Doc, While we're on this subject what do you think about this product.

I'm certainly looking into going liquid as Ralmaroad and greendoctor suggested, but Arturf's granular looks like a possibility if that doesn't happen...

How does this one look?

Since I'm on a granular fertilization schedule I usually fertilize 3-4 times a year(may-Aug or sept) at .5 lbs N per app. So we need to stay away from urea and potassium chloride. What are acceptable N sources to look for in a granular only fertilization program?

This one has about 25% slow release vs. the lebanon is 70% slow. The Anderson has manganese which isn't bad but do you need it? It is a very fine granular as this is a greens grade fert. What is the cost of this? I would think the lebanon is better for a centipede lawn. The anderson is designed more for greens.

I agree you can probably get superior results with liquid. Do you have the equipment to accurately apply?

No, I would have to get the backpack, etc. which was why I was initially preferring granular. On second look, I agree the lebanon product would probably be better. I have access to the Anderson products, but not sure where to get Lebanon/Proscape products in my area.

Fine for the rare lawn that needs P, K and micronutrient but absolutely no N.

Ammonium sulfate or MESA. I do not see ammonium sulfate as the primary nitrogen source very often. Almost everything granular has the very things that I do not ever want on any of my lawns. That is why I apply all liquid.

That is good stuff. But it is in the realm of the $30 and up bag of fertilizer. In my area, something like that is more like $60 per bag. It is a greens grade fertilizer with no coated urea and no potassium chloride. Nice stuff if you can afford it.

I was going to use it with the other ferts we have discussed for the N and additional K.
