Throw down some "Winterizer" fertilizer from Home Depot or Mennards after the topgrowth stops, around November 15. Bill Hill

Some recommend a fall application of CGM for weed/crabgrass prevention. Can I throw SBM and CGM together around Nov 15? And then another application of CGM late Feb/early March?

Ha. Letting your slip show Bill. ;)

I'm with Bill, Smitty. Apply some organic fertilizer like soybean meal, cottonseed meal, cornmeal now. Personally, I put down a final fall application of fertilizer after the first hard freeze with 1 pound of nitrogen per 1000 from urea for my cool season grasses. Some prefer to stay more organic.
