Will grass fill in bare spots on its own?

• <div><p>Whether or not grass will fill in bare spots itself depends on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-identify-lawn-grass.htm">type of grass you have</a>. For example, grass with rhizomes (e.g., Bermuda grass) and stolons (e.g., Saint Augustine grass) will naturally fill in bald spots as it spreads laterally. However, clump-forming grasses will not spread. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my grass needs fertilizing?

• <div><p>Your lawn will have visible signs if it needs fertilizing. If your grass looks discolored, is slow growing, looks thin, or your yard has bare spots, then it probably needs to be fertilized to give it the nutrients it's lacking. You should also keep an eye out for weeds and pests because they can also be signs of a struggling lawn.</p></div>

Q: How do you kill Johnsongrass without killing your lawn?

• <div><p>The safest method to avoid killing your turf grass is hand pulling Johnsongrass. You can also apply vinegar for a safer herbicide, but it will still burn your lawn if it gets on it.</p></div>

Q: What will kill dandelions but not grass?

• <div><p>Look for a broadleaf herbicide, one that has been formulated specifically for dandelions and is considered grass-safe.</p></div>

Q: What is the best lawn fertilizer for spring?

• <div><p>The best fertilizer for early spring is an organic slow-release fertilizer that sets up your lawn for continued good health and vigorous growth throughout the whole growing season. If your lawn is particularly neglected or has specific issues, you may need an application of quick-release fertilizer alongside a slow-release one for an immediate boost. </p><p> </p></div>
