SPRING. . .
is the time grass rate is at its highest as the soil begins to thaw and warm. As the spring rains start, liquids begin to flow. The soil releases nutrients and the grass roots start absorbing these life-supporting fluids, stimulating the plants early spring growth. The biological, chemical, and physical aspects start to react. Micro-organism activity begins and dead organic matter decomposes. If nutrients and other factors are not available and balanced, results will be poor.This is the time to supply a well balanced diet of nutrients to be absorbed by the plants during their rapid growth period. |
SUMMER. . .
approaches the soil heats up quickly, and the soil reactivity changes. Nutrients become less available as does water. Grass growth slows due to the soil becoming tight and compact. The roots begin to die back and grow towards the surface. The grass is stressed and can weaken nd die. The grass is now more susceptible to disease and insects. Heavy Mat & Thatch conditions develop, which become breeding grounds for insects and diseases due to the day-time heat and humid evenings. It is critical now to keep the grass healthy, to loosen the soil and to supply balanced nutrients to the soil. This builds natural immunity to diseases, insects and stimulates Mat & Thatch decomposition. |
FALL. . .
the soil is at its highest toxicity due the salt build up from the underground water supply, which is laden with fertilizer nitrate run-off. During extreme dry spells the soil will draw this water up to the surface, the sun evaporates the moisture leaving the salt deposits behind. These salts will burn the roots and cause the lawn to thin out. Weeds germinate as they become exposed to sunlight, air and water. This is the best time to apply balanced nutrients in conjunction with a soil detoxifier (contained in our formulation). During Late Fall the soil begins to cool. It can now absorb higher quantity. |
WINTER. . .
The “cool season grasses”
of the Midwest do their most aggressive root growth during cool
weather. A Winter application applied during this period will
take advantage of the two growth seasons for roots, Late Fall/Early
Winter and Late Winter/Early Spring. The soil regenerates and
rejuvenates itself during this most critical period.The alternating
freeze/thaw cycle in the soil allows nutrients and water to penetrate
deeper into the soil, forcing the roots to further penetrate for
food and drink.The soil is preparing itself to release nutrients
in the Spring. |
