Fall Lawn Care

UT Extension Agent Booker T. Leigh talks about how to care for your lawn during the Fall. Make sure you don't use Nitrogen fertilizer right before and during the cold season. Nitrogen encourages grass to grow not go dormant for the winter. New leaf growth on grass will be killed by the first frosts of fall. Phosphorus and potassium are better for the roots, and won't force the untimely growth.
