Winterize your lawn with an organic, slow release fertilizer or apply a winterizer or fall formula with ratios such as 18-6-12, 8-12-16 or 10-5-14. They will make lawns winter hardy.
Apply pre-emergent weed control such as corn gluten or Barricade to prevent weeds from sprouting.
Winterize the lawn with an organic, slow release fertilizer. Or apply winterizer formulas for winter hardiness. Ratios vary but make sure they are “winter” or “fall” formulas designed for southern grasses such as 18-6-12, 8-12-16, 10-5-14.
Plant herbs and winter vegetables now. Cilantro, parsley, dill, mint, lavender, and rosemary are great herbs for winter. Lettuce, spinach, and other greens are great for winter too.
