Escambia Extension: Hang On, Don’t Fertilize The Lawn Just Yet
March 30, 2019
It may feel like Spring, but now is too early to begin fertilizing the lawn, according to Escambia County Extension.
Fertilizing now is a waste of money and time since research shows that much of the nitrogen is lost since roots are not actively growing now. It also may contribute to pollution of local waters waters with nutrient loss from the application site, the Escambia Extension said.
The best time is begin fertilizing the lawn is mid April or into May, according to the Extension Service.

What about broadleaf weed killer? And when should we start if we want to re seed?
Too late…already put it out. Just need nice soaking rain.
