I was going to add some 29.1 # of Organic 11-2-2 from a big box store and then 4 bags of LadyBug Greensand this week.

I have 3000sqft of Celebration Bermuda that I am trying to keep alive in this brutal drought we are having.

The organic isn't a bad option. I looked into that Ladybug brand thanks for the suggestion I didn't know they were local. They have an 8-2-4 that looks promising. I've been using 29-0-4 stuff this year that has done well but I'm afraid at this point it will just burn. Mine is mostly hybrid overseeded with common in a few problem areas.

As long as you are able to water the 29-0-4 will be fine

Do not fertilize until the rains and cooler weather arrive. If you apply fertilizer in this heat with little water you will force the grass to do something it should not be doing in drought and excessive heat.

Thanks for the advice TW, hopefully we have a mild fall with some rain and I can nurse my lawn back to health.

Don't get to worked up about it. Just keep enough water on it to keep it from going completely dormant for now.

At one point I was planning to quit watering all together and just buy new sod next spring but we had one day last month with several inches of rain. It looks like we may get some rain from tropical storm Don too.

If you have Bermuda no reason to rip it up and relay it. Just nurse it along until wetter weather comes back, Bermuda will snap right back.

"Just nurse it along until wetter weather comes back, Bermuda will snap right back."

I'm beginning to think that is an "if" instead of a "when" TW. Yeah, I know, getting a little cynical.

rcnaylor yeah I'm losing faith by the day as we continue breaking records. Today is day 55 over 100 and the last 23 consecutive days have been over 100. Tropical storm Don was a bust and La Nina is being discussed. On a positive note I only have to mow every other week this summer.
