How much do I put out per year? I would also like a recommendation on a summer fertilizer. Spring feeding was Dilo dirt, Corn Gluton meal, Dried molassas, and Lava sand.

eanderso,

The rate that I have found posted here on the site that I have had sucess with is 40 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. But it only needs to be applied every 3-5 years. :)

I agree with Scott. You don't need green sand every year.

Regarding summer fertilizer, I use a protein based fertilizer on the 4th of July weekend and then let it go until Labor Day. The fertilizer(s) I used this time were a mix of corn meal, milo, and oats along with a soy bean meal I needed to get rid of. Usually I use alfalfa, also, but the soy meal was really getting infested with bugs and had to go.

Apply so the total of what you put down is about 10-20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. You can apply as much as you can afford, but these rates seem to be pretty economical and give great results.
