TURF TIPS
FALL FERTILIZATION

The weather the past few months has been brutal. It was the most difficult season for growing grass since the summer of 1995. Now is the most important time of the year to improve the quality of your turf.

A quality fertilization program should begin in mid- September and continue one or two more times until about mid-November. Starting the fertilization program in September will take advantage of favorable growing weather. It will encourage the production of new tillers, rhizomes and stolons that will increase turf density. These fall fertilizer applications also encourage rooting and production of storage products that will help the plant survive the stress of winter and enhance growth for next year.

I am positive your lawn will look better next year.
