Hi, I noticed where my dog does his business on the lawn it grows a lot
faster. I haven't fertilized it since I can remember, just seeded. Now
that it's spring would it be an ok time to fertilize it? How much does
fertilizer cost? Any tips for putting it on?
Fall is the time to fertilize from GA north I am not sure about Florida.
Around here, VA, we use the "SOD" program which stands for September,
October and December. The "experts" recommend 1 lb. N for every 1000 sq.
ft. of lawn which works out to 10 lb.s of 10-10-10 for every 1000 sq. ft.
which is way too much. I cut it back to 0.5 lb. for S and O and to 0.25 lb.
N for D. In the summer months apply lime to get your pH up to the 6.5 -7.0.
Just be careful around acid-loving plants.
