Feeding your lawn with quality nutrients is important. In lawn care, sand can help toad to the health of your grass as well as add to the overall look of it. Consider if your lawn needs this type of back up plan.
Feeding The Lawn
During the spring, your lawn needs to be fed to prepare it for the long summer. Doing so helps to prevent the weeds that grow here and it helps to improve the disease risks that your grass faces. When your lawn is cared for, it also looks green. To accomplish this, you do need to consider using a fertilizer. You want the NPK to be balanced. This stands for nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. A good ratio according to professionals is 11 to 4 to 8.
Before adding fertilizer, be sure the ground has been aerated to add air to the ground. Remove anything that should not be there. Cover any bare sections of soil with a lawn care sand application. Use a spreader to spread the fertilizer evenly. You should cover your lawn correctly with the fertilizer, minimizing overlapping. The best time to apply a fertilizer to the lawn is right after it has rained well.
