How often should you fertilize your lawn and when to do it

How often should you fertilize your lawn for the best results? Here's the answer

If you’ve ever wondered how often should you fertilize your lawn, you’re not the only one. While we all want to give our lawn the best care possible, it’s all too easy to over-do the fertilizer, causing unnecessary stress on our grass. It’s important that you fertilize your lawn when required though, and apply it at the right time, because this will give it the best potential growth and help it to achieve a greener finish as well. 

If you want guidance on fertilizing your lawn, we’re got the answers. With the help of some experts, we've broken down exactly how often you should be fertilizing your lawn as well as when you need to do it, so you can rest assured that you’re giving your lawn what it needs to thrive. We will cover the differences depending on the type of fertilizer you’re using, as well as what to do should you apply too much. You will never ask how often should you fertilize your lawn again.    

How often should you fertilize your lawn?  

Advice widely varies on this, as you may have already seen. The exact answer will depend on the type of fertilizer you’re using — a slow-release fertilizer will last longer and require fewer applications. However, a typical synthetic fertilizer will be fast-acting, but will require more frequent applications. 

Most recommend a minimum of two applications per year if you're using a slow-release fertilizer, but this is not set in stone — some experts recommend up to 4-5 annual treatments. If you're using a fertilizer which won't last as long, you may find yourself having to apply it much more regularly to keep up appearances. The right answer for you will ultimately depend on your lawn's soil levels as well as the fertilizer you choose. 

Ian Grant, lawn care expert at National Greenhouse advises: "We would suggest treating your lawn 4 to 5 times a year. Being the end of summer your treatment should contain plenty of iron to keep the grass a deep green colour and this helps the roots grow to make the most of the late summer sun. This late summer treatment is especially useful if your garden receives lots of wear and tear by children or animals." 

When should you fertilize your lawn? 

While the late summer is indeed an ideal time to fertilize, the best time to apply your fertilizer will also vary depending on the type of grass you have. According to The Spruce , if you are using a slow-release fertilizer and applying it twice a year: cool-season grasses, which are often found in the Northern territory and include the likes of Kentucky bluegrass, should be fertilized in the late spring, and then again in the early fall. While warm-season grasses, which are found in the south, such as Bermudagrass, should be fertilized six weeks after the last spring frost and again in the late summer. 

If you want to apply your fertilizer more regularly though, according to Scotts , best practice is to feed the grass both in early and late spring, as well as in the summer and the fall. So your first feeding would be between February-April, followed by April-June, then June-August and finally August-November. Try to leave 6-8 weeks between each application, and use a soil test regularly to keep an eye on the conditions. We recommend the Luster Leaf rapitest Soil Test Kit ( $12.56, Amazon ). Make any necessary amendments to your fertilizer and application depending on these results.

When the time comes to fertilize your lawn, make sure you pick the right time of day to do it. Ideally you want to apply your fertilizer either in the early morning, or late afternoon/early evening. This is because you don’t want the heat and sun during the peak hours of the day burning the grass. You also want the grass to be damp rather than wet, otherwise the fertilizer can stick to the grass blades. Bear in mind that once applied, the lawn will need to be watered soon after, either by yourself, or the weather. Follow the instructions for guidance on how long to wait before watering.  

What happens if you over-fertilize your lawn? 

Whatever you do, don’t throw caution to wind and fertilize your lawn just because you can. When using synthetic fertilizers, over-fertilization can actually do more damage than if you didn’t fertilize at all. Greensphere explains that too much fertilizer will cause a growth spurt which the root system of your lawn just can’t keep up with — that means your grass will struggle to take in the water and nutrients it requires. 

Over-fertilization will also increase the nitrogen and salt levels in the soil to the point where it can kill the grass. The result is yellowing patches of dead grass across your lawn, aka fertilizer burn. If you’re guilty of over-fertilizing and the damage is already done, you will need to give your lawn time for the soil levels to recover. But, there are steps you can take to help things along.

According to The Spruce , you should first remove any excess fertilizer as soon as possible and distribute what remains across your lawn. Then saturate your yard with water to dilute it — apply about an inch a day for a week, or until you see your grass is recovering. Any areas of dead grass will also need reseeding once the soil has regained its levels — you can use a soil test kit to keep an eye on its progress during this time. Check our guide on how to plant grass seed for more details on this. 

To avoid over-fertilizing, the best advice is simply to follow the given dosage instructions on your chosen fertilizer and to distribute it evenly on application using a spreader. Scotts recommends starting with the perimeter and then working your way across the center in the same way you would with a lawn mower — that way you won’t miss any areas. Make sure your lawn has been watered a few days prior to the application as well. If you do this, the soil will better absorb the fertilizer.

How to read a fertilizer label

By: garden gate staff.

Ever wonder what those numbers and letters on your fertilizer package really mean? The most important ones are N, P and K.

What do N, P, and K stand for?

• Nitrogen (N) helps plants produce lush, healthy foliage.
• Phosphorus (P) promotes healthy roots and fruit and flower production.
• Potassium (K) keeps the plant’s metabolism running smoothly and helps it resist disease.

The numbers for NPK tell you the relative proportions of those nutrients by weight. Specialty fertilizers might promote blooms or fruiting, or even foliage growth. But a balanced 20-20-20, 10-10-10 or something with a slightly higher nitrogen, such as 12-5-7, is a good way to cover all plants if you’d like to simplify your purchases and practices (and keep your garden shed tidy). Just be sure you read the instructions so you know you’re putting the correct amount on your plants.

Kenya to host Fertilizer and Soil Health Summit

The summit, which will take place at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) in Nairobi will bring together African government officials, policy makers, farmers organisations and other persons in the private sector. 

“The objective of the Summit is to highlight the crucial role of fertilizer and soil health in stimulating pro-poor productivity growth in African agriculture and to agree on an African Fertilizer and Soil Health Action Plan as well as the Soils Initiative for Africa,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday. 

The summit comes at a time when the host –Kenya- is faced with controversy over the authenticity of fertilizer provided to farmers under the government subsidy programme. 

An alarm on fake fertiliser in the Kenyan market raised a month ago has since led to a probe into how the substance was approved and distributed to farmers through the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB). 

A probe into the matter has been ongoing at the Senate, where Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi has been called to explain the issue. 

Linturi has since held his stance that there was no fake fertiliser distributed through NCPB. He argues that the fertiliser in question is only substandard. 

The probe has led to the closure of KEL chemicals factory, which supplied the government with three thousand bags of ‘substandard fertilizer’.

Week-end Moscow

This tour is available only for week-end dates (from Friday till Sunday)! We offer you a great opportunity to visit the majestic capital of Russia and its out of town attractions. Get filled with unique Russian culture and traditions, vivid impressions of the Kremlin, Red Square and other numerous highlights. Our optimal package tour includes a panoramic tour of major sights. If you want to get acquainted with other splendid highlights of Moscow, just take advantage of our specially-priced optional tours packages.

day 1 Arrival in Moscow. City tour

You have only two nights and three days at your disposal, so you can’t waste your time! As soon as you arrive at the Moscow airport, search for the guide with the sign with your name on it. You will get acquainted with the guide and the driver, and will immediately take you to the city center for the panoramic city tour. You will see the famous Red Square, magnificent MSU’s building, beautiful pedestrian Moscow streets, VDNKh Exhibition center, Sparrow Hills with the great view and many other sites.

After the tour is over, you are taken to the hotel and check-in. Till the afternoon, you have spare time on hand, so you can either book extra tours or have a rest after the flight.

day 2 Kremlin, Cathedrals and the Armory

The Kremlin and its cathedrals are the inherent parts of Moscow's image and its main sight. You will meet the guide at the hotel lobby and they will take you to the Red Square and the territory of the Kremlin with the skip-the-line tickets. Inside you will see the unusual monuments of Tsar Cannon and Tsar Bell; the Mausoleum (if time allows, you will enter inside the Mausoleum, too) and two of the three beautiful traditional Cathedrals of the Kremlin.

As a cherry on the pie, this excursion includes a visit to the Armory. Besides the genuine ancient armor collection, the Armory remains a range of Faberge eggs and Russian art pieces. Make sure you have a reservation in the Armory in advance, as it is quite hard to get there on the spot without a booking.

If you want to book an optional tour of Moscow Metro and Old Arbat, the Kremlin part will be rescheduled for the afternoon, as you can participate in metro guided tours only till 1 p.m. Here you will enjoy the most beautiful metro stations, looking like tsar palaces or exquisite theatre halls; when you leave the last underground station, you will be taken to a relaxing walk along the famous pedestrian Arbat Street, with cozy buildings, unusual shops, and restaurants. You may be lucky to see street performances while you are walking and fall into the stream of Moscow youth vibes.

day 3 Tretyakov Gallery. Departure transfer

If your return flight is scheduled for the morning, your driver will take you directly to the airport, but if there is some extra time, you can meet the guide for the last time, and, having packed your clothes in the car and checked out, you are welcome to visit the Tretyakov Gallery — the best place to get acquainted with Russian classical pictural art. This is one of the most visited museums in Moscow and it is highly recommended not to miss it.

After the museum, you say goodbye to your guide and head to the airport with the driver. See you next time!
