Our best spring gardening tip? For optimum results, apply fertilizers before June 15th; and always water well. Many homeowners prefer to fertilize their own lawns. If that's the case, know that preparing soil with tilling and fertilization is best at ground thaw, in late June. In addition to tilling and fertilization, early September is the prime time for preparing soil for winter. Apply a Winterizer right before the soil freezes the properly round out ground maintenance for the entire year.
Jump in and get dirty with these initial spring gardening tips, but don't forget about maintaining soil care as the season progresses! A healthy lawn should be watered deeply, requiring about 1 inch of water per week. Meager watering conducted on a daily basis promotes unhealthy and shallow roots. In general, you'll end up with a less healthy lawn. Proper fertilization and watering will ensure you have a beautiful lush lawn this season.
