Watering and mowing alone will not make a healthy lawn. It must be fertilized. We have included a starter fertilizer in the mixture applied, but it is only sufficient to supply enough nutrients for about 30 to 45 days. It is important for the development of a healthy lawn that a fertilization program be started at this time.

If you fertilize with nitrogen while your lawn is dormant, you can encourage weed growth, and ultimately waste fertilizer. Cool-Season Grasses tend to have two flourishing (or growing) periods.onversely, even if you don't want a good looking lawn, you should at least fertilize twice a year for your grass's sake. As discussed in the section on grasses, there are two types of grasses: Warm-Season & Cool-Season.
