KC 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. KC 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. http://www.super-sod.com/info-guide-.../www.super-sod .co m/info-guide-centipede.html 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. Bermuda isn't really turf-grass anyway is it? it looks like grass weeds to me.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Most golf course use it. Footbal fields? Baseball, Soccer? So yeah, it's a turf grass. Not aroumd here they don't. LMAO! Where /do/ they come from? Oh.... I see... G2... *shakes head* -- Eggs -A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good. |
