2015 Lawn Additons

This year's lawn additions didn't differ too much from last year, except that I had sufficient fertilizer on-hand to winterize correctly.

This year's heavy hitter was soybean meal, as usual, and I skipped the corn application.  That turned out to be a slight mistake as the summer resulted in small amounts of brown patch.  In the future, I'll make sure to use it.

The ferrous sulfate resulted in a bit of color enhancement for late in the season.  It's subtle, but my soil iron levels can always use the help.

The Vigoro Super Green has a bit more slow release nitrogen than I generally recommend, but I'm seeing a very mild winter coming.
