Don't Forget to Fertilize Your Lawn - September & October is Prime Time

Fertilizing your tall fescue lawn in the fall is a must!

September and October are the ideal months for fertilizing and helping the established lawn grow deeper roots for next season.

There is still time to get a quality fertilizer, one with a high water insoluble nitrogen (WIN) content.  You'll want to apply (on average) one pound of nitrogen for 1000 square feet of lawn size. 

For detailed information and suggested schedules for maintenance and installation of turf grasses in Virginia, please see the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service web site
(www.ext.vt.edu) and the selected documentation.

The turf grass annual schedule of recommended applications and maintenance is linked here.
