Now's the time to feed your lawn.

 

When is the most important time to feed your lawn? The answer is now. The fertilizer you apply now will go directly to the roots of your lawn, where it is stored until the weather warms up in the spring and the lawn begins to green up. At this point your lawn depends on the energy stored in its roots. The most important part of the fertilizer you apply now is Nitrogen, the first number on the bag.

Fertilome Winterizer contains 25% Nitrogen, plus Phosphate and Potassium to help your lawn absorb and store the fertilizer you apply now. You can buy a 20 pound bag, which covers 5,000 square feet or a 40 pound bag which covers 10,000 square feet.

Rich Lawn Winterizer is organically-based and has a 15-3-6 formula. A 40 pound bag covers 6,000 square feet.  If you’re looking for an all-organic winterizer fertilizer, pick up a bag of

Nature’s Cycle (made in Platteville) or

Alpha Lawn II plus iron (made in Loveland). The organic fertilizers typically cover about 3,000 square feet of lawn. Stop in and see us. We'll help you select the right fertilizer for your lawn.

There are many who say that Panayoti Kelaidis has changed Western gardening more that anyone in recent times. There is no doubt that his influence on gardening and plant selection is substantial. As an expert in horticulture, science and art, the Senior Curator and Director of Denver Botanical Gardens Outreach, has traveled extensively and spoken throughout the world. He is past president of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the American Rock Garden Society

and the American Penstemon Society. In 2000, he was the recipient of the Arthur Hoyt Scott Medal from Swarthmore College, generally considered the highest honor in American Horticulture. Panayoti almost singlehandedly introduced the genus Delosperma to general horticulture.

Delosperma or Ice Plant is a low growing, long-flowering ground cover. This would be a great chance for you to ask Panayoti why he chose the name “ice plant”. Born and raised in Colorado, his extensive knowledge of horticulture in our unique climate will help you better understand the possibilities of gardening in Colorado. On Saturday, September 27^th at 1:00 p.m. you’ll have the opportunity to sit down and visit with Panayoti in The Flower Bin’s classroom.
