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.
The first application is in the spring, when the grass is about 50 percent green and the ground temperature stays above 65 degrees. After the first application, fertilize your lawn every six weeks until mid-September, when the grass has finished growing and begins to die out for the winter.
