Have you ever been on a fertilizing program?Where in the south do you live?What king of grass do you have?
You start right now
or you hire a lawn maintenance company.
Florida has a great Master Gardener program.... check with your county agent
or go to this web site UFifas.com. In the search box type in lawn fertilization. It will give you everything you want to know about backyard gardening in Florida.
Good luck and happy gardening
I live in SouthTexas, and I was told a good rule of thumb was to do this on flag holidays; Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. Any holiday this is traditionally a flag flying holiday. Good luck!
Whatever you use; Fertilizing before May promotes a fungus in grass later in the summer. The grass cannot absorb the nutrients until it greens up and the temperature is higher in the soil.
Weed and feed when it starts to green up so that you stop the weeds before they take over. depending on how South you are, this generally is late March, early April to first of May. Where we live, May is too late as the temps are already reaching 90!
