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.

If you look at the advice of university agricultural services and
turf authorities, I haven't seen any disagreement. In fact, most of
them state that Fall is the best time to fertilize, as there is much
less chance of encouraging disease. If you have any sources that
state otherwise, I'd be happy to see them. And I do it every year on
mylawnand it looks super, nice and green all winter.

your advice is dependent upon the type of turf one is managing.

both are warm season active cool season dormant grasses
yet they have different feeding requirements.

leaving the uninformed uninformed allows for increased
seed and fertilizer sales resulting in an industry net
gain. is it the right thing to do?- Hide quoted text -

If you read the original post, the question was:

"Here are the results of mylawnsoil test. Can you recommend soil
amendments or treatments? Have rye,fescueand bluegrass in central
CT. "

It's clear the question and answer I gave were for cool season grasses
in CT, not warm season grasses. Fall fertilization is clearly
appropriate. So save the nonsense about trying to increase fertlizer
sales.

I understood you completely, Trader, and you were spot on with your advice.

That's a trap many in this forum, including me, fall into. We get so
used to giving advice about our own locale we forget that other parts
of the country/world have different plants & different problems. BTW,
what type grasses do ya'll have on your golf courses?

My advice pertained to warm season grasses which general
recommendations state not to fertilize later than August.

What's a "warm season"?

I maintain 3 types of grass. Tall Fescue in the front yard (3000 sf),
Hybrid Bermuda in the back yard (5000 sf) and my neighbors weeds (2000
sf) on either side.

A couple of weeks ago, I received an e-mail response to a threaded

I was not the OP of the original message, nor was I offering anything to

but was still somewhat OT, and I was just adding a similar story to
another responder's story.

As part of it's USENET "simulation", after 60 days, Google removes the
ability to reply to a post, which is fine, IMO. Unfortunately, they don't
remove the ability to reply by email, or forward that same post. It's a
completely borked interface, and the "powers that be" apparently wish to
keep it that way. No matter, I see very few posts that originate there, and
it makes for a *MUCH* better USENET experience. =)
