Can anyone recommend a good fall lawn fertlizer ratio (nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium) ? A friend of mine suggest 26-8-4. Does this make sense ? I'm trying to gear up for good growth in the spring.

The lower the Nitrogen the better, I think what I used was 18, don't remember the other two. Most fertilizers for fall use will be marked "Winterizer". ~~ grnspot110

This is what Robert of Colorado State says. According to him I've been wrong for a good long time and so have another several thousand people.:laughing:

Yes, I have apparently been wrong as well and would have never known it before now. Hrm, are we sure that he is right and we are the ones that are wrong though?
