Organic Lawn – Spring Update

Friday, May 11th, 2012

We’re approaching the second week of May. Timing is critical in the success of your organic lawn care program.  By now hopefully you have:

  • Taken your soil tests
  • Put down your 1st application of Renaissance® All Natural Organic Fertilizer
  • Limed according to your soil test results (though this is helping get things ready for late fall and next season)
  • Repaired any bare areas of your turf coverage by top-dressing and over-seeding
  • Put down Hum-Amend or pelleted compost to help improve CEC
  • Begin raising mowing heights to 3 1/2″

If you haven’t, you’ll want to get going and a minimum get the above steps completed in the next week.
