If you have access to leaves in Fall, and a mulching mower, spread them over your lawn and mulch them in. Decaying leaves provide a high nitrogen fertilizer for your grass, and they are CHEAP!
Alternatively, any commercial fertilizer that is high in nitrogen is best. Fertilizers have ratings on the front of the bag (ie 10-10-10). This is the N-P-K rating of the fertilizer.
N = Nitrogen
P = Phospherous
K = Potassium
For grass, look for a fertilizer with a higher number in the "N" place. You could try fertilizers that have higher numbers in the "P" and "K" places and see if they perform as well.
Good luck!

Too previous through help a backyard plenty. Fertilizer is extra to the grass in FALL so as that the roots will strengthen strongly and yield a green finished backyard interior the spring and by using the summer time. Fertilizer extra in spring and summer time is quite much a waste of money, it is going to green the backyard, yet so some distance as a lasting healthful backyard, it does no longer something in any appreciate. optimistic, the Scotts human beings sell a so stated as 3 step with a spring and summer time purposes. yet those spring and summer time are a waste of money and the income is to strengthen salary for Scotts, no longer do your backyard any stable. Fertilize each and every fall in October with 20 10 10 fertilizer with 24d weed administration and overlook approximately spring and summer time fertilizer purposes.

This is probably going to sound really odd but crushed and dried bananas and peels does work! It may be perfect for a science fair project.

corn gluten meal. It's organic, fertilizes grass (slow release), and prevents many weed seeds from germinating.
Also, organic compost.
