Lawn Fertilizing
For those do-it-yourselfers like me, when do you do your first application of fertilizer? For me, it's around March 15th.

About April 20 when the Zoysia starts to grow adequately...Otherwise you are just fertilizing weeds. Use high N and K with Iron.

I buy the cheapest high N, K, w/Iron I can find. I can't afford Milorganite
The best time to fertilize is early-mid December so that the Zoysia is green and healthy all Winter and thru April. It takes a bit of work to keep a nice Zoysia lawn in this climate. You should scalp the lawn (1") during rain season to get rid of the heavy Zoysia thatch layer every year. |
