No matter the project, success depends on fostering growth. But understanding what to feed a project — the right fertilizer — is key.
For grass, a nourishing blend of nutrients helps it thrive. A combination of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium keeps the lawns lush and healthy.
But even more important than what goes into the fertilizer blend is when you apply it. Knowing when to nourish your grass will make all the difference in getting lush growth versus disappointing results.
Timing varies based on the type of grass and climate conditions. In general, though, fertilizer should be applied no less than three times each growing season for excellent health. Each application should happen gradually over time rather than all at once.
You also need to consider grass care beyond fertilization: mowing regularly and irrigation are important too. Yearly treatments with a preventative insecticide can be beneficial as well, depending on local weather patterns and pests.
When used together in careful doses, these techniques can stimulate robust growth that’s naturally resistant to drought and weeds, enhancing both beauty and performance season after season.
