Fall Lawn Care

Did the summer heat cause your lawn to brown and dry? Are you tired of those
thin spots? Do not fear. Fall is the best time to improve, renovate, and seed
your lawn. The cooler days and more frequent rains are good news for your turf.

Now is the time to greatly increase the quality of your existing grass with just a
few simple steps:

1. Apply Natural Guard Soil Activator. This is a product that will help your
lawn by decaying grass clippings and returning the nitrogen in those clippings
naturally to your turf. Soil Activator will also give your lawn greater drought
tolerance, disease resistance, reduce thatch and increase natural microbe
activity in the soil.

2. Once you have applied Soil Activator, Fertilome Winterizer should be
spread to thicken, feed and give your grass a rich green color. Fall is the best
time to feed your lawn.



Over-seeding


Late August through early October is a perfect time to over seed if your lawn is
thin or has bare spots. Rake the dead grass out, aerate, spread one of Indian
Creek Nursery's quality seed mixes and then
follow the steps in the
previous paragraph substituting New Lawn Starter for the Winterizer
.
Water lightly each day to keep the seed moist. You will have new seedlings in
10-21 days and a dramatically improved lawn this fall.
