Is August A Good Time To Fertilize My Plant?

 

 

The answer is “No, not usually.”

August is a caution month for fertilizing, and whether you should fertilize depends on the type of plant.

You can continue feeding annuals, vegetables, containers, and lawns as needed, but avoid fertilizing shrubs, trees, and perennials until fall.

 
 

Not Sure? Ask Yourself This:

 

Will this plant overwinter?

• If yes – skip the August fertilizer.

• If no – feed as needed.
