It’s no secret that fall is the best time to fertilize your lawn and garden. The cooler temperatures and rain will help the fertilizer to soak in, and it will help to promote growth for the upcoming spring season. Fertilizing in the fall is also a good way to prevent weed growth and insect infestations. But if you’re still not convinced, here’s why fall is the right time for fertilizer and why you should call The Southern Landscape Group for help.
In the fall, the ground is primed for fertilizer. The moist dirt helps the fertilizer soak in and encourages growth. In the summer, the ground can be dry and hard, making it difficult for the fertilizer to penetrate. The cold, hard ground in the spring won't allow for penetration, either. So, this makes fall the prime time for fertilizer.
Moisture is necessary for plants to absorb nutrients from the soil, and morning dew helps to provide that moisture. The cool temperatures in the fall morning help the dew to form, and the dew will help to moisten the soil and help the fertilizer to soak in.
Weeds tend to be a bigger problem in the fall than at any other time of year. They steal food and moisture from your plants, and they can be difficult to get rid of. Fertilizing in the fall can help to reduce weed growth because it will help your lawn to be healthy and strong. The fertilizer will help to crowd out the weeds and keep them from taking over.
The other benefit of fertilizing in the fall is that it gives your lawn food for the winter. The fertilizer will help the lawn to retain its color and stay healthy all winter long. And when spring comes, your lawn will be ready to grow again.
