You should fertilize corn when planting and late in the growing season. More Info: Assuming the soil pH is unknown, when initially planting corn till into 100 square feet of soil 3-4 pounds of a commercial fertilizer such as 12-12-12. As soon as the plant has reached a height of 16-18â high side dress the plant with additional fertilizer at a rate of one tablespoon per hill. Fertilize the soil not the plant and water deeply. The best way to tell exactly how much fertilizer and/or soil amendments you will need is to have your soil tested.
Spring is the perfect time to fertilize your lawn. Give your lawn its first feeding of fertilizer in the spring when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit. You'll know when the soil warms up to 55 because the lilacs begin to blossom and the grass starts growing.
