I personally have never bothered about fertilizer especially chemical and everything green around here doesn't bother too much also. For instance last late summer i applied little cow manure to all beds and one time urea application(diluted in water) in late winter and that was it. Soil tests were indicative of low nutrients.....

Sir look at the grass in the back ground.(Umar)

The fore ground gets all the attention, your directive is apt.
The grass in summer requires much more water than recommended in books.

If you do not feel offended I would like to modify it to,
Your foot steps are your lawns best friend.

Let me add when you wanna really want to check that is the lawn in need of water.Walk on it look at the foot steps.Check again after 15 minutes if there are no foot steps the lawn dose,t need water.If the foot steps are there even after 15 minutes it means grass is under stress & needs water ha ha ha.
