Neglected
Many people neglect to feed their lawn in autumn. However, this may be the most crucial feeding your grass gets all year!
Winter is Coming
As Winter approaches, our lawn and garden become a memory of what we most enjoyed during the spring and summer months. We remember the colors and smells, and bounty we received from our labor. In fall, our landscapes become a chore we eagerly wish to be finished. However, it is of utmost importance that we not neglect our lawns in this season. What we do now will make the following year all the more memorable.
The Cool Season
Lawn grasses grown in the Treasure Valley are referred to as cool-season grasses. These varieties perform better in the cooler months of the year, so this is the time they prefer to grow. Neglecting this feeding will leave our lawn hungry by next spring. When lawns are hungry, they become more susceptible to insects, disease, and stress that will manifest in the following year.
A Long Time Without
The Fall feeding of Zamzows Recharger will be the last food your lawn gets until early spring. That’s almost six months without food! We formulated Zamzows Recharger to be naturally slow releasing so you will feed your lawn for that entire time. Giving you a longer-lasting green in fall, and a faster green next spring. With this jumpstart to a healthier lawn, you will begin to notice fewer problems that will be easier to identify and correct the following year. I often think of our fall feeding, not as the last feeding of the year, but the first feeding for spring.
Now is a great time to apply your Zamzows Fall RechargerTM, as our naturally based fertilizer won’t burn the lawn even if your irrigation has been turned off. You will have peace of mind knowing it is safe for your kids and pets because everything in it is of feed grade quality. Come next spring, even before your neighbors, you will be able to enjoy your healthy, beautiful green lawn!

Thanks for pointing out that a hungry lawn will be more prone to insects, disease, and stress. My husband and I recently moved to a new home. It has quite a nice lawn, so I’m trying to stay on top of lawn maintenance. I definitely don’t want a diseased or insect-ridden lawn, so I’ll be sure to follow your advice and fertilize the lawn this fall!
Fantastic article! I missed the Recharger step last year and my lawn never reached its full potential. Therefore, this year, I’m not going to miss out and will be Recharging my lawn!
Quick question: Is it best to wait prior to rainfall before applying the Recharger? I’m not able to soak the fertilizer after application since the irrigation is shutoff for winter so any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
If you can wait for the rain that is fine, it isn’t necessary to get it down though. Because it is a low Nitrogen fertilizer, it won’t burn the lawn and the dew in the morning is enough to get it worked into the soil.
Great article! Organic fertilizer is by far the better route. Not only can chemical fertilizer be harsh on your lawn, but once applied, you, your children and pets cannot go on the lawn for a couple of days after the fertilizer was applied, due to harsh reactions it can cause to skin. With organic fertilizer, you don’t have this problem.
Excellent article on the importance of fertilizing. It’s one of the foundational parts of lawn care and should never be overlooked like it can so often be.
After the finished winter season, when should I fertilize my lawn? is it necessary to fertilize again? thanks for sharing.
It’s a good idea to feed through the season, beginning in spring.
