What You Need to Know About Scotts Lawn Fertilizer Schedules
Maintaining a healthy lawn requires more than just watering and mowing. Fertilizing your lawn is an important part of keeping it looking lush and green. Scotts offers a wide range of lawn fertilizers that can help you keep your lawn looking its best. Here’s what you need to know about Scotts lawn fertilizer schedules.
When to Fertilize
The best time to fertilize your lawn depends on the type of grass you have. Generally, cool-season grasses such as bluegrass, fescue, and rye should be fertilized in late summer or early fall. Warm-season grasses such as Bermuda, zoysia, and St. Augustine should be fertilized in late spring or early summer. It’s important to follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for the best results.
How Often to Fertilize
Most Scotts fertilizers should be applied every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. If you have a large lawn, you may need to apply fertilizer more often to ensure even coverage. It’s also important to check the weather before applying fertilizer; if it’s going to rain within 24 hours of application, it’s best to wait until after the rain has passed before applying fertilizer.
