It's Time For FERTILIZER....I Think?? // Early Summer Fertilizer Guide

The summer heat is here already and my lawn is in need of some fertilizer. After the spring flush of growth happens on cool season lawns, a dose of fertilizer helps to give the lawn some nutrients before a stressful time of less than ideal temperatures coming up. Today I talk about what fertilizers you can use, why potassium is important, and also a quick tip on fertilizer spills.

Really like you have a good eye for when to apply product, theres a good balance between pre-empting the need for fert, the weather conditions and general experience to get it right. It's something you cant write down in a guide, but something you pick up over time and that's what the great results are about!

I forgot to mention. I had planned to get started this spring, but I also live in the north and have been struggling with the crazy cold spring and random rains. I only got to detach, apply malorganite, some weed and feed and hosed on some weed b gone clover (hose). Was hard and got harder because of the constant winds and cold temps. Lawn looks better but I still have a lot of trouble spots that I was hoping to have filled/leveled before the summer heat. This is good though because I am learning more than what I knew when I got started and can avoid mistakes I would have made. I am learning the joys of lawn care. 😆

Yea, this has been one of the harder springs to get through in recent memory. The turf was really struggling this year with the unusually cold spring and multiple late frosts (it snowed in Mid-May in central Jersey which is bizarre). Now we are in the middle of Summer heat.. Due to the weather fluctuations, I'm just starting to get down the first fertilizer apps, but I'm way behind where I would be in a typical year... just in time for us to get bombed with heat and humidity. 🤨

[@marcusush517]

works great. applied it once a month last yr during growing season . im about to put some down today along with Fulvic

[@shawnjimenez2351]

Hey Ryan, I'm here in Ohio and I just did a Anderson's pre-emergent / fertilizer application about 5 weeks ago along with the simple lawn solution humic and fulvic acid application. I recently picked up four bags of malorganite for the first time and thought it would be a good option with the summer heat setting in. I know it contains a low nitrogen count. I have not done a soil test and after watching this video I realized it would probably be a good idea. I have a brand new home that was built about two and a half years ago and this is the first year after putting down about 200 lb of grass seed that I've actually had a full lush green fescue lawn. Is there anything else you would suggest to add with my malorganite application?

Hi Ryan. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Im enjoying applying your practices to my lawn. About 2 weeks ago I dethatched And overseeded the lawn. We had some cool weather in Denver. I also added starter fertilizer a few days later. Would you recommend applying normal fertilizer just a couple of weeks later? It is warming up here. Thanks!

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Yeah you can as long as the temps aren't getting extreme

[@stephenchedore504]

Ryan, 1st off love your videos, great information, not too technical and high production value. I have a lot that I had been building up with fill for 6 years, got it shaped with top soil and hydro seeded in the fall last year. I overseeded about 4 weeks ago. I fertilized (starter fertilizer for new seed) about 2 weeks ago. I now see a pattern of darker green lines in the lawn, otherwise lawn looks good. I used a Scott's edgeguard broadcast spreader, used the bag # setting and lined up the "throw" to the wheel marks of the other pass. I am wondering 2 things: 1) does this pattern tell me that the lawn wants more nitrogen? 2) can I apply a typical high nitrogen fertilizer that soon after?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I have heard people with issues like that with that spreader. I haven't had it happen to me personally. Don't go too crazy with new grass but smaller doses more often
