Lesco 24-0-11 calculator

Lesco 24-0-11 is a professional-grade turf fertilizer applied at about 4 lbs per 1,000 sq ft. A 50 lb bag covers a lot of lawn, so the bag count is where this tool earns its keep. Enter your lawn size and ZIP for the amount, bags, and your regional schedule.

Why your schedule depends on your ZIP

A Milorganite schedule in Cleveland is not a Milorganite schedule in Atlanta. Cool-season lawns feed hardest in spring and fall and skip summer nitrogen in hot regions. Warm-season lawns feed through summer and stop before their fall dormancy. The calculator shifts each product's application windows using your region's frost dates and growing season.

Cool-season lawns

Feed hardest in spring and fall. In hot regions the calculator drops summer nitrogen entirely, because feeding heat-stressed fescue or bluegrass does more harm than good.

Warm-season lawns

Feed from full green-up through late summer. The last application lands about 6 weeks before dormancy, so late-fall feedings are dropped automatically.

Your region

Northern ZIPs shift every window later; southern ZIPs shift earlier and open a longer season. The same product gets a genuinely different calendar.
