I'd like to solicit your opinions and advice. As you can see from the pictures and video I have limited sunlight over my turf which I recognize inhibits the speed of growth. However, is there anything I can do to promote growth in the extremely thin areas? I certainly don't want to damage the turf with over fertilizing, but I'm also not sure how aggressive I can actually be. I've itemized my fertilizations over the last 30 days as follows:

5/10 - of top dressing
Southern States 19-19-19
5/16
Lesco 18-24-12
5/18
Monthly turf company application




Timelapse of Sun coverage 9:45am-330pm

How many lbs of each did you put out?

I may be going out on a limb here, but I'm going to say way too much.

Unfortunately the only application I personally applied was the lesco which was 1.5lbs over 1500 sf. The top dressing company applied the 19-19-19 and I'm not sure how much the turf company applied.

In my opinion I think that's way to much. Make sure your water the lawn well.

Bring in some quality top soil in and till it in with what you currently have. Seed at 8lbs. per 1000 sq/ft, apply straw, keep moist and NO more fertilizer. It is obviously saturated with salts from the over abundance of fertilizer. The mistake people make most often is too much fertilizer - if a little is good, more must be better - NOT!

Yeah, I wouldn't do this. This sounds like a cool season grass thing.

I know it's coming up on Easter but what's up with resurrecting these old threads??

Damnit.. I didn't even notice the thread resurrection. After replying I kept thinking that post was a bot because first post and it just doesn't make any sense.

This confirms it though.

Man, TLF isn't what it used to be.

It's all good. The way they present some of these Recommended threads, based on keywords alone, creates this issue. I'm learning to ignore that. And yes, I agree with you.

That was horrible advice from the bot. @Kicker you almost have to reply to these posts because someone could see the bad advice and follow it.
