Infrequent Fertilizing. Some lawns contain slower-growing grasses that require less frequent mowing or watering. If the clippings are removed, depriving the lawn of the nutrients provided by their breakdown, the lawn will require fertilization twice a year. Applications are recommended for August and mid-October.

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.
