Are you ready for Spring?

Lush Weed Control

For every weed peeking up at you from your lawn, there are dozens more hiding beneath it. Unfortunately, once the temperatures hit 12 degrees celsius consistently (usually around the end of March) these seeds will wake up and stretch to the surface.

The organic way to ensure this doesn’t happen is Corn Gluten meal. CGM is a bi-product of the milling process and it suppresses seed germination in plants while providing a strong nitrogen fix (green-up). A true organic weed and feed, CGM is applied in early March and late August to prevent any new seasonal weeds.  It doesn't work on established weeds though, but that’s ok, because we have our Natural Fiesta Weed Killer for that. Be afraid weeds, we’re coming for you!

You've probably noticed how moody the weather has been lately- thick frost on the car in the morning, yet sunny and warm in the afternoon.  Don't be tempted to get started on your lawns too early, though, spring is still several weeks away.  After all, you don't like to be shaken awake too early and neither does your grass!
