You are probably looking at putting out 8-9 lbs of fertilizer per mat per year. Depending on how warm it is where you are I might consider only fertilizing in the winter if you get a lot of rain. Otherwise 1 lbs per month March-November and during the rainy season I'd think about putting out 1/4 lb per week because if we get 4-5 inches of rain one week you will lose all the fertilizer.
