Fertilization/Seeding
The Importance of Fertilization.
Turfgrasses must be properly fertilized to stay the right color, thickness, and health. Also, a well-fed grass recovers more quickly from stress and is more aggressive against weeds. As with all living things, proper nutrition is important to prevent diseases and insects.
In Edwardsville you should fertilize your lawn 2 to 3 times per year: Memorial Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving (skip Thanksgiving for twice a year schedule). This timing is conducive to the natural growth cycle of turfgrass, and using the 'holiday schedule' makes it easier to remember!
The difficulty with designing your own lawn fertilization program is being able to address the potential need for weed and insect controls. That's why it's often simplest to use a lawn maintenance program.
