Put Your Lawn on a Diet
Summary
Discover the optimal way to feed your lawn to ensure it stays lush, healthy, and resistant to pests and diseases.Article
Achieving a vibrant green lawn doesn’t mean overloading it with fertilizer. Just like people, lawns thrive on moderation. Research from the University of Guelph highlights the benefits of a balanced feeding schedule for your lawn.
Researcher Christopher Hall has identified an optimal fertilizer schedule. He suggests applying fertilizer three times a year for the best results. Begin in early summer, when the ground warms and the grass starts to grow. At this time, apply one-quarter of the total fertilizer needed.
The next quarter should be applied in late summer, around mid-August, as autumn rains encourage growth. The final and largest application?"half of the total fertilizer?"should be made at the end of November. This timing strengthens the roots, helping the grass survive winter. This schedule enhances turf density across various grass types, especially perennial ryegrass and tall fescues.
Now, you might wonder how much fertilizer is necessary. Hall found that using just 2 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet over the entire season is ideal. Distribute it as follows: 0.5 pounds in early summer, 0.5 pounds in late summer, and 1 pound in late November for a thick, healthy lawn.
Overfeeding leads to issues such as thatch buildup and weak grass, making your lawn more vulnerable to pests and diseases?"and it’s costly too. So, adopt a balanced approach and put your lawn on a diet for a greener, healthier yard.
