Defend Against Weeds | Defend Against Insects

Welcome to Jonathan Green! Thank you for signing up for our newsletter, and expressing an interest in our feed your lawn, feed your
soil program, called the New American Lawn Plan. We are excited to be working with you to achieve a great lawn this year! So don't
forget to include jongreenlawn@gmail.com in your address book to keep receiving helpful tips throughout the year.

Is it Time for Green Up Weed and Feed?

Chickweed

If you are in an area where
temperatures are below 85°, then it is
a perfect time to apply Green-Up Weed
& Feed. Apply the product to a wet
lawn, which allows the herbicide to stick
to the weed leaves and destroy the root
for good. Make sure that there is no rain
in the forecast for 48 hours. (Do NOT
apply Green-Up Weed & Feed when temperatures are above 85° or if it is
very humid because it could injure the lawn.)

What Else Can I Do to Prevent Weeds?

Weeds thrive in soils with pH is below 6.2 and above 7.5. When this occurs, then you
will be fighting a never-ending battle of weed control. Weeds, turf diseases and even insect populations are kept in check when the soil pH is properly adjusted. There is nothing more important that you can do for your lawn than to improve soil pH by
bringing it into the ideal range of 6.2 to 7.0. Mag-I-Cal for Acidic Soil and
Mag-I-Cal for Alkaline Soil will do this for you.

Did you forget to apply it this spring? It's not too late! These are organic products and
will not burn your lawn.

Fungus Prevention

We have a had a very wet spring. If it turns hot and humid quickly, that could mean fungal outbreaks. Fungus spreads through mycelia, which will “jump” from spot to spot. Mycelia look like spider webs on the lawn that appear prior to damage occurring. If you see these “webs”, then apply Lawn Fungus Control . Applying
Love Your Soil - at the same time as
Lawn Fungus Control - will help water penetrate the root zone and stay off the leaf, where most fungus occurs.

Fungus Damage

Ticks

Ticks have been in the news lately and
it is reported that they may be bad this
year. Apply Grub and Insect Control to
kill ticks and other surface feeding
insects . To treat ticks organically,
apply Organic Insect Control .
