Need help after soil sample

19 years ago

I have just gotten the results of a soil sample. The lawn has a ph of 6.4. Phosphorus and Potassium are low. What is the best way and the best time to incorporate phosphorus and potassium into the soil? The bermuda sod was laid in May and we are currently in a complete watering ban. Thanks for any help.

What is low? With a complete watering ban there is not anything you can do other than put out the prescribed amounts without nitrogen and hope for rain.

We've been hearing that for the last 6 months. Don't hold your breath.

Under the new restrictions you can water under certain circumstances. Watering in herbicide and pesticide in the lawn is allowed. If you want to stretch it a little. Also if you have a landscape contractor do it then you can water.

Will a 0-10-10 fertilizer burn the lawn if it is not watered in and wait for rain to do the job?
