Watering and mowing alone will not make a healthy lawn. It must be fertilized. We have included a starter fertilizer in the mixture applied, but it is only sufficient to supply enough nutrients for about 30 to 45 days. It is important for the development of a healthy lawn that a fertilization program be started at this time.
The most important time to fertilize your lawn is in the fall to help you lawn develop a strong root system. Apply 1.5 to 2.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. Use a lawn fertilizer with a higher amount of nitrogen, if your grass type is Kentucky bluegrass or perennial ryegrass, or soil is sandy, or grass clippings are not returned to the lawn. Greenview recommends applying Greenview Fairway Formula Fall Fertilizer 0 Phosphate in early September.
