Why wait till Spring to fertilize? Fall is an excellent time to apply ferilizer


There are divided opinions on this subject and I gave the one I was
taught. Existing growth benefits but new growth suffers. Rationale is
that nitrogen stimulates new growth late in the season and this growth
does not have time to toughen up before freezes, thus dying.
