Lawn Fertilization Tips for Homeowners
When to Fertilize Your Turf. The first step to improving turf fertilization is to understand your lawn’s fertilization schedule. This will depend on its species of turf, as different types of grass have different fertilization schedules. Your lawn’s fertilization schedule will determine when fertilizer needs to be applied and what types of fertilizer need to be used at different times of the year.
How to Choose Fertilizer. The biggest factor when choosing a fertilizer are the N-P-K values. These values will tell you the percentage of nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K) in the fertilizer. Each of these nutrients has a different effect on turf. Nitrogen, for example, helps turf grow more quickly and promotes vibrant color. Phosphorous, on the other hand, is most important for growing healthy roots.
How to Fertilize Your Lawn. When you’re applying fertilizer, it’s important to apply the right amounts and to ensure even coverage. Pay careful attention to the instructions on fertilizer packaging, and invest in a quality spreader to improve application. After you’ve applied the fertilizer, you’ll want to water your lawn. This will allow the nutrients to filter down into the soil and reach the turf’s roots.
