October - Time to Put Out Fertilizer and Compost!!

October is the month for the last round of lawn fertilizers.

Use an organic fertilizer with a lower nitrogen level to protect your lawn from burning. We recommend Soil Food 5-3-2 from Garden-Ville. Use 40# per 1,000 sq. ft.

Apply compost to your lawn to increase natural microbe activity in your soil. A ½-inch application in the cooler season builds soil health to protect your lawn in the hotter months, and in turn feeds your turf grass. Apply compost each year and you will see a difference in greening, disease resistance and water savings.

If you need help with these applications, give Bob a call at 830-624-7666 and set up an appointment. Services available in the New Braunfels/Garden Ridge/Bulverde and nearby areas.
