I put down .70 10-10-10

I'm wondering how to you keep your lawn from Nitrogen burn. I have watered for 30min burn, watered for 1 1/2 hrs burn, this week I watered for 45min waited for 30min watered another 40min then hand watered and I still got Nitrogen burn.

What else can I try? I have zenith zoysia in Atlanta

Are you trying to grow it in?

My understanding is that Zoysia doesn't need a lot of N input. Perhaps scale back to .5 lb N/1000/month over an 7-8 month growing season. Maybe search for an polymer coated slow release? I think it would work well in your application with Zoysia. Check this article out http://grounds-mag.com/mag/grounds_maintenance_food_turf_slowrelease/

Another option would be going with a 90% Milorganite program. No burns from it, only fine aromas.
