Winter

[Junkman]

Last year I did nothing, and the lawn showed it this spring. In the past, I would cut, thatch, and fertilize with triple 10. I intend to do this again this year and hope that I can bring it back from the disaster that it has been all this past summer. I have heard that it takes about 4 years to get a good lawn established and only one year to destroy it. I hope that this isn't true, but I won't know until next summer. Here is hoping that I can turn the tide of disaster around with some care and over seeding.

IMO, the grass will grow whether you fertilize or not, therefore you may be able to "spead" your money to cover other expenses. Although, pelletized lime is excellent, as pH adjustment usually is needed by a lawn more than "lawn food".
