It has been a brutal summer for those of us with lawns and no irrigation systems. The heat and lack of rain for 8 weeks made brown lawns and dirt patches the norm. So what do you do now?
Well, the good news is that Fall is the best time to fix your lawn. Getting some root growth before the first frost and then letting the lawn “sleep” all winter will make for spectacular results next spring.
The key to growing grass is water…..and more water and more water. Last year, on the advise of an Organic Landscape Company, I topdressed my lawn with Earl’s Organic Compost. It worked wonders. Our Super Loam is another terrific alternative. Earl’s Organic Compost is unique in that it retains moisture much better than loam does. Thus, when growing a lawn, where moisture is needed 24/7, Earl’s Organic Compost is a great option. I strongly suggest it.
Just spread the Earl’s Organic Compost on the top of your existing lawn or in the bare spots and then spread the seed. Water the lawn at least once per day. The grass should begin growing within a few days and thicken over the next 10 days.
Earl’s Organic Compost is truly a great product.
