Fertilizer Help After Aeration - Soil Test

There’s not necessarily a time window after aeration to fertilize. It can certainly help the nutrients to penetrate the soil and feed the plants, but I wouldn’t rush to make it work.

What do you have available? You can have some higher N content and be fine. In fact, you probably need to add some heavier N based on those results, but that can be done separate from the K. P and K will hang around much longer than N, so want to make sure you can get the right amount of K without overdoing your N (for that application).

Picking up the cores is at your discretion. Some people like to pick them up because they look bad, but there’s no real detriment to leaving them. They should break down with some rain and mowing.

As ME stated you don't have to put so much concern on fertilizing after aerating. That 7% N is too low for 419. I'm not sure why they recommended that. I suggest heading over to a Site One or Ewing Irrigation to see what they have. Don't use ammonium sulfate as your sulfur is already high.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Won’t stress over getting something down right away. And will head over to Ewing or Site one tomorrow.

Gotta figure out what to do with this huge bag of fert that’s gonna get here next week since they don’t do returns apparently.
