Question
What type of lawn fertilizer do you recommend for spreading now for winterizing? I am looking for a more or less "Weed and Feed" but I have a dog so I am wary of fertilizers with harsh chemicals. My lawn is a dwarf fescue

Thank you for your question. At the moment the best option for you in terms of a "Weed and Feed" is to actually use two products that our stores currently carry. The first is an all-natural corn gluten based product called Weed Prevention Plus. This is a pre-emergent weed killer that is not loaded with harsh chemicals. It targets the seeds that eventually become weeds in your yard.
Additionally, to feed the lawn, I recommend Nature's Green Lawn Food, which is another all-natural product that provides vital nutrients for you lawn.
These two products should take care of all of your winter lawn needs. Be sure to follow the instructions on the packaging which will help you decide how long to wait between applications of these products, as I do not recommend using them at the same time.
I hope this helps get you started. As always our experienced staff at the stores can answer more specific questions for you too.
