I’m sure you know some homeowners that are fanatics about their lawns? Maybe you even are one of them?

Well, many homeowners place a lot of emphasis on fertilizing their laws in spring and summer. While it’s true that some fertilizer is needed during the spring and summer it’s very easy to over fertilize and cause major problems.

Over application of fertilizer can cause diseases, and bare patches will might allow grubs and other lawn pest a chance to get a hold in your lawn and cause problems.

Basic tips to remember- If the lawn was fertilized late last fall, then you need to make only one application in late April or early May. If no late fall fertilizer was applied, you should make two applications this spring; one the first week in April, and the other about the last week in May using the minimal amounts recommended each time.
