Kills Clover - Lawn Fertilizers - The Home Depot

Question 1

When should I use an all-purpose lawn fertilizer versus a fertilizer designed to green my lawn quickly?

Accepted Answer

An all-purpose lawn fertilizer is perfect for general maintenance, giving your lawn a balanced blend of nutrients to support steady growth throughout the season. For a rapid improvement in color, select a quick greening fertilizer specifically formulated to deliver a fast boost of nitrogen. However, expect an all-purpose fertilizer to provide longer-lasting benefits.

Question 2

How often should I fertilize my lawn?

Accepted Answer

The right application frequency depends on your type of grass, soil health, and choice of fertilizer. Fertilize cool-season lawns like Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass two to four times a year, in early and late spring and fall. Fertilize warm-season grasses like Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine three to five times per year, in late spring, mid and late summer, and early fall. Apply slow-release fertilizers once every eight to ten weeks, and quick-release fertilizers once every four to six weeks.

Question 4

How do I know which fertilizer my lawn needs?

Accepted Answer

Start with a soil test to identify nutrient deficiencies and pH levels. This extra step prevents over-fertilization and ensures you choose the right formula. Then choose a fertilizer that matches your grass type and season. Select a high nitrogen fertilizer for green-up, a starter fertilizer for new lawns, and a winterizing blend for fall protection. Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and fescue need more nitrogen in spring and fall, while warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia need nitrogen during summer growth. Consider specialty blends for certain conditions like a weed and feed product, organic blend, or a pet and kid safe formula.

Question 5

What are the benefits of using fertilizer formulas like "Bone Meal" or "Fish Emulsion" on my lawn?

Accepted Answer

Both bone meal and fish emulsion are organic fertilizers with unique benefits compared to standard synthetic formulas. Bone meal is rich in phosphorus and calcium, promoting strong root development and overall plant stability, while improving soil structure and microbial activity. This specialty blend works well in cool season grasses during establishment phases, including new lawns, overseeding, and areas that demand root growth. Fish emulsion is rich in nitrogen with trace minerals and organic matter, providing a quick green-up while still being gentle on plants. This unique formula enhances soil biology and microbial life while adding micronutrients missing in synthetic fertilizers, working as a foliar spray or soil drench for fast absorption during mid-season feedings.
