Want a Beautiful Lawn?
Here are some helpful tips…
WEED
CONTROL TIPS:
Crabgrass
and Grassy Weeds germinate in the spring
when the soil gets warm. Apply ‘Step 1’ during spring months for the best control.
Watering lawn after application enhances control and feeding action. After
applying, refer to the bag for seeding instructions.
Broadleaf
Weed Controls: Apply these products when
weeds are actively growing throughout the year. Do not mow 2 days before
or after application. Apply to moist grass. Do not water 1-2 days after
application, and delay application if rainfall is expected within 24 hours.
After applying the broadleaf weed controls, do not seed for 4 weeks.
WATERING
TIPS:
A
total of one inch of water per week, including rainfall, is desirable. Watering
deeply two or three times a week in the morning for thirty to forty minutes, if
necessary, is most beneficial for your lawn. Avoid frequently watering for
short periods of time.
LAWN
MOWING TIPS:
Do
NOT mow your grass too short. A height of 2 ˝ to 3 ˝ inches works best for a
healthy lawn. Raise the mowing height during summer months. Keep your mower
blade sharp, so that you do not “shred” your grass. Do not mow wet grass. Do NOT
cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade. Mow regularly, usually once a week.
Clippings may be left on the lawn, provided they do not smother the grass.
LIME
and HOW IT AFFECTS pH:
Lawns
grow best when pH levels are between 6 and 6.7. Take a soil test to determine
pH level, or apply 50 pounds of lime per 1,000 square feet per year. You may
apply lime at any time of the year and also while applying other lawn products
(including our 100% liquid organic fertilizer, our humate, or our crabshell –

Program introduced in 2007)!
