In the heat of summer I usualy set 1 or more number less, fast growth
is not good at the hottest times of the year it stresses the lawn,
even high nitrogen fertiliser stresses it more than a lower nitrogen
count. You really have to judge how it comes out yourself, Scotts
businees is selling fertiliser, I dont believe you need 1/4 of what
they say unless you have bad dirt.
