Hi,

We recently purchased a house (our first) in Atlanta (Roswell), GA,
and have several questions concerning lawn care. The kind of
questions we have a

when to put fertilizer


Fall fertilizing is most important, ferilize in March wth
pre-emergence, fertilize in June with organic fertilizer (only).

when to put weedicide


Kill weeds in spring.

when to aerate


Aerate and overseed with starter fertilizer in fall. Use a mix of
fescue grasses (Rebel is very good).


We have fescue in the back and bermuda in the front. It appears
that fescue needs re-seeding. When is a good time to do that?
Also, there seem to be several types of fescues. How would we
know which is ours?

We realize that people in this newsgroup are avid gardening
enthusiasts and would probably be irritated by these
basic questions. We would really appreciate a link to website(s)
which covers these issues. Google ing didn't get us very far!

Thanks.
