Spring Aeration 2015
Spring aeration is an important factor for the overall
health of our lawns in this region. Due to the hard clay makeup of our soil,
this should be done twice a year. A Core Aeration will relieve soil compaction
and allow a proper exchange of oxygen and nutrients to the root system aiding
its development. YOU SHOULD be taking steps now to rejuvenate your lawn. The 2
Landscape Governing Bodies (NCSU and NC Dept of Agriculture) have the following
recommendations:
1.
AERATION -- All lawns need aeration to
loosen soil compaction brought on by the winter temperatures.
2.
LIME – Helps balance the soil’s pH
level and adds micronutrients such as Magnesium and Calcium.
3.
PRE-EMERGENT HERBICIDE-
This is a weed blocker that should be applied in early spring to prevent
crabgrass and other unwanted weeds from taking over your turf. This is an
integral part of keeping your yard beautiful and weed-free. It is applied in
conjunction with ORGANIC FERTILIZATION- Nutrients needed for your grass to
thrive and the fertilizer works below the soil where weed seeds germinate.
