Is it time for fall grass feeding? Our lawn expert Matt Koch says that it depends on your location: “In cool-season climates where cool-season grasses are best suited, like the Northern U.S., Midwest and Northeast, early fall feeding typically starts in September or early October when temperatures cool down but before the first frost. For warm-season grasses in the Southern U.S. or Southeast, the feeding schedule may begin earlier in late August or early September, as these regions experience milder winters and longer growing seasons. Timing the first application before the lawn enters dormancy is crucial, and the second feeding would occur 6-8 weeks later, likely in October.” For more on planting grass seed in fall, check out the feature in Men’s Journal:
