Fertilizer

The time has come and you need to take action with the yards of your house, gardens and everything related to landscaping.

Why do you have to fertilize?

After a long and hard winter, your garden needs you to help it grow back robust and green. For that you need the best fertilizer in the market and the best landscape designers to bring that dantesco work to become a reality in your gardens, to give them life and bright colors of spring.

The best time to fertilize your lawn is in the spring, when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit. You'll know when the soil warms up to 55 because the lilacs begin to blossom and the grass starts growing. For most parts of the country, that means the first feeding should take place by about mid-April. So if you haven't started, now's the time.

We Recommend You

We recommends a slow-release that contains nitrogen but not too much. "The most nitrogen you need on a lawn is one-tenth of a pound per week. The grass can't get any greener than that. If you use more, you're only going to make the grass grow faster so you have to mow more often," Turnbull says. "The secret is to get it as green as possible without growing it fast." Turnbull recommends giving your lawn between two and three pounds of nitrogen over the entire growing season. "If you go with 25-0-4, that gives you one pound of nitrogen, so over four weeks, that's a quarter pound per week," Turnbull says. "That's too much. At that point, you're baling hay instead of mowing a lawn."
