Proper Lawn Fertilization Is Important 365 Days a Year

When customers think of lawn fertilization, springtime and summer come to mind. As tired, worn grass emerges from underneath the snow, customers race to the lawn and garden care store to purchase lawn fertilizer in the hopes of returning their lawn to greener days. Unfortunately, this type of last-minute, pre-season lawn fertilization doesn’t bring the kind of results you want to see.

Although lawn fertilizing is vital to a healthy lawn when warm months return, proper lawn fertilization is important to keeping your grass healthy and strong during its winter slumber:

• Spring is the ideal time of year to give your grass much-needed CPR. The ideal lawn fertilizer is a balanced mixture of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium with 30% of the nitrogen being slow release.
• Summer is when your lawn is in the maintenance phase. To ensure your grass stays lush and green, apply weed killer to prevent spring broadleaf weeds, dandelions, clovers and plantains.
• Autumn is the time to prepare your lawn for snow and freezing temperatures by adding lawn fertilizer before the ground is frozen. Aim for early to mid-November; once the ground freezes in late November lawn fertilization becomes less effective.
• Winter is when your fall, spring and summer efforts will pay off. If you maintained impeccable lawn care during the warm months, your lawn should be protected and nurtured underneath its snowy cocoon.

Which Elements Are Needed for the Best Lawn Fertilization Food?

Lawn fertilization can be a confusing process. Too much of one chemical can burn your lawn, but too little may not do the job. The combination of a balanced lawn fertilizer with proper water and protection will help you to create a lush, deep green lawn.

Three major components make up the best lawn fertilization food for your turf:

• Nitrogen is the main element needed for a deep, green lawn. Nitrogen makes grass grow at a steady pace and encourages a strong, healthy lawn
• Potassium works in conjunction with nitrogen to toughen roots and enhances their ability to resist drought and disease
• Phosphorus supports potassium’s work and boosts root growth and strong grass
