Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 2
)
Lawn Feeding
If you overstimulate the grass with too much nitrogen, you will eventually cause thatch problems, and thatch is a prime habitat for the fungi that feed on decaying organic material. Thatch also forms a hydrophobic layer that interferes with the transfer of moisture and nutrients. Fertilize at the right time of the year for your grass, using complete fertilizers that satisfy the nutrient needs of the grass.
Healthy Root Growth
Fertilizers that are high in nitrogen promote shoot growth. A lush, green canopy then invites disease. To promote healthy turf, promote root growth. Use complete fertilizers in recommended amounts. Promote soil tilth by amending the soil with organic matter, and water the lawn so that soil is moistened to the desired root depth.
