The <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/how-to-read-soil-test-report\/\">soil test report<\/a> tells you everything you need to know, including:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Nutrient levels<\/li>    <li>Soil pH<\/li>    <li>Organic matter<\/li>    <li>Soil type<\/li> <\/ul>    <h4 id=\"npk\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">NPK<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary nutrients lawns need are known as <strong>NPK<\/strong>:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Nitrogen (N)<\/strong> gives grass its vibrant green color and encourages dense growth. <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/centipedegrass-guide\/\">Centipedegrass<\/a> doesn&#8217;t need as much nitrogen as other grasses, and too much makes it less tolerant and encourages excess thatch. Each year, apply no more than 0.5 &#8211; 2 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet.<\/li> <\/ul>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Phosphorous (P)<\/strong> develops root systems and is particularly important for new grass. Only give it to established centipede lawns if a soil test shows a phosphorous deficiency.<\/li> <\/ul>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Potassium (K)<\/strong> strengthens grass against weather, disease, and insects. Centipede needs extra potassium in late summer to stay healthy through winter dormancy.&nbsp;<\/li> <\/ul>    <h4 id=\"npk-ratio\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">NPK ratio<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each package of fertilize states its NPK ratio. For example, Safer Brand Lawn Restore Natural Fertilizer has an N-P-K of 9-0-2 and comes in a 20-pound bag. To determine how much Nitrogen (N) is in the bag, multiply 20 pounds by 9% (.09), which equals 1.8 pounds of nitrogen. The most common N-P-K recommendation for centipedegrass is <strong>15-0-15<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 id=\"micronutrients\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Micronutrients<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to NPK, centipede lawns need micronutrients. Grass only needs these in small doses, so only treat deficiencies confirmed by a soil test. Centipede lawns may need extra iron, manganese, or sulfur.<\/p>    <h3 id=\"fertilizer-type\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fertilizer type<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/the-best-type-of-fertilizer-for-your-grass\/\">types of fertilizers<\/a> to choose from:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Slow-release vs. quick-release fertilizer: <\/strong>Slow-release fertilizers slowly break down into the soil, and quick-release fertilizers give the grass an instant burst of nutrition.
