Fall Lawn Care
Contrary to popular opinion, fall is the best time of the year for lawn care. Fertilization, weed and thatch control, establishment of new lawns, and renovation of poor quality lawns should be done over the next few weeks.The best time of the year to fertilize your lawn is early fall. Northern Illinois lawns are usually a combination of Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass. These cool season grasses grow rapidly in spring and fall. If you only fertilize once a year, the best time to do it is around Labor Day. For a moderate quality lawn, apply fertilizer May Day and Labor Day. High quality lawns should be fertilized May Day, Labor Day and Halloween. Very high quality lawns that are watered all summer may also be fertilized around Father's Day.
Top quality lawn fertilizers contain slow-release or controlled-release nitrogen. Look on the label for slow-release forms such as ureaform, sulfur-coated urea, milorganite, and IBDU. These forms stimulate uniform growth over a period of time and are less likely to burn the grass. However, do not expect the quick green up caused by fast-release forms. Slow-release formulations are more costly but worth the price for the improved health of your lawn.
In early fall use a regular lawn fertilizer with N-P-K ratios of 3:1:2 or 4:1:2. For example, a bag may list 21-7-14 or 32-8-16. Amounts don’t need to be exact but should be similar to the suggested ratios. Hold off on applying "winterizer" fertilizers until late October or early November.
Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass lawns in sun should receive 1 to 4 pounds per 1000 square feet of actual nitrogen every year. A rate of 1 pound of nitrogen per 1000 square feet is recommended for each fertilizer application. Lawns and other plants in shade grow slower and don't need as much nitrogen as plants in full sun. Therefore, shady lawns should be fertilized at half the recommended rate.
A little math will show you how much fertilizer you need to put on the lawn to get 1 pound per 1000 square feet. Divide 1 by the first number in decimal form (percent of nitrogen) on the fertilizer bag. Multiply that by the square footage of your lawn, then divide by 1000. The answer will give you the total pounds of fertilizer you need to apply to the lawn.
