Late Fall Lawn Fertilization
|
If you only fertilize your lawn once a year, fall is the best and most important time. This feeding builds food reserve as winter approaches. The roots will be strong and healthy, and your lawn will be better prepared to green up quickly in spring.
In the north, we recommend applying Milorganite around Thanksgiving, before the first major freeze or snowfall. In the south, hold off on your next Milorganite application until Easter (after your lawn breaks dormancy).
