Fertilization Service Question
I am new to the Villages and learning about Florida landscape. A lot of the lawn services I talk to are pushing their shrub fertilization programs. Up North , there is not much need for this. Wondering if down south this is recommended ?

These companies are pretty aggressive-like the stereotyped used car salesmen. They might try to get you to sign a year contract. I've heard of people paying for the entire year. Your bushes generally DO NOT NEED ANY FERTILIZER. You can kill them with too much fertilizer. If, you do CHOOSE to fertilize your shrubs, they will grow faster so need more water and need to be pruned more often. |

Be sure the person doing the work is licensed. They have to know the Fl laws.

You might go to lowes or HD and read the plant labels and see how often itbis recommended to fertilize your plants. It may also say what kind to use.
