cutting lawn
I've yet to fertilize my lawn this year and now it needs a cut. Should I
fertilize before or after my cut? If its helpful I'm in London Ontario. Between Detroit and Toronto. |

I actually fertilize DURING my first cut. The long grass helps line up the
rows and overlap so that I don't get any lines without food. I pull a fertilizer/aerator with my lawn tractor. Al "brian johnson" wrote in message .. .

As other noted, it doesn't much matter when you do it. If you are using a
drop spreader, personally I would mow it first to ensure the grass blades don't interfere with even delivery. Toro makes a spreader for my "super recycler" walk-behind. ;) I never went for it (opting for the relatively goof-proof solution of a push rotary spreader). "Al Giordano" wrote in message .net...

Then cover the area in 2 different directions (north/south then east/west) This gives the best overall results IMHO. Chris |

The settings on many spreaders are not necessarily linear, so you aren't
necessarily delivering half the amount if you half the setting. "Chris" wrote in message 45... "Al Giordano" wrote in .net: I actually fertilize DURING my first cut.
