A couple of questions on lawns and trees...

On another note...I have an apple tree that had a ton of apples last year. I have heard that apple trees are on a 2-year cycle. One year with apples, the next year without. Does anyone know?

Just use Scott's fertilizer and follow their recommended schedule. They have different blends for spring, summer, and fall. It is probably sufficient for 90% of the lawns out there. I'll usually throw on some ammonium sulfate in late spring as well. It's like $5 a bag and really greens things up.
