00:00:04,656 --> 00:00:07,856
>> Hey I'm R. J. Byrne,
University of Georgia,

2
00:00:07,956 --> 00:00:11,496
Thomas County Agriculture agent
and today I'm going to talk

3
00:00:11,576 --> 00:00:13,456
to you about fertilizing
your yard and when

4
00:00:13,456 --> 00:00:14,496
to fertilize your yard.

5
00:00:14,836 --> 00:00:16,786
Now if you look down
here we're looking

6
00:00:16,786 --> 00:00:18,996
at some St. Augustine grass.

7
00:00:20,526 --> 00:00:25,586
Now, right now we're at November
the 1st and most of our grasses

8
00:00:25,586 --> 00:00:28,616
that we have, warm season
grasses that is Bermuda,

9
00:00:28,786 --> 00:00:30,286
St. Augustine, Centipede,

10
00:00:30,856 --> 00:00:32,906
and Zorza grass are
beginning to enter dormancy.

11
00:00:33,546 --> 00:00:36,066
So there's no need
to fertilize in the fall.

12
00:00:37,136 --> 00:00:38,956
Now when do you need
to fertilize.

13
00:00:38,956 --> 00:00:43,186
If you'll visit the links below
you'll actually get a calendar

14
00:00:43,626 --> 00:00:46,596
regarding when you need to
fertilize and what else you need

15
00:00:46,596 --> 00:00:49,726
to be doing month by month based
upon the type of grass you have.

16
00:00:51,166 --> 00:00:52,906
As far as when to
start fertilizing

17
00:00:53,656 --> 00:00:55,946
in South Georgia here, the
best time is particularly

18
00:00:55,946 --> 00:00:58,726
around May the 1st,
after the grass has come

19
00:00:58,726 --> 00:01:01,316
out of the dormancy period
and is actively growing.

20
00:01:02,376 --> 00:01:04,936
