Abstract/Contents: | Stresses the importance of a good fertilizer program to ensure turf will endure the elements of a harsh winter. Details how the nitrogen in slow-release fertilizers is used by the grass to prepare for winter. Emphasizes the importance of phosphorus in soil to assist with root formation. States that "potassium is second only to nitrogen" for tissue health and rigidity, as well as "expanding the root system." Discusses what amount of potassium to apply in relation to nitrogen. Also touches on fertilization of trees to "add renewed vigor, even to trees in obvious decline." Finally, gives instruction on the application of slow-release fertilizers "for the do-it-yourselfer." |
