When to Fertilize in the Spring

3/15/2018

 

Apply Crabgrass Preventer

​When should you start to fertilize your lawn in the spring?
A general rule is put down crabgrass preventer and fertilizer before the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees.  A good date would be the middle of April here in Indiana.  If you do it too early it won’t be as effective in the middle of the summer when some weeds will begin to germinate.  Follow the label to figure out how much product to apply.

What Else Could be Done

​One thing to do, other than putting fertilizer down, is you can begin controlling weeds.  We don't spray entire lawns for weeds because it is usually not necessary to put chemicals around like this.  We spot spray.  You can too.  Just get a small bottle of weed killer that is premixed and walk your property spraying the weeds that begin to pop up or the ones that started to grow last fall.
