Spring Fertilization

Spring fertilization is the application of nutrients to the soil in early spring to support the vigorous growth and development of plants as they emerge from winter dormancy. This maintenance task involves using fertilizers that are rich in nitrogen to promote leafy growth, as well as phosphorus and potassium to support root development and flowering. Spring fertilization is particularly important for lawns, flowering plants, and vegetable gardens, as it helps provide the essential nutrients needed for a strong start to the growing season. The timing and type of fertilizer used should be tailored to the specific needs of the plants and soil conditions. Regular spring fertilization is key to ensuring that plants have the resources they need to thrive, leading to a healthy, productive garden.
