Not loving your lawn?

Me neither. But now is the time to make the biggest improvement on turf with the least effort. Pet urine, weeds, bare shady patches, are all easier to fix than you think. The best thing you can do for lawns is overseeed early fall, and fertilize with an organic fertilizer ( not corn gluten) late fall. And if you choose to use a selective herbicide for weeds, now is when you will get the greatest return for your investment . An application of granulated lime helps neutralize the acidity of urine. I apply it with a spreader early spring, two times through the summer and again late fall/early winter. I have noticed a significant reduction in spotting with my five dogs.
A great lawn is not as much work as many believe. Timing and knowledge is everything.
