Hey y'all,
I got my first soil test back from Clemson the other day and it was about what I expected but with a few surprises. I have roughly 3,000 sqft and have 2 - 1,000 sqft sections of centipede and another 1,000 sqft section that I have begun killing off with glyphsate to plant Arden 15 seed towards the end of May.
Obviously my ph of 5.5 is not ideal for bermuda and I plan to correct that before seeding. Clemson recommends 75lb/1,000 of dolomitic limestone. Does this amount seem normal? Is there a maximum amount that should be put down at any given time? Is there a preferred brand of this product that is utilized on this forum?
Secondly, I noticed that my phosphorous levels are off of the charts. Knowing that starter ferts are higher in phosphorous should I still use one when seeding? Or acknowledge that my soil is already high in phosphorous and go with a balanced fertilizer at seeding instead?
Thanks in advance for any help/input!
