Too much thatch would hurt the lawn in the summer but not in the Spring

it does not respond AT ALL when I fertilize it in early August.

Most comments here is that is just will not do well in the very hottest
part of the summer. So, I will try to wait until things cool a bit
before I fertilzie again.

Most good commercial lawn foods are formulated to not release their
nutrients during dry weather, otherwise they would burn the turf.

If you're not getting adequate irrigation (1 inch per week)don't bother
fertilizing.
