Yes, fertilizer will cause the grass plants to grow vigorously and increase in size. But if a lawn is real thin, seeding will still be necessary to increase the number of grass plants. See similar questions...

Water thoroughly (at least an inch) for 4 consecutive days. There is no guarantee that this will work, but taking these steps may reduce potential damage. Lawn damage from too much fertilizer or spilled fertilizer is often caused by excessive salts in the soil. Adding Gypsum can help neutralize the salts. See similar questions...

We want a fertilizer that is made for lawn usage. This would be at least partly a slow release fertilizer. A lawn fertilizer should have at least 20% nitrogen. That means that the first number of the sequence on the fertilizer bag should be a 20. The other 2 numbers indicate the percentage of phosphorous and potassium. Much less of these are needed by the lawn in the spring of the year. See similar questions...

Answer: To control weeds, you can over-seed your lawn twice a year (early spring & early fall) to help prevent weed growth. Mowing your lawn high (4-inches or more) shades out most weed seeds and prevents them from germinating, while also slowing growth (for less frequent mowing) and strengthening the immune system of the grass. Keeping your grass unstressed by providing proper light, water, and nutrients will produce a crop of very thick turf. See similar questions...

Lawn needs are usually based on nitrogen needs and vary from 1 to 6 pounds needed per 1,000 square feet per year. Specific amounts depend on the type of grass. Leaving grass clippings on the lawn usually reduces this number by 1 pound. See similar questions...

Healthy lawns depend on many factors including adequate water, sunlight, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. Lawn growth also depends on nutrients or essential elements absorbed by roots from the soil. This publication should help to develop a fertilizer program to promote a healthy lawn. See similar questions...

Slow release fertilizers are actually microscopic coated capsules of fertilizer that breakdown and release their important fertilizer and trace elements over a long period of time. This ensures that your lawn's root system gets those nutrients in measured doses that won't over-stimulate the plants into a sudden growing spurt requiring more mowing. See similar questions...

When selecting a lawn fertilizer we can either select a lawn fertilizer high in nitrogen which will stimulate grass growth or if our lawn is in fairly good shape we may want to use a winterizing fertilizer in which the amount of nitrogen, phosphoros and potassium are more balanced. The 3 numbers on the fertilizer bag or box will tell you the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. See similar questions...

According to the draft SMP, if an area was cleared prior to the implementation of the SMP and no vegetation other than grass is present, the property owner may continue to maintain the lawn. However, it is encouraged that a vegetative buffer be reestablished in order to protect the water quality of the lake. See similar questions...

Phosphorus from fertilizers runs off lawns and ends up in area wetlands, ponds, and lakes where it promotes algae growth. Algae can damage or kill the water body's eco-system. The make-up of all fertilizers is indicated by a series of three numbers on the package. The middle number indicates the amount of phosphorus the fertilizer contains. Look for a middle number of "0" to be sure you are buying a phosphorus-free fertilizer. See similar questions...

organic or time-release fertilizer balanced in all three elements: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K). We use Nature's Turf 15-1-6, Turf Saver 4-3-4 and Tree Saver 3-0-20 from John Deere's natural line. See similar questions...

Although lawns benefit greatly from a late fall fertilizer, trees and shrubs do not. The fertilizer, which is mainly nitrogen, encourages new shoot growth in woody plants. Encouraging new growth at the end of the growing season may allow a greater chance of winter damage. Late fall pruning is also not recommended, unless the branches are damaged or my break to a heavy snow load. Grass clippings do not make good mulch for roses. See similar questions...

Regular fertilization helps to maintain good lawns. In western Washington, apply N-P-K fertilizers in a 3-1-2 ratio (3 Nitrogen - 1 phosphorous - 2 potassium.) Examples of fertilizers in this ratio would be 21-7-14 or 15-5-10. Sulfur enhances color and helps control some lawn disease problems. See similar questions...
