FOR THE BEST LAWN IN TOWN

Your lawn through theyear with help from...

1. For maximum germination, please be sure that the grass seed is in firm contact with the loosened soil. If the lawn has not been mowed, do so before raking the ground to loosen the soil. In the case of larger areas, use of a rented, motorized, thatching machine can be helpful in the establishment of a seed bed. While raking, remove dead grass, stones, sticks, etc. from the lawn area.

2. Apply seed at proper rates listed on bag by hand or with a spreader. Do not seed too heavily.

3. Apply Jonathan Green New Seeding Fertilizer (14-28-15) and Lime if needed. In the absence of a soil test, apply 50 pounds of Lime per 1,000 square feet. Seed, Fertilizer and Lime can be applied (in any order) on the same day, and should be raked lightly into the soil.

4. Seed bed should be kept moist for a few weeks while the grass seed germinates until the lawn is mowed. Consult with your dealer and the Lawn Care Calendar for a follow up lawn maintenance program.

Successful seeding can be accomplished if theseprocedures are followed for both over-seedinglawns and establishing new lawns.

HELPFUL LAWN TIPSWeed Control Tips:CRABGRASS AND GRASSY WEEDS germinate in the Spring when thesoil becomes warm enough. Apply Step 1 during Spring months for thebest control. Watering lawn after application enhances control and feedingaction. After applying, refer to bag for seeding instructions.BROADLEAF WEEDS apply when weeds are actively growing throughout the year. Do not mow 2 days before OR after application.Apply to moist grass. Do not water for 1-2 days after application anddelay application if rainfall is expected within 24 hours. After applyingthis product, do not seed for 4 weeks.

Watering Tips:A total of one inch of water per week, including rainfall, is desirable.Watering deeply two or three times a week in the morning for 30-40 minutes, if necessary, is most beneficial for your lawn. Avoid frequentlywatering for short periods of time.

Lawn Mowing Tips:Do not mow your grass too short. A height of 21/2 to 31/2 inches works bestfor a healthy lawn. Raise the mowing height during Summer months. Keepyour mower blade sharp so that you do not “shred” your grass. Do notmow wet grass. Do not cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade. Mow regularly, usually once a week. Clippings may be left on the lawn, providedthey do not smother the grass.

Lime and how it affects pH:Lawns grow best when pH levels are between 6.0 to 6.7. Take a soil test todetermine pH level, or apply 50 pounds of Lime per 1,000 square feet peryear. You may apply Lime at any time of year and also while applyingother lawn products. Pelletized Lime spreads fastest with less dust.

WHY ARE LAWNS SO IMPORTANT?Benefits of Home Lawns:

• Lawns Purify the Air: The leaves of grass plants absorb pollutants, including those associated with acid rain and the“Greenhouse Effect”. Grass plants remove carbon dioxide fromthe air and produce oxygen in return! An average lawn of 5,000square feet provides enough oxygen for eight people every day.

• Lawns Improve the Quality of Our Surroundings: The lawnaround your house cools the immediate environment, saving onair conditioning costs. Grass controls erosion and improves soil conditions by absorbing “run-off” water. A healthy lawn purifieswater, reduces noise, reduces glare, and increases your propertyvalue.
