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.
Time Fertilization with the Weather. Fertilizer applied in a drought is more likely to burn a lawn than to help it grow. Fertilizer and water are both necessary for photosynthesis, so without rain, fertilizer won't work properly. Check the weather, and fertilize only before the forecast calls for a steady light rain.
