Extension Service: Wait Until April For Lawn Fertilizer
March 4, 2017
Most North Escambia residents want an attractive lawn this season and recent warm has weather encourages people to act now.
But, the Escambia County Extension service says to be cautious not to act too quickly with your fertilizer application. Despite warmer temperatures, it is still the recommendation to wait until April for applying nitrogen fertilizer. UF studies show that nitrogen applied before April 15 easily leaches through soil and that can lead to potential water pollution.
Escambia Extension says go ahead and use a pre-emergent herbicide in March but wait until Tax Day for fertilizer.
