Default What kind of products should I put on the lawn?

Since I got chewed out by lawn guy I`ll try another post with more
info. I would like to know what to put
down on my lawn now and also next spring.
I am in central Va. and the soil is mostly red clay and is slightly
acidic. The grass is mostly fescue and rye with a few unknown weeds that
I keep cut to about 3 in. I hope
this is enough info. Thanks for an answer.


I have always had a good success rate by first concentrating on correcting
the pH. since you mention your soil to be "slightly acidic" I would recommend
you start with lime, granular lime. usually obtained at Lowes at a cost of
around $3.99 for a 40 pound bag.

as for a feeding guide take a look at this reference.

this is not a recommendation for their products.
