A simple soil test done by a lab can give you a quick indication if your soil is lacking specific nutrients, or if the pH level needs to be adjusted.
New Trees and Shrubs
Need watered atleast twice a week to get established threw the summer
Fertilization
Regular fertilization throughout the year is necessary to maintain a healthy lawn.
The number of applications of fertilization needed will vary from location to location and will also depend on the type of grass and soil conditions.
fertilization throughout the year will help your lawn to replenish nutrients and color depleted during the winter, reduce stress caused by drought and heat and develop strong healthy grass roots that survive from year to year.
Fresh Gas
Fresh Gas — Fresh gas (87 or higher octane rated) is critical to an engine’s performance. To fill the mower’s tank, use a clean funnel to draw gasoline from either a one- or two- gallon gas can. Plastic gas cans are a good choice because they won’t rust. If you own a five-gallon gas tank, dispose of it properly; the problem with a five- gallon can is that it provides the user with more than a 30-day fuel supply. Gas that is older than 30 days may affect engine performance. Moisture buildup and octane loss can lead to gum deposits in the engine’s fuel lines and carburetor, which can lead to poor engine performance.
Know what Feeds Your Weeds
Every weed tells a story about your soil. Crabgrass likes compact soil. Cinquefoil likes poor dry soil. Dandelions like high pH. Use your soil test as a guide to make conditions favorable to turf and unfavorable to weeds. Many plants you might consider weeds are beneficial to your lawn and useful to humans. For example, clover helps make nitrogen available in the soil, and plantain can be applied to the skin to soothe insect bites. And a diversity of species leads to lawns that are more hardy.
