Being a beginner I find myself asking "why" alot. Most times I can find an answer here or on antoher board, but this one escapes me.
As is the norm, I applied fertilizer in the spring with everyone else and of course had more grass than my cows could eat. In late May I decided I would try to plant some warm season grasses into my cool season pastures and to do it I mixed it with 12-12-12. Actually got it spread in mid June and it really woke up those pastures.
So, given that most, if not all, have an abundance of grass in the spring AND most also fertilize in the spring wouldn't it be better to apply the fertilizer mid summer when growth slows down instead?
thanks,
Roy
