Winter lawn care - shall i use fertilizers on the lawn?
Posted by admin
BYD asked:
I have just closed on my house and the lawn is already looking brawn compared to neighbor’s. The previous owner obviously didn’t take good care of it. I am in Chicago area, so far the temperature has been mild this winter, about 40-50F. My question is,
shall I use some winter fertilizer on the lawn? Would it be too late to use it?
What type of fertilizer would you recommend?
Besides using fertilizers, what are the other necessary steps i should take to have a beautiful lawn next spring?
Thanks.

yes this is a good time to fert lawn, i use a winterizer in fall n winter months, can even put on frozen lawn. When snow melts in spring it will release n fert lawn. Then in may-june use a turf builder with weed n feed to get rid of unwanted weeds. then do cycle over again winterizer in late fall around sep. i wouls also reseed lawn, aeration is very good too..in a year u will have a bruilliant green lawn…hope this helps
