Where do you find a lawn food that gives you seven months of nutrition?
It's not 7 months from mid April to early Sept. And in summer, cool
season grasses do not want to be agressively growing. While extra
nitrogen in summer will make the lawn greener, it also makes it a lot
more vulnerable to disease and fungus. IMO, for the typical lawn, the
tradeoff is not worth it. You could put down another application in
late May, but I definitely would not be applying fertilizer in mid
summer.
