Is it OK to fertilize grass in hot weather?
Generally, you should not be grass fertilizing in hot weather. Overfertilizing can lead to the need to mow more often, and fertilizing at the wrong time can irreversibly damage your lawn. A summer lawn care schedule should mostly focus on watering and mowing as needed.
Is it bad to fertilize when it’s hot?
Don’t fertilize in hot weather. Excess growth, lots of stems and leaves will outgrow the root system and create stress as the roots try to maintain the plant.
Is it OK to fertilize grass in the summer?
Feeding in the early summer helps strengthen the lawn so it can better withstand the heat and drought conditions that summer is famous for. Scotts® Turf Builder® releases its nutrients slowly over time, making it the go-to fertilizer for all grass types.
Can you put fertilizer down on wet grass?
Can I apply fertilizer to a wet lawn? Most Scotts® fertilizers can be applied to either a wet or dry lawn. If you’re applying a weed-and-feed product like Scotts® Turf Builder® Weed & Feed, though, you may need to apply to wet grass to help the particles adhere to the weeds for best results.
