Although the organics are still feeding the lawn from October, we're starting to spin into the late fall. Our long-range forecast implies strongly that growth won't stop on the lawn until early December, if even then.
I dropped 0.20 pounds of nitrogen per thousand square feet this evening to wash in during tomorrow's rain. And this time, it was synthetic as I happen to be out of grains and would rather not make the 30 minute each way trip to get more just for a small feeding.
That should kick in around the weekend and feed the lawn for the next two weeks or so (nitrogen demands are down due to the slowing growth and lower levels of sunlight).

A Drip of Nitrogen

Any tips on applying iron sulfate/ammonium sulfate combo with my gilmor hose end sprayer? I want to green things up now that top growth has slowed. I know using a pump sprayer seems to be the more popular way, just seems like a long process for 5k square feet or lawn.
Use a really high concentration and go with the maximum setting (or, using the most you can get for the minimum amount of water).
And use a tablespoon of shampoo per can as well as you want as much as possible to stick...
