Lawn Fertilization Tips -

A well-planned fertility program is an essential part of proper lawn maintenance. Lawns that are under-fertilized tend to be thin with poor color. Lawns that are over-fertilized, especially with high levels of soluble nitrogen fertilizer, tend to have thatch problems and are more prone to insect and disease damage.
The goal of a good fertilizer program is to produce a reasonable amount of top growth, but not at the expense of root growth or carbohydrate storage. A good root system is a key factor to a healthy lawn.
Most lawn experts agree that fertilizers with N (Nitrogen), P (Phosphorus), and K (Potassium) analysis ratios of 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 (or ratios in that range) are acceptable for use on any lawn. An example of this would be a fertilizer bag with a 21-7-14 ratio. The fertilizer should also have at least one-half of its Nitrogen in a slow-release form.
The best time to fertilize your lawn is when it’s actively growing and in need of nutrients. Lawn fertilization is truly the case of a little occasionally is good, but a lot at one time is bad for the grass.
