Fertilizers
When should I lime...and can I use lime when I use your products?Liming is done to adjust the pH of soil. The pH of your soil should range between 5.5 and 7.5. If the pH is above or below this range, then grass plants have difficulty absorbing certain essential nutrients they need to thrive. When the pH falls below 5.5, then lime should be added to increase it. If your pH is over 7.5, then sulfur is added to reduce it. The ideal pH for grass plants is typically around 6.5. |

When to FertilizeThe most important thing you can do for a lawn is to provide it with proper nutrition. A well-fed, healthy lawn has a better root system to combat heat, cold, drought, and other stresses. A quality, granular, controlled-release fertilizer, such as Scotts fertilizers, allows grass plants to grow evenly, without starvation periods or heavy growth spurts. Controlled, even growth also minimizes grass clippings. |

Won´t fertilizing just mean more mowing and more clippings to deal with?It depends on the kind of fertilizer you use. Not all lawn fertilizers are the same, and they don't all have the same effect on your grass. Scotts fertilizers contain patented slow-release nitrogen to feed your lawn as it needs it, keeping your lawn thick and green, without causing surge growth and excess clippings. |
