Why fertilization

Article 3: Why fertilization is important for your lawn?

Everyone wants a healthy and dense lawn of deep green color which always gives a refreshing look. We all put our efforts in maintaining that look, by watering it regularly and cutting it weekly but after a certain time that's not enough. We need to take some extra measures to kick the grass in high gear and not to compromise on yellow color, low life grass strands.

So the extra measure that you have to take to maintain your lawn is to fertilize it instead of compromising on its health. Fertilization is the process in which you provide all the supplements or nutrients to your lawn so that it stays in the best of its health forever. Our lawns need nutrients just as we do. We should feed our lawn with fertilizers 5 times a year. Here are some quick tips for you when you fertilize your lawn:

• As mentioned earlier, you should fertilize your lawn 5 times a year, here is a plan for those five applications; first in mid-April, second around mid-May, third in late-July, fourth around mid-September and fifth in late-October. This plan can be modified according to your region.

• Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potassium are the main ingredients of the fertilizers. Whenever you go to buy a bag of fertilizer, make sure to read the percentage of these 3 materials. A mix of 25-5-10 respectively is a good enough for spring season.

• Fertilize, but don’t over fertilize your lawn.

We hope that this clears some of your queries about fertilizing your lawn but if you are still confused, don’t worry, we got you covered for the fertilization as we know which fertilizers are required at which time, which fertilizers your grass needs the most or whether you have to fertilize the grass roots or not. There are specific times for specific regions when the lawns can be fertilized. Season and lawn condition are the important aspects to consider before fertilizing.

Remember to water your plants!
