Overseeding is one of the best ways to transform you lawn in the fall, but there is a much easier and cheaper way to do it. If you plan to overseed your lawn this year, maybe you should think twice before doing so. Today I'm going to introduce to you, the fall nitrogen blitz.
The fall nitrogen blitz is a fertilizing program that can completely transform your lawn this fall as well as the following spring. If you're looking for a way to get a better lawn, this is one of the most important things you can do for you lawn all year.
When starting my fall lawn care, I usually use urea or ammonium sulfate as my go to fertilizers. The reason I use these fertilizers is because they are fast-release fertilizers and go to work instantly. You can use slow release fertilizers like Milorganite for the first application or two, but I would recommend switching to urea or ammonium sulfate after that, because Milorganite will not break down as easy once temperatures start to fall.
The one negative with this plan is that your grass will grow very fast, which means you need to mow your lawn more often. Make sure you are lawn mowing as often as possible so you do not break the 1/3rd rule and stress out your lawn.
This will help achieve a thick lawn this fall. As well as a dark green lawn!
