Mariposa Lawn
Mariposa lawn chemical soil test results:
| Test | Value | Meaning | Element for 320 sq ft | Fertilizer for 320 sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pH | 6.2 | good | – | – |
| N | 0.3 | depleted | 4.6ozs | 21ozs 22-3-4 |
| P | 3.8 | surplus | – | – |
| K | 3.5 | surplus | – | – |
We’ll use 29-3-4 but rate it only 22-3-4 as 7-0-0 is slow release.
For the small middle patch of lawn we’ll use 7ozs for 100 sq ft. For the lower triangle of lawn we’ll use 14ozs for 220 sq ft.
The lawn was fertilized according to the foregoing instructions on August 22. Subsequently the lawn was reported to be “looking good.”  About five weeks after the fertilizing, on September 29, we asked for a report and learned that the fertilizer seemed to have a beneficial effect. The lawn was still “looking good” and some former brown spots had filled in and were doing well.
