Routine fertilization is the key to a healthy green lawn all season long. A well-fertilized and well-maintained lawn resists weeds and has stronger drought-tolerant root system. Traditional slow-release fertilizers should be applied twice a year; once in spring and once in fall. Today, kid and pet-friendly organic lawn fertilizers are offered at most garden centers and home improvement stores.
Quick-release and liquid lawn fertilizers are ideal for applying to newly seeded lawns. Apply quick-release lawn fertilizers before over-seeding, planting plugs, or establishing new sod. Quick-release lawn fertilizers often contain water soluble iron and micronutrients. These quick release formulas are often called Starter Fertilizer or Ironite. Ready-to-use hose-end sprayers are also available with organic or traditional ingredients.
Controlled-release fertilizers are high in nitrogen on release nutrients slowing over the growing season. Slow-release products are the mainstays of lawn fertilization. Most professionals recommended applying lawn fertilizer twice per year, once in the spring, after the first rush of growth is over and once in the fall about a month before the first frost. Organic and all natural lawn fertilizers are available from the leading brands. These products have the same benefits as traditional products, without the worry. Always apply fertilizer using a spreader for safe and even distribution.
Weed and Feed products like Turf Builder Plus contain a combination of slow-release fertilizer and pre-emergent herbicides to control annual weeds. For maximum effectiveness, these weed and feed products should be applied in late water or early spring before the crabgrass and annual weeds start to germinate. Certain warm season grasses are affected by pre-emergents. Read directions and warnings carefully before applying. In temperate climates, a general rule of thumb is to apply pre-emergents immediately after the forsythias are finished flowering. When applied in late autumn, weed and feed is effective at preventing cool season annuals, like chickweed, from germination. Pre-emergents are usually labeled as weed and feed or fertilizer plus herbicide. The combination products are is most commonly sold in a granular form, but hose-end sprayers are also available.
