Fall lawn care tips from a farm and city extension agent
The extension advisor emphasizes fall treatment for lawns with complete fertilizer containing nitrogen phosphorus and potassium. Apply 15 to 20 pounds of 10-10-10 per 1000 sq ft in September or October to boost growth and curb weeds. Water thoroughly after fertilizing and use 2 4-D for weed control with caution to avoid drift and shrub injury.
