What kind of fertilizer?
Many fertilizers on the market today are combinations. Some fertilizers may be mixed with weed controls, pest controls, moss controls or dandelion controls. If you have a disease or pest problem, you can purchase the treatment separately and apply it based on your needs.
When to apply nitrogen?
Avoid applying nitrogen when your lawn is dormant or has not yet greened up. The growing stimulant provided by nitrogen could end up encouraging weed growth or the growth of other unwanted grasses in your lawn.
Time Released Fertilizers
Make sure you read the label on the fertilizer you buy to know how long it lasts. Time released fertilizers can slowly release nutrients from 2-8 months. Make sure to provide enough interval between fertilizing to allow the previous application to finish, thereby avoiding over-fertilization and possibly burning your lawn with the next application.
Excess Buildup on Lawns
Before fertilizing, make sure the lawn does not have an excess buildup of thatch that can suspend the fertilizer in the grass leaves and inhibit it from reaching the soil. This can burn the grass leaves.
When to fertilize?
Avoid fertilizing your lawn during periods of drought or when it is excessively dry. Most fertilizers need good waterings after fertilizing and without, it could burn your lawn.
Where to fill your fertilizer?
Always fill the fertilizer over a driveway or cement surface, and not over your lawn. Spilling fertilizer on small areas of the lawn can burn and leave areas that make your lawn look unattractive
Cleaning your fertilizer spreader
Try to rinse-off or clean your spreader after each usage. Not only can it create a dusty mess, it will also corrode metal parts of your spreader over time.
Instructions on fertilizer bags
If you have children or pets, exposure to fertilizer can pose a serious health risk to them. Make sure when applying the fertilizer that you follow the instructions on the bag or bottle. Make sure to keep pets and people away from the lawn for the time specified in the instructions.
