Did you know that fall is the best time of year to fertilize Colorado's bluegrass lawns and you still have lots of time to do this? If you fertilize now, you won't have to do anything in the spring but watch your lawn turn green.
Planttalk Colorado give us the advice to "simply fertilize with nitrogen sometime during late September to early November at lower altitudes, and earlier in the mountains."
The benefits of fall fertilizing include a healthier turf before winter, a healthier root system, and stimulating a turf that greens up earlier in the spring without excessive top growth.
Fall fertilization produces dense, green spring lawns and should be a part of every good lawn care program.
For more information including how much nitrogen to put on your lawn see this fact sheet: http://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/yard-garden/lawn-care-7-202/
