How much lawn fertilization (and other?) really needed?
Will arrive shortly in Sanibel, and plan on starting out DIY in lawn care. Have done a lot of this over the years, but certainly nowhere near this far south!
I see the recommendations here commonly say 4 fertilizer applications April to October, or thereabouts. I know this depends somewhat on soluble-to-insoluble nitrogen in the product (assuming, say, 15-0-15), and while I don't want to badly compromise the lawn, I don't require the meanest and greenest property in the county. Can fewer fertilizations suffice?
Also, are there any major lawn weed and disease issues to watch out for here that may also require treatment?
