BEST TIME TO FERTILIZE YOUR LAWN
Debbie Ornquist
A question was asked about fertilizing your lawn, when is a good time. The answer would be NOW until the end of October! Most plants are shutting down right now but your lawn is actively growing roots.
Use a slow release nitrogen fertilizer with the numbers 45-0-0. This way you won’t add unneccesary phosphorus or potassium. The rule of thumb is to apply 1 to 2 pounds of actual nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. This translates to 2 to 3 pounds of Urea per 1,000 sq. ft.
