That’s a lovely garden set-up.

Now that it’s getting cooler at night, when do you fertilize for Fall/Winter? I assume it’s still too hot?
My lawn did pretty well this Summer. I followed some online advice about keeping it longer, mowing and fertilizing more frequently, and not being so lazy. It stayed green. It had issues in previous years. Like Utah football I want to keep the momentum going.

I’m leaning to the Makita electric lawnmower. Mostly because we have Makita batteries for other tools. I hope my current mower has another season in it before I replace.
I’ve done what this guys says (and I think he is a Ute who used to post here???) and it has been great for my lawn. Right now he says apply milorganite and lawn safe herbicide:

Give it a couple of weeks.
This fertilize shot is about root health and nutrient storage. There should be little to no nitrogen in it.

I’ve learnded to follow the folks @ IFA for their 4 point program. There’s a couple guys there who are allways super helpful. A fall fertilizer and Humate

I did do this for 2 years to revitalize my Kentucky Bluegrass (which this is mostly based on). My lawn was too far gone, so I ended up replacing it with a hybrid bermudagrass in May and it requires less fertilizer (and less Nitrogen since it uptakes it more easily) so trying to figure out the new routine. Definitely doing a fall and spring grub treatment (Japanese beetles in CO) which we found when we stripped the prior grass. Milorganite is good for N (fun fact, it’s made from Milwaukee waste), so I was thinking about that, but probably going with something with more P and K for root growth going into winter, then N in the spring. Been picking weeds, but probably will put down some herbicide too I think and maybe preemergent in the spring.

I placed preemergent in the spring and got much less broadleaf weeds but a bunch of clover still.
Seems like the ground temp window is a bit narrow, what strategy do you employ?
