How to Fertilize your Lawn / Grass

This is how I fertilize my yard. Houston, Texas. It was 101 outside when I did this. Make sure to put LOTS of water. Mow 2 x a week if possiable on the HIGHEST setting that your lawn mower has. If you have a lawn service, if I may suggest, own your own lawn mower that your service can use to prevent damage or them not raising the setting on the mower, simply give them your code to your garage.( this will prevent 90% of issues) I Mow using a rear bag mower on the highest setting that the mower can go Plus one more. The yard is 12- 14 inchs tall in most places, and has been pictured on most major Fertilizer websites. Take my advice. WATER, WATER, and WATER, Mow twice a week on high (durring the summer), if possiable and use fertilizer once every other month. Look for 2-5% Iron content and 26 - 35% Nitro content. I like to water for a long time, at night, for deep root water (summer for over 30 minutes) ... NEVER WATER DURRING THE DAY. (I promise you will have the best lawn in your area. TAKE MY ADVICE if you have Saint Augustine grass) For new grass, ie, just planted, like you just purchased a home. MAKE sure to wait 30 - 45 day before adding fertilizer. New lawns simply water twice a day, then in 30 - 45 days use my suggestions. Again... GET THE BEST yard and YARD OF THE MONTH.. THIS WORKS...

@Ahoffman8083 watering at night doesn't apply in Texas because it is so hot fungi won't grow. That's mainly for northern states

I bought the Scottsdale liquid turf builder. Do u recommend I use the one that u used or keep the liquid? It also stares that it will green grass up in 24 hrs.
