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.
Some grass types need more fertilizer than others. Fertilizing also depends on weather. You should never fertilize during extremely hot and dry weather, as the plants won't be actively growing and able to use the fertilizer. Soil type also influences when to fertilize, and how often. Lawns growing on sandy soils usually need smaller doses of fertilizer more frequently applied because the fertilizer doesn't stay in the soil as long.
