When the weather starts to get chilly and winter’s around the corner, you don’t stop eating, do you?
In fact, if we’re all honest, we might start eating more.
It’s chili and cornbread season. Caramel apples, yum. Football game snacks, pass the nachos.
Your lawn isn’t done eating, either. As it gets ready to hunker down for the long, cold winter, it needs an extra food boost.It’s called winterizer fertilizer. And it’s an important part of your seasonal lawn care in Eau Claire, WI and Minneapolis.
Put down the pumpkin bread and let’s take a look.
1. What is a Lawn Winterizer?
Winterizer is one term for the final fertilizer application of the season. Not everybody calls it that.
Here at RainMaster, we don’t refer to it specifically as “winterizer,” but we absolutely believe in the value of a final fertilizer boost for your lawn as cold weather sets in.
2. Why Is Winterizer Fertilizer for Lawns Important?
Your lawn has had a challenging summer, hanging tough through heat and drought, fighting for space with weeds, maybe enduring insect or disease damage. Phew!
Those turf roots are still hungry. When you fertilize in the fall you give those roots nutrients to grow nice and deep now, with some left over for a healthy start next spring.
Winterizer fertilizer helps the roots of your lawn absorb and store nutrients. Sure, the weather has turned chilly, but grass roots continue to grow until the ground freezes. These nutrients are stored and ready to go, so when spring finally shows up and everybody starts cheering, your lawn hits the ground running, green and healthy.
3. How Is Winterizer Different Than Other Fertilizer Applications?
Here at RainMaster, our last fertilizer application of the year includes more potassium to drive root health, so your lawn comes back green and healthy in the spring.
4. When to Apply Winterizer Fertilizer?
Late fall is the time for winterizer fertilizer for lawns, about three weeks before the ground freezes.
Don’t wait too late. If the ground is already frozen, it won’t do any good.
5. What Do I Need to Do to Get Winterizer Fertilizer?
If you’re already a RainMaster customer, you’re all set. The final fertilizer for the season is included in your lawn care program. Not a customer yet? Your lawn is just getting hungrier.
