Fertilizer Apps

[Rescue Lawn]

I am new to the lawn maintenance business and have a few customers that want fertilizer added to the lawn . The only experience I have is with Triple 13. I am in the Dallas area. IS there a website or info that tells when to apply fertilizers and what type are the best for this area?

Thanks

I really didnt ask for my post to be ridiculed, just advice

Look for some books on maintaining a good lawn. They will tell you. If you don't want to do that, I'm sure you could even go into a local Home Depot and ask there.

OH NO- somebody ask him,

This guy is just starting out, give him a break. This is why most people only use this forum for a month or so, then leave.

Yes, there is.

This very website has all the answers you will ever need.

But, the answers are hidden, cleverly concealed they are.... Only the wisest and very brave actually find all the precious nuggets of knowledge that can take years to learn through experience.

Now listen very carefully, and I will share a secret, are you ready????

To find what you seek, you must master the lost art of using the

SEARCH FUNCTION!!!!!!

Seriously the search function is like a library of information about anything you have ever dreamed of. With 30,000 plus members everything has been asked at least once. Check it out...

General Rule would be to apply 1 pound of Nitrogen/1000 sqft every 7-8 weeks the lawn is actively growing.

Rescue,

You have 2 Lesco locations in the Fort Worth area,

7433 Pebble Drive #817-284-8994

7232 Kingswood Drive #817-263-8599

I think you'll find their advice helpful as you expand your business.

[tjgray]

If those locations don't work for you than lesco.com has a store locator at the top of their website :waving:

Scotts STEP 4 program will work wonders. It's on closeout at Home Depot.

If you're going to be a professional, buy like a professional and build a solid relationship with a quality supplier. Home Depot is for light bulbs and furnace filters.

Fertilizer is Fertilizer. Just buy the most nutrient for your dollar.

Huh. Do you have a pesticide license since your answer doesn't sound like it?
