Helping your turfgrass grow means investing in a good fertilizer. Whether you live in North Florida and have a St. Augustinegrass landscape or are a Miami homeowner with a zoysiagrass lawn, using a nitrogen-based fertilizer is a great way to care for your turfgrass.
Nitrogen is a good fertilizer for most Florida grasses as it helps them survive in the mostly sandy soil. Most experts recommend that nitrogen be applied at least two times a year and as many as eight times, depending on your location and soil composition. The number will vary, depending on your grass and its needs. It is vital to monitor the grass after nitrogen is applied. If you put too much on your grass, it could leak into ground waters. You should plan on using a nitrogen fertilizer in times when your grass is not dormant. Furthermore, using nitrogen during the summer can make your landscape more susceptible to pests and disease.
