Generally speaking, the best time to fertilize landscape plants is around the time they begin to grow actively. The worst time to fertilize plants is at the end of their growing season. Trees, for example, begin to wake up and grow in early spring, and typically are fertilized once in February or March.

Should I fertilize in the morning or evening?

Fertilizing your lawn in the morning enables you to take advantage of cooler temperatures and morning dew to reduce the risk of burning the grass. As you spread the fertilizer and water it in, the nutrients will have the best chance of reaching the roots and being absorbed quickly.

What time is the best time to fertilize?

To ensure optimal health, fertilize heavily in the fall and lightly in early spring. You can choose either slow- or quick-release fertilizer types, but be sure to apply the treatment before the temperatures peak in summer when these grasses will most likely go dormant.

Should you fertilize plants before rain?

Using Fertilizer Before Rain

It's fine to spread your fertilizer before it rains as long as it's more mild or light conditions. Of course, water is important for plant growth and is similarly important to helping the fertilizer's nutrients break down and get absorbed through the roots.

When should you not fertilize plants?

Make the last fertilizer application before July 1.

New growth also needs time to "harden off" before winter. Tender new growth is at risk of cold injury if it is forced late in the season, when plants and trees should be shutting down for winter.

How long do you wait to water after fertilizing?

Although the best practice is to water fertilizer into your lawn immediately after you have applied it, you can wait up to 24 hours after fertilizing before you water during cool weather or if you are using a slow-release fertilizer.

How soon after fertilizing should you water?

Also, while standard fertilizers can be applied to dry or wet grass and can be watered-in immediately, fertilizers with weed killer typically should not be watered-in for 24 hours after application. The best way to water-in fertilizer is to do it naturally, with rain.

What is the best fertilizer for early spring?

By the way, a 20-5-10 lawn fertilizer is a good basic mix to use in spring. Slow-release lawn fertilizers break down their nutrients over a longer period of time, so you can wait longer between applications.

Can I fertilize my lawn every 2 weeks?

Applying a fertilizer every two weeks isn't recommended as this will likely lead to problems such as lawn burn, excessive grass growth, and pollution to waterways. A natural way of feeding your lawn every two weeks would be to leave the grass clippings on the lawn surface when mowing your grass.

What happens if it rains after fertilizing?

Here's the deal: rainfall after fertilization is absolutely not a bad thing. In fact, it's good! Water helps fertilizer fully absorb into the soil. Mild rain after you fertilize is nothing to worry about.

Can I put fertilizer on wet grass?

Can I apply fertilizer to a wet lawn? Most Scotts® fertilizers can be applied to either a wet or dry lawn. If you're applying a weed-and-feed product like Scotts® Turf Builder® Weed & Feed, though, you may need to apply to wet grass to help the particles adhere to the weeds for best results.

Should I overseed or fertilize first?

Stop fertilizing for at least a month before overseeding. The fertilizer makes your grass grow faster, which makes it harder for the new seeds to take hold.
