Lawn: spring top dressing by the rules
FEEDING THE SPRING LAWN: TABLE MEMORY
What is the best way to feed the lawn in spring?
Ivan Prokopov, Moscow
- One of the main reasons for the poor condition of lawn grass is adverse weather conditions (hail or snow, freezing frosts, drought, etc.). To counter them, plants need timely recharge. However, it should be remembered that "home" nutritional mixtures are not suitable. Use mineral fertilizers.
TITLES OF FERTILIZERS | ACT | DEPOSIT TIME | DOSE |
Nitrogen (ammonium sulfate - preferably urea, ammonium nitrate), contains nitrogen in manure and bird droppings | Stimulates grass growth, its color becomes brighter | Several times in the spring-summer period with an interval of 15-20 days or after every second haircut | 1 3 g / sq.m (2 tsp) |
Phosphoric (superphosphate - preferably diammophos, bone meal) | Strengthens the roots of plants and promotes their growth. Stimulates the growth of side shoots. | Throughout the season, interval
- once every one and a half to two months |
15 g / sq.m (1 tbsp) |
Potash (kalimagnesia - preferably potassium chloride) | This is the main immunostimulant of plants. It protects from adverse conditions, helps to overcome drought and frost. Grass color becomes more juicy | In April-May and in September | 5 g / sq.m (1 tsp) |

FEEDING THE LAWN - AGRONOM ADVICE
- In my garden I use dry granulated Fertika seasonal mixes. For spring-summer, the content of the elements is NPK 11:12:26, in the fall - 6:13:36.
- I feed after watering or rain. Two to three days after top dressing, I water again.
- Manually dry fertilizers are sown first along, then across. A special seeder can facilitate the work.
- During rain, drought, frost, you can’t feed the lawn.
