TURF TALK

I can’t afford lawn care programs. Can’t I do something else to keep my weeds down?

Absolutely. Weeds love a weak or thin spot in your lawn and move in before you know it.  The best defense is a good offence. Here’s how to strengthen your lawn making it thicker and more resilient over time, effectively crowding weeds out: 

  • Water about 1” per week.  Water deeply (1/2” at a time) and infrequently.  Twice a week is practical.
  • Water twice as much for one week if your lawn is dry and you need to catch up.
  • Keep your lawn cut at 3-4”. 3” in spring, 4” in summer, then back to 3” in fall.  Longer grass blades retain more moisture, reduce evaporation, improve the thickness of the lawn, and choke out weeds.
  • Use compost instead of topsoil when top dressing or seeding. Compost does not contain weeds and is loaded with microbes and nutrients that will feed the lawn for months. Topsoil is loaded with weeds and has far less nutrient value.
  • Seed your lawn in the spring.

We’ve been using BAM! Green since we first moved into our home three years ago, and the difference we’ve seen in our lawn has been amazing!! No weeds, really lush and a beautiful colour (and no dead patches, even better!)
