Start preparing your lawn for cool weather and a healthy, luxurious lawn next spring the minerals required for the formation of more com- plex compounds. If possible, it is a good idea to have your soil analyzed before you fer- tilize it. Any fertilizer you use on your lawn should contain nitrogen to give good growth and rich green color, phosphorous for vigorous roots and potash to give plants resistance to diseases. The most commonly used fall fertilizer contains 10 parts nitrogen, five parts phosphorous and 20 parts potash. The ideal fertilizer program for a lawn allows the grass to grow at a uniform rate throughout the season. Quick release fertilizers are soluble in water and can be immediately assimilated by the plants. The result is a sudden intake of the available nitrogen, followed by a slow loss over the next two to six weeks. To ensure a uniform growth rate over a period of time, it is necessary to make frequent small "booster" applica- tions of nutritive materials. In contrast, materials in the slow release fertilizers are continuously released over a long period of time. This calls for applications after long intervals of time, which means less work for the gardener. Without water, plants cannot take in food, so unless you are using a fer- tilizer combined with a weed killer, you must water heavily right after applying fertilizer. AN fertilizers are thirsty for water. If they can't get it from other sources, they will ex- ert pressure on the plant itself and pull moisture from the cells, which will in turn collapse and turn brown. This is the typical burning often blamed on fertilizers instead of one the true cause: lack of water. If you are applying a weed killer with a fertilizer, the lawn must remain dry for at least two days before you can water. Gardens often complain Wednesday, Septenibec. 6, 198%, -- 49 that their lawns grow unevenly. Many times, the uneven growth is due to in- efficient spreading of the chemical fertilizer. The best way of tackling this job is to use a spreader. With a good spreader, it is possible to avoid putting too much fertilizer in some places and not enough in others. While home gardeners and experts argue about the relative merits of various kinds of fertilizers, all agree on the benefit of mowing up to the first frost. After mow- ing late in the fall, rake off the clippings. Remember, grass is a perennial herb; this year's blades though they may remain green in color under the snow, die off and are replaced next spring by fresh shoots. Beautiful lawns require frequent maintenance. Here are a few hints that will help keep your lawn healthy. Mow frequently with a sharp mower, but don't cut grass lower than two inches. Fertilize in the very early spring, twice during the summer and once in the fall. Water with an eye to the weather and soil conditions. The soil should be wetted six inches deep; this re- quires one inch of water on average soils, more on clays and less on fast drain- ing soils. Do this whenever the grass blades approach the point of wilting, and when they appear bluish and glassy. Make daily checks for weeds, hand cutting or spot spraying any that show up. Where crabgrass is a pro- blem, use a herbicide, or crabgrass preventer. Keep foot traffic to a minimum especially when the oil is damp. The final fertilizer of the year allows the grass to build up a reserve of nutritive matter to get it through the winter and lets it survive until the following spring. If you need advice as to which fertilizer to use on your lawn, contact your local garden centre.
