The Basics of Zoysia Grass Fertilizer Scheduling
When it comes to lawn care, one of the most important tasks is fertilizing your grass. Fertilizer helps to keep your lawn healthy and green, and can even help to prevent weeds from taking over. For those with zoysia grass, there are some specific guidelines for when and how to apply fertilizer. Here are the basics of zoysia grass fertilizer scheduling.
Fertilizing in the Spring
The best time to start fertilizing your zoysia grass is in the springtime, when the weather starts to warm up and the grass begins to grow. You should apply a slow-release fertilizer that is specifically designed for zoysia grass. This type of fertilizer will provide a steady supply of nutrients throughout the growing season. Make sure you apply the fertilizer evenly across your lawn, and water it in after application.
Fertilizing in the Summer
During the summer months, you should continue to fertilize your zoysia grass every 6-8 weeks. Make sure you use a slow-release fertilizer that is designed for zoysia grass. During this time, you should also be mowing your lawn regularly and watering it deeply once a week. This will help keep your lawn healthy and green throughout the summer months.
Fertilizing in the Fall
In the fall, you should reduce the amount of fertilizer you are applying to your zoysia grass. Instead of applying it every 6-8 weeks, you should only apply it once every 8-10 weeks. This will help prepare your lawn for winter by providing it with a slow release of nutrients without overfeeding it. Make sure you water your lawn deeply after application so that all of the nutrients can be absorbed into the soil.
By following these guidelines for fertilizing zoysia grass, you can ensure that your lawn stays healthy and green all year round. With regular fertilization and proper care, you can enjoy a lush and beautiful lawn for many years to come.
