Hi all. Question for the Southern lawn gurus.
My plan calls for a healthy P bump this year (it’s woefully low). As such, the ninjas of the soil forum have recommended double feedings for most of the year to catch up. Since I also need some K, I’m gonna go with a balanced 14-14-14 at bag rate monthly (hybrid Bermuda, Central Texas). The 14-14-14 is polymer coated for a nice slow release. My question is, is it ok to also apply some Milorganite at bag rate between feedings (off cycle) to further boost the P? Any issues with nitrogen build up assuming proper irrigation?
Double check application rates pls

I can answer the P question; it's fine. The Milo will slow tap enough that it's not an issue. And the P levels on Spackler's soil are not woefully low, they're a little Tiny Tim wandering around saying, "More, please?"
What worries me is the N release on the Bermuda with some slow release on the 14-14-14 and organic slow release on the Milo at normal rates. I'd recommended regular feedings in May, June, August, and September with 14-14-14, and Milo on the normal schedule Spackler wants to use.
