Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

You don't want to over-fertilize your lawn because it can burn the grass and even kill it. Healthy soil usually requires two fertilization applications a year during the height of the growing season. This fertilization schedule typically starts at the start of fall and the end of spring, depending on the grass type and plants.

The first step is killing any current nutgrass plants, either through application of herbicides or sugar, by digging up the plants and rhizomes, or by using soil solarization. To discourage new nutgrass plants from forming, ensure proper landscape drainage and bring shade into areas of the lawn that are consistently damp.

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. 

Sugar is good for plants, despite limiting nitrogen absorption. However, the sugar that is healthy for plants is typically the same sugar created by plants as part of photosynthesis. In other words, table sugar is not good or bad for plants on its own, just keep track of nitrogen levels in the soil. But don’t worry, sugar won’t kill your grass.

The best fertilizer for your lawn contains a balance of the nutrients your grass needs for long-term health. A soil test can tell you the optimum nutrient balance. However, to repair yellow grass quickly, assuming all it needs is fertilizer, apply a nitrogen-rich blend that promotes fast growth.
