 That's not the world I live in, but I guess people do live like that. Then you're going to need about five pounds per thousand square feet. Any more than that and it's really not going to do the lawn much good because the lawn can't pick up enough fertilizer fast enough for it to be more beneficial. Just about everybody overfertilizes their lawn, especially now that we're all using four steps and five steps that will be told to use on the lawn.
