Fertilization: Fertilize your lawn based on soil test results and grass type. In North Florida, a balanced fertilizer with a 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 ratio of N-P-K (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) is generally suitable. Apply fertilizer in early fall and again in late fall.
Grub Control: For grub control, apply a preventive grub control product in late spring or early summer when adult beetles lay their eggs. This helps prevent grub damage to your lawn.
Grub control, you can buy treatments from garden centers and follow the package directions for your area.
You could also give your local Cooperative Extension a call, they have master gardeners who are able to field many questions callers have..
