Application For Grass Cutting

Apply grass fertilizer correctly.

Application for grass cutting.

Grass clippings release nitrogen into the grass which is one of the three main components of commercial fertilizers. Feeding the lawn is as simple as mowing it and as easy as walking at your normal steady pace. Grass develops a grain based on your cutting direction tending to lean towards the direction you mow. Sprinkle the grass lightly to dampen it then use a spreader to apply the weed and feed evenly over the lawn.

Select a fertilizer that is appropriate for the time you are fertilizing. Alternating the pattern causes more upright growth and helps avoid producing ruts in the lawn. Mow moving forward whether you re pushing a walk behind mower or sitting behind the wheel of a lawn tractor. Use straight slightly overlapping lines to ensure good coverage.

Some products may also be used on warm season grasses. You can use a hand held spreader like the scotts whirl hand powered spreader for a small lawn or a broadcast spreader for a larger lawn. Just follow these guidelines for easy application and even coverage. Now you re ready to apply.
