I fertilize myself in spring and summer only. Found fertilizing this time of year is a waste, unless you are getting paid for it.

Do you find you grow much over the winter? I stopped growing decades ago, maybe I should try this.

Decision made. Tomorrow I'll mow and then apply my fall fertilizer. Don't try to stop me, I'm on a mission from God!
