when to put lawn food on
The most important time to fertilize your lawn is in the fall to help you lawn develop a strong root system. Apply 1.5 to 2.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. Use a lawn fertilizer with a higher amount of nitrogen, if your grass type is Kentucky bluegrass or perennial ryegrass, or soil is sandy, or grass clippings are not returned to the lawn. Greenview recommends applying Greenview Fairway Formula Fall Fertilizer 0 Phosphate in early September.
