Trying times for Lawn
Care
Trying times for Turf Grass along Colorado's Front Range
With the impending drought and inevitable watering restrictions... what
can one do to lessen the effects of drought stress... and make the best of
the water that we have available?
First... don't neglect the nutritional needs of your lawn!
Nutrient deficient turf is more susceptible to drought injury. However,
the source of nitrogen
makes a huge difference. Most turf fertilizers contain either all fast
release nitrogen... or a blend of fast and slow release products. You may
have noticed, after your or your lawn care company fertilized the lawn...
that it grows like wild fire for a week to two... then slows down. This huge
flush of tender, succulent growth requires massive amount of water to
sustain! If the water is not there... chances are good that the fertilizer
may burn the lawn. News Flash... water restrictions!
There is a fantastic fertilizer product on the market that addresses
this issue!
We have switched our entire residential and commercial lawn
care program to a product called...Meister. Meister is a programmed
release fertilizer. The nitrogen particles are coated with a polymer
that breaks down slowly over time. It literally spoon-feeds the turf...
all season without causing water hungry flushes of growth. Steady...
constant growth also reduces clipping and encourages strong root growth. A
strong, healthy root system also helps to reduce drought stress. Because of
the programmed release properties of Meister... it does not burn the grass,
and when it's applied... you don't have to rush out and water it in. The
lawns entire year of nutrients are applied in a single application!
It's an ideal product... for use during water restrictions!
Meister is only available thru Lawn Care Professionals. For more information on Meister Lawn Care... Contact Jones Tree & Lawn Care at: 303-431-8132 or visit
