This time of year your lawn might not be looking so great. It might be patchy, or pale yellow, or just unhappy. Since St. Augustine grass goes dormant in the winter, fertilizer might not be the best choice. Instead try using Nature’s Blend compost. It’s an alfalfa humate blend that helps your lawn against fungus and feeds the roots. One bag covers 50 square feet of a healthy lawn, or if it’s struggling use one bag per 25sqft. Make sure you spread it to 1/2” or less! Nature’s Blend provides protection against temperature and moisture extremes too, so your lawn has the best chance of surviving the winter and emerging in spring.

I live in central Fl. where can I buy Nature’s Blend compost?
james says
Probably not available in your area. Substitute would be good quality well-composted manure (not cheap discount store, like they hold the bag under the back end of the cow and say “fill ‘er up”) plus alfalfa meal (great fertilizer and growth stimulant)

Same as above. Probably not available in your area. Substitute would be good quality well-composted manure (not cheap discount store, like they hold the bag under the back end of the cow and say “fill ‘er up”) plus alfalfa meal (great fertilizer and growth stimulant)
