is what you are seeking.

You used to be able to buy it in 50# bags but I think those days are gone.
