When Should You Apply Fall Fertilizer?
The best time to apply fall fertilizer is early to mid-fall, when grass is still actively growing but temperatures are beginning to cool.
In Ontario, this typically falls between:
- Mid-September
- Late October
For best results:
- Apply fertilizer while grass is still green and growing
- Avoid frozen or saturated soil
- Water lightly after application to move nutrients into the soil
This timing allows roots to absorb nutrients before winter dormancy begins.
