What is wrong with fertilizing the old way?
The traditional method of monthly fertilization results in substantial over feeding as the plants use up the nutrients in the first few days following treatment. After a week or so, the lawn must endure a period of near starvation, until the next chemical release or treatment in several of weeks. Another huge dose of chemicals is followed by another stressful low nutrient period. This sequence of peaks and valleys can be difficult for the plant. This process is also more time-consuming for the do-it-yourself homeowner and more expensive for everyone.
