If you can only feed twice a year, do it in spring (April to May) and fall (September to October). That’s it. You’ll have a lawn that’s greener than a politician’s promise, without the guilt of neglecting a living thing.
And remember: your lawn is not a dog. It doesn’t need to eat every day. Overfeeding is the number one cause of “lazy lawn syndrome” where you get lots of leaf but weak roots. Less is often more, just like with cologne or telling stories at a party.
So go ahead, mark your calendar, grab a bag of food, and feel like a lawn genius. And when your neighbor asks how you got that deep green color, just smile and say, “Timing, buddy. It’s all about the timing.” Then casually walk away, because you earned that moment.
