Youmay be thinking about all thecolorful annuals and perennials you would like toput inyour pots and garden bedsbut this is also a perfect time to fertilize your lawn. The wetness of these rains we have been having would allow the fertilizer to stick and dissolve more quickly. The warmer days encourage thegrass to take up the nourishment and create deep roots which would help it survive through our dry summer.
Farmington Gardens carries an excellent organic lawn fertilizer as well as some multi use lawn products.
- Weed and Feed kills broadleaf weeds like dandelions and feeds with a slow release fertilizer. Additionally, itcontains iron which gives a quick greening of your grass.
- Weed Beater Complete kills the broadleaf weeds andcontains a pre-emergent which means that the seeds which blow onto your carefully maintained lawn will have a difficult time sprouting. This product comes with or without fertilizer.
- Insect and Feed kills a broad range of lawn insects on contact along with fertilizing.
Of course, there is still a window of time to renew, overseed or spot seed your lawn. Farmington Gardens has a full compliment of seeds to meet your lawn needs whether for sun, shade, or drought resistance. We also have a fertilizer which encourages quick root development. Careful monitoring of water is needed when using seed. You cannot depend on that which falls naturally even if it seems abundant.
Taking of your lawn now in these days of back and forth sun and rain will leave you time later in the summer to sit back and enjoy.
