Tip # 2 Spring Lawn Tip â Fertilizer Get Your Boots On
Fertilizing is often a fall activity as well but spring fertilizing should be done lightly. It is better to use to little than to much as an excessive amount can lead to weed problems and diseases. Fertilizer companies will have a schedule for their product.
The lawn can also be fertilized on a regular basis using an organic method. The two organic methods are compost and mulching mowers.
Tip # 3 Spring Lawn Care â Shoot First Ask Question Later. Not really use right herbicide.
There are two herbicides pre emergent and post emergent. Pre emergent is used for perennials. It will kill crabgrass seeds and all grass seeds.
Post emergent is used for annuals like dandelions. It used after the plant has sprouted and used on annuals.

This is time to evaluate if a new lawn mower would be more appropriate. That decision will be made on the personal budget, if it is a different home and the needs have changed and the condition of the current lawn mower.
