Significance Of Proper Lawn Fertilization

Significance Of Proper Lawn Fertilization

Are you puzzled about the plight of your lawn in spite of regular watering, mowing and weeding? The reason could be something too obvious to be noticed. Let us begin with fertilization and the way it affects the entire life span of every bio-life in your lawn.

You might argue that your lawns are satisfied in terms of water and nutrient requirements. But sadly, that is not enough. There is lot of difference between adequate nutrition and appropriate nutrition. And your lawn needs appropriate nutrition just as a child needs proper nutrition at proper growing stages. You cannot expect a kid to grow once his growing years have passed by. No matter the amount of nutrition you offer, once the right time has slipped off, the results wouldn't be desirable, let alone as expected.

So the foremost emerging point is that you should fertilize your lawn at the right time and in the right manner. The right manner includes a lot of factors like right amount of fertilizer, right combination, suitable quality, and proper application methods. Besides, fertilizers can bring the desired affect only when they are combined with proper levels of moisture. So your fertilization plans should be in accordance with apposite watering.

Yet another important factor deals with the frequency at which you should repeat the fertilization process. I cannot describe any standard frequency at which you can safely fertilize your lawn. It all depends on the grass type and climatic condition. In most cases you would need to fertilize twice in a year or so. The best way to find out is to take some advice of a lawn care expert. You can learn more about the subject doing some online reading. There are hundreds of reports published online regarding lawn care and lawn fertilization techniques.

Whatever form of fertilization you employ, always make sure that you do not overdo it. Even if the amount of fertilization falls short, you should never risk adding excess fertilizer. Most fertilizers contain caustic chemicals that kill the grasses faster than any other disease or pest. Even in case of non-chemical fertilizer too much of fertilization can cause eventual damage. High levels of nitrogen can induce unnaturally faster growth that may not be supported with sufficient supplementary nutrition and plant carbohydrates. This again leads to damage of grasses that would leave you puzzled about the possible culprit.

Cool season grasses require more complex fertilization techniques. Cool season grasses are those that grow well in cool climates. If your lawn grows such grasses, make sure that you fertilize during the fall. One-time fertilization would be sufficient for the coming months.

Yet another factor that relates to fertilization is that it brings out the desired results only when the lawn is well aerated. (Aeration is the amount of oxygen that reaches the roots of the grass and plants).
