Fertilisation, in practice
Cool-season and warm-season grasses grow in nearly opposite halves of the year. Fescue wants feeding in autumn; bermuda wants it in summer. A monthly programme that ignores this is feeding the lawn when it cannot use it.
More is not better. Excess nitrogen produces soft, fast growth that is more prone to disease and needs mowing twice as often, and in a Middle Tennessee summer that is exactly how brown patch takes hold in fescue.
Slow-release feeds the lawn over weeks instead of flushing it in days. It costs more per bag and less per season, because the alternative is more applications and more mowing.
Iron gives color without forcing growth, which is useful in the parts of the year when you want a green lawn but not a fast-growing one.

FAQ
Fertilisation — questions
When should a lawn be fertilised in Middle Tennessee?
It depends entirely on the grass. Fescue is a cool-season grass and is fed in autumn and early spring, and lightly or not at all in summer, when heavy nitrogen feeds disease and stresses it. Bermuda is warm-season and is fed through late spring and summer when it is growing, and not in autumn. A programme that feeds both the same way is wrong for one of them.
Why does my lawn look great in spring and terrible by August?
Because it is fescue, and August in Nashville is not fescue weather — it goes semi-dormant in heat and it is stressed by humidity and disease. Feeding it heavily in spring makes the crash worse. Mowing tall, watering deeply and early, holding the nitrogen until autumn, and accepting that a fescue lawn is at its worst in late summer is the honest programme.
