The recommended time frame for a fall fertization, September, is about to come to an end. Don’t worry if you missed your chance, when spring comes around you can fertilize and your lawn will grow in vigorously.
This is a good time to look for sod webworms. During this time of year they can be very distructive, leaving your lawn with little time to recover before winter dormancy. Watering and excess nitrogen can also cause fungus disease in your lawn. Water your lawn early in the day so moisture can evaporate from the leaves.
