Prepare Your Lawn for WinterEven in late fall, the growing season is still not over. Your lawn is busy storing energy and establishing as much new growth as possible before winter dormancy. Therefore, you should help out your lawn by giving it a boost this fall with a quality fertilizer that contains the right mix of the nutrients every lawn needs: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, also known as NPK. Doing so will help your lawn survive the winter, as well as green up quicker the following spring. |
