Hello lawn care enthusiasts! Spring is just around the corner, bringing with it the promise of warmer weather and lush green lawns. For those in warmer climates, now is the crucial time to get a head start on your lawn care routine.
One of the most important steps you can take right now is applying a pre-emergent herbicide. This will help prevent pesky weeds from sprouting and taking over your lawn as the temperatures rise. For warm-season lawns, aim to apply your first pre-emergent treatment this weekend. Prodiamine is a popular and effective option. Remember to water it in after application to activate it in the soil and create a protective barrier against weeds. You can find both granular and liquid prodiamine products available for easy application.
In addition to pre-emergent, consider giving your lawn an early season boost with a starter fertilizer. Many starter fertilizers contain potash, which can provide a nice green-up effect. For an extra advantage, you might explore incorporating soil optimization products.
This year, I’m conducting a test on a section of my lawn using only N-Ext products to see the results. It’s an experiment focused on maximizing lawn health through optimized soil conditions. The goal is to observe how these products enhance the lawn’s ability to utilize natural nitrogen sources, such as that from lightning. Optimizing soil health can be a great way to improve your lawn’s overall vitality and resilience.
Speaking of healthy lawns, even with minimal intervention, a well-maintained lawn can truly shine. Here’s a recent snapshot of the lawn, showcasing its natural beauty.
With spring approaching, now is the perfect time to prepare your lawn for a season of healthy growth and beauty. Get those pre-emergent and starter fertilizer applications done, and get ready to enjoy your lawn all season long!
