Your expertise in lawn care is spot on. I tend to rely on my results, and so far, it's been positive. However, I turn to your channel for insights, and I'm grateful for that.
I planted Tall Fescue on Oct 6th (unfortunately late), and applied a light coat of Scotts starter fertilizer. Its Nov 2nd now and grass is coming in good for the most part however I was wondering if another round of fertilizer would be needed. I'm in Eastern Tennessee, weather has been good and expected to continue in the 70s for at least another 10 days. Thanks, Chris
I think so. I put out 1 lb of nitrogen on my tall fescue this week. It's been so dry I put it out just before the rain. It's been a dry and warm fall. It would be a good move to put a little out.
I understand the practice of spoon-feeding fast release fertilizers. I have watched videos of people spoon feeding slow release, what's the benefit of spoon-feeding slow release?
Few of them..one you do not get a huge burst of growth so you are not mowing 2x/week or more. Secondly, you get more consistent color with spoon feeding. Water soluble fertilizers give you good color for about 3 to 6 weeks. Slow release that is closer to 10 to 12 weeks. Lastly, there is less possibility of burning the grass with slow release fertilizers rather that quick release (water soluble fertilizers).
