Best Tips for Spreading Fertilizer this Spring

Ready to make your lawn a green oasis? 

Spring fertilization is the first step to your greenest grass, so you want to make sure you get it right. Follow these fertilizing tips for foolproof lawncare. 

1. Get the timing right.

Make sure you need to wait until soil temperatures reach 55° Fahrenheit. You can check temperatures with a probe thermometer or wait until the grass starts growing. 

2. Broadcast it.

We recommend applying fertilizer with broadcast spreaders over drop spreaders. They are easy to use and spread your application farther to help you overlap rows and avoid a stripey yard.

Choosing the Right Fertilizer for Spring

Want the best lawn in the neighborhood this spring?

You can be the envy of your neighbors with a lush, green yard. The first step to success is choosing the right fertilizer. Follow these simple tips to get it done!

Fast or slow?

Slow-release lawn fertilizers are typically your best choice. The nutrients in these formulas take longer to break down and allow you to spread fertilizer less frequently. You can wait up to eight weeks between applications with slow-release. 

Granules or liquid?

When you’re applying your own fertilizer, granules are the best choice because it makes application easy and cost effective. All you need is an inexpensive spreader!

How much is too much?

When you know nitrogen leads to greener grass, it can be tempting to apply as much as possible. But going overboard on nitrogen will cause your grass to grow too fast and leave you mowing constantly. Stick to the ratio we recommended above and save yourself the extra effort.
