Welcome to Jonathan Green! Thank you for signing up for our newsletter and expressing an interest in our feed your lawn AND your soil program, called the New American Lawn Plan. We are excited to be working with you to achieve a great lawn this year! Don't forget to include jongreenlawn@gmail.com in your address book to keep receiving helpful tips throughout the year.
Weeds are a symptom of weakened turf, but not the cause of it.
Poor soil conditions (imbalanced pH; soil compaction; lack of organic matter in the soil) and use of inferior grass seed cultivars are the two primary reasons for weed infestation of the lawn.
Low mowing and improper fertilization practices (too much or too little) can cause weeds to grow, as well.
If it has been six to eight weeks since your early spring fertilizer application, then it’s the perfect time for Green-Up Weed & Feed, a precise combination of lawn food AND broadleaf weed control.
Green-Up Weed & Feed controls OVER 250 broadleaf weeds, while the National Brand only controls about 70. Apply
Green-Up Weed & Feed when the air temperature is 85° or lower and the humidity is low. Additionally, remember to apply it to a damp lawn so that the herbicide sticks to the leaves of the weed. Avoid rainfall and irrigation for 48 hours after treatment. Raining or watering before this time will wash the herbicide off the leaves and render the herbicide less effective. For similar reasons, stay off the lawn for the same time period. You may water – and resume normal traffic - after the 48-hour time period is over.
