>> Hey I'm R. J. Byrne, University of Georgia,
Thomas County Agriculture agent and today I'm going to talk
to you about fertilizing your yard and when
to fertilize your yard.
Now if you look down here we're looking
at some St. Augustine grass.
Now, right now we're at November the 1st and most of our grasses
that we have, warm season grasses that is Bermuda,
St. Augustine, Centipede,
and Zorza grass are beginning to enter dormancy.
So there's no need to fertilize in the fall.
Now when do you need to fertilize.
If you'll visit the links below you'll actually get a calendar
regarding when you need to fertilize and what else you need
to be doing month by month based upon the type of grass you have.
As far as when to start fertilizing
in South Georgia here, the best time is particularly
around May the 1st, after the grass has come
out of the dormancy period and is actively growing.
For more information you can visit our address
on the link below and it will take you
to our website for more information.
Again, I'm R.J. Byrne, University of Georgia,
Thomas County Agriculture agent.
