Question: Is a fall application of fertilizer practical?
Answer: Yes. Fall applications of fertilizer, except nitrate forms of nitrogen such as ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate which are completely soluble and will be lost, are practical, especially on clay soils where the nutrients will be held on the clay particles. However, on very sandy soils containing no clay it would be better to wait until spring to apply fertilizer.
