please help me identify this fertilizer
I remember seeing an ad for a lawn fertilizer on TV. It says we just
have to buy and use it twice a year. I'm really getting tired of these fertilizers that say we have to use in Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Can anyone please tell me what is that fertilizer that I can just use twice a year and it will maintain the lawn well? Two applications are enough or should I do that four times a year thing? I want my lawn to be healthy and beautiful. I want to see how much the marginal benefit is by fertilizing it 4 times versus 2. Any comments, please feel free. Thanks. |

hi ted...
This is mridul and i'm from india. Actually i don't know what advertisement have u seen on the TV but for you garden i will suggest u to go for "organic gardening". Many indian farmers, gardeners are using "BONE MEAL" as fertilizers. Like if u plant rose the while sowing the plant just add 1 teaspoon of "bone meal" and do it after every three months. remember....DO NOT PUT MORE THAN A TEASPOON OTHERWISE THE PLANT WILL DIE. bone meal is availabale in bulk quatities over here. i guess u'll not find problem to get it. regards Mridul (ted) wrote in message . com...

I haven't fertilized my St. Augustine lawn in years, and it looks quite nice IMO. I leave the cuttings where they lay after mowing. YMMV. But the best suggestion is the previous reply: have the soil tested and fertilize based on the results. The ads you see are designed to sell fertilizer, not make your lawn healthy. Those companies that produce the ads know that if your lawn looks bad afterward, you are likely to miss the connection between overfertilizing and the poor results, so maybe you'll go buy their other chemicals to try to correct some imagined problem. I feel like I've just been bagged and dressed by a troll, but these facts bear repeating often.

Why not add a light layer of compost every fall and be done with it. Fertilizing lawns in spring and summer just stresses them, anyway.
