4 Steps to a great lawn in 2018

   

In order for your lawn to look its best spring, summer and fall, it needs nutrients. The Flower Bin Lawn Care program is built on the idea that regular fertilization, along with aeration and good mowing and watering practices, is key to maintaining a strong, healthy lawn. A healthy lawn is more resistant to weeds and disease problems. The Fertilome® brand of lawn and garden products is the mainstay of our program and includes four steps designed to keep your lawn healthy throughout the growing season.

When you purchase all four bags of The Flower Bin Lawn Care program at once, you will save 20% of the cost of the program and you will continue to save 20% on every Fertilome® product you purchase throughout the year,

including a wide selection of garden fertilizers, insect and weed controls. Once you've signed up for the program, we'll send you a post card reminding you when it's time to apply each step. This way, you know you are applying the right product, at the right time of the season, when it will benefit your lawn the most.

The program begins with Step 1, Fertilome’s® For All Seasons II fertilizer and weed preventer. One of the most effective ways to control weeds in your lawn is to prevent them from showing up in the first place and this product works to keep weed seed from germinating.

This includes crabgrass. Step 1 is applied between mid-March and mid-April.

Weed-Out Plus Lawn Fertilizer is step 2. Weed-Out Plus works to control weeds you can see. 

This is the product to apply for dandelions, mallow and other weeds you can see in your lawn. Weed-Out Plus also feeds your lawn and is applied around the first of June. 

Step 3 is Lawn Food Plus Iron and this is applied in early August, right when your lawn needs nitrogen and iron.

Step 4 is Winterizer. Winterizer is applied around Halloween, when your grass is storing up energy for the winter weather ahead. 

Winterizer fertilizer goes right to the roots of your turf and remains there until your lawn calls for it in the spring. Applying Winterizer in the fall gives your lawn the nutrients it needs for greening up quickly next spring. Each of the products in The Flower Bin Lawn Care program is available in 20-pound and 40-pound bags. A 20-pound bag will cover up to 5,000 square feet of lawn. A 40-pound bag will cover up to 10,000 square feet of lawn.
