This time of year, your lawn is beginning to go dormant. This means the grass isn't growing as vigorously, there's less top growth and typically, you're mowing less frequently. While top growth has slowed down, grass roots are still very active storing nutrients, getting ready for the winter ahead. All this activity at the root level makes this the ideal time to feed your lawn. Applying lawn fertilizer in October benefits your turf by strengthening the root system and getting the grass ready for winter.
The most important nutrient for fall lawns is Nitrogen, the first number listed on the bag. Fertilome Winterizer contains 25% Nitrogen, plus Potassium to help your lawn absorb and store the fertilizer you apply now. The biggest benefit of feeding your lawn now comes next spring when the lawn emerges from its dormant state and has enough nutrients stored in the roots to feed the grass. Your lawn will green-up and have stronger top growth early in the spring season, when you fertilize now. After applying winterizer fertilizer, water your lawn thoroughly.
