  • Approximately 4 weeks after germination, apply a slow-release high nitrogen fertilizer such as Pennington Lawn Food* which has a N-P-K of 27-4-6 for a nice healthy green summer lawn.
  • For quicker establishment the first year, continue to apply 1 1/2 pounds of a high nitrogen fertilizer per 1,000 square feet every month during the growing season. Bermuda responds well to regular applications of nitrogen.
