Words of Wisdom.......

The City of Austin commissioned a study through Texas A&M to measure the effects of different types of fertility treatments on lawns.  The City commissioned the study to find out which fertilizers would be least likely to pollute and still satisfy the desire for an attractive lawn.  "The Texas A&M study compared nine different fertilizers and found that the certified organic, or other labeled, natural fertilizers out-performed the synthetic products in the study for BOTH appearance and pollution prevention."

More Words of Wisdom.....

"Organic, slow-release fertilizers are particularly well suited to maintaining healthy, vigorous lawn grasses.  Thus, 'organic' lawn care can and should result in reduced use of pesticides, if not in their elimination." - Dr. Eliot C. Roberts, Director, The Lawn Institute.

Cover your bare spots....

Covering your beds with a thick layer (around 3") of mulch helps suppress weeds and retain moisture.  For tough or thick weeds, pulling or spraying with 20% vinegar solution prior to mulching may be necessary.  Sometimes repeated vinegar applications are needed.

Takes One to Know One.....

Get a soil test for your lawn and figure out exactly what it is you need to be giving it.  This is a great way to reduce some of your costs and avoid unnecessary fertilizers or treatments.  EarthAction Lawn can do one for you or you can call a soil lab to get your own.
