so......i gota lawn question..........just read a piece about fall lawncare.........how many of you fellers do a lawn fertilizer application.

this article claims its pretty important to do a fall lawn fertilizing????

once i have most the leaves picked up, enough to think i have enough for my garden use next year.........i'll mulch the rest up!!!

I put some down here just before Labor Day but then it didn't rain for a month or so & I'm not sure it did much. I know some will overseed & put a winter fertilizer down just before the 1st snow too. I know the neighbor does up here & down home in the fall as well. When I was in the lawncare business the ones that did wanted a nice lawn & didn't care how much it cost. So, we usually dethatched theirs as well as bagged their leaves & hauled 'em away too. Most of the people who kind of had to watch their $ a little didn't do much extra in the fall at all.

looks like it has a reasonable chance of rain wed........so may do it before then.

There was a garden center in Maplewood that closed about 20 years ago. The owner, George Dege,also had a radio show about gardening and mostly lawn care. He was known as Mr. Lawn. He had free classes and I went to one. I remember him saying that the best time to fertilize grass was in the fall. I also remember him saying that a lot of lawn care services apply crabgrass preventer to early.

yea i pretty much convinced myself another trip to the home of the 11%  rebate tomorrow is in order to get some lawn fertilizer.

i'm not anal about my lawn like some.......but i do like a decent looking lawn. figuring 50 bucks or so on lawn fertilizer in the fall wont break me.

wonder if i can get an advance on the SS increase!!!!!!

Don't forget Tampon Timmy will want his cut 1st. You'll be lucky to afford the fine Pioneer cutlery I'm graciously sending your way. COD of course...

We always liked Scott's products when I was on the golf course, if we had the money, as they're usually a bit more expensive. They have good fall 1 called Turfbuilder but I'm not sure Menard's handles it.

i've used Menards stuff before and am happy with it!  think FF has scotts..........but no rebate!!!!
