I have a zoysia lawn in a new house and I�m trying to do some research on proper care. A couple of sources say to use a slow-release fertilizer on this type of grass (UF site as well as the contractor that the warranty department has sent over). I�m thinking that the liquid fertilizer that my lawn care company (Dean�s) is using has nitrogen that is all �water-soluble� and is not slow-release. I talked to my Dean�s rep about using a slow-release granule but he said that they don�t use this unless a lawn is really bad off (apparently mine isn�t that bad yet), and I didn�t pursue it further. Any insights or experience here? Thanks.
