Think Spring- Think Green-Think Scotts Lawn Pro Step Fertilizer
Both of these photos were taken in my backyard last year. The stark grey winter scene, featuring our friendly neighborhood herd of deer, was taken in February. The serene green, lush looking lawn with a momma and her twins was taken only 60 or so days later in May. Can you believe the difference? Just looking at these photos side by side brings me hope, of spring and seeing green again.
It seems impossible that in 4 weeks and 6 days (March 21) Spring will officially be here in Michigan. Not that anyone is counting the days (34 days approximately), but it does tend to get rather dreary around these parts in late February/March. So, on these grey days, I try to “think green” and I begin to plan for a lawn care program that is easy and affordable.
In this economy, caring for a large lot can seem like a handful. However, due to a self-imposed “crash course” in lawn maintenance, my husband and I have come to understand that taking the 4 proper steps in lawn fertilization is the key to having and maintaining a great lawn.
After living on this lot the first year, we had a new respect for proper lawn care. This new found wisdom did not come easily, or inexpensively, the first spring season. Considering that we moved from house with a lawn that resembled a postage stamp compared to what we have now, my husband and I have come a long way in realizing that a 4 step fertilization system is exactly what we need to keep our lawn looking lush all season long.
The Scotts Lawn Pro Step Fertilization program is one great way to protect and fertilize your lawn from early spring to late fall. The Scotts Lawn Pro Step 1 Crabgrass Preventer Plus Fertilizer provides selective control of sprouting grassy weeds. One application will lasts up to 2 months. Each All-In-One Particle contains essential nutrients and a crabgrass prevention ingredient for a stronger, greener lawn with season-long pre- and early post-emergent control of crabgrass and other grassy weeds.
The Scotts Lawn Pro Step 1 has a patented time-release formula that works from the roots up and won’t burn. One bag can cover 5,000 sq. ft. It is suggested that you start this fertilization program in early spring. One tip from our experience is that it is never too early to stock up on the fertilizer in case Mother Nature grants us one fine day to begin the process.
Scotts Lawn Pro Step System has a 4 step fertilization approach for great lawn care and maintenance. For more information Scotts Lawn Pro Steps 2, 3 and 4, visit http://www.backyardstyle.com/ .
