How Long Between Scott's Fertilizer Applications?
How Long Between Scott's Fertilizer Applications?. Lawns are growing, living carpets that need to be properly maintained to keep their lush green appearance. Fertilizer applications at the correct time can help sustain the life and beauty of your lawn.
Lawns are growing, living carpets that need to be properly maintained to keep their lush green appearance. Fertilizer applications at the correct time can help sustain the life and beauty of your lawn.
Early Spring Feeding
Early spring, between February and April is a good time to lay down that first treatment of fertilizer. Applying fertilizer on a light snow will help you see where the fertilizer has landed so you don't miss or overfeed any areas. If you know you have crabgrass, this is a great time to apply a pre-emergent that will help control weeds before they begin to grow.
Late Spring Feeding
In the late spring a "weed-and-feed" is recommended by scotts.com to green up the lawn and kill any broadleaf weeds and dandelions that are actively growing.
Summer Feeding
Summer can be stressful on a lawn with increased foot traffic, insect attacks and drought. Feeding in the summer helps your lawn stay strong and healthy. Scotts.com recommends using a Turf BuilderŽ with SummerGuardŽ if you notice any insect damage.
Fall Feeding
It is important not to let the lawn go into its dormant stage without one last feeding. Feeding in the fall just before dormancy gives grass roots an added boost of nitrogen that they can store for an early green spring.
