Water thoroughly (at least an inch) for 4 consecutive days. There is no guarantee that this will work, but taking these steps may reduce potential damage. Lawn damage from too much fertilizer or spilled fertilizer is often caused by excessive salts in the soil. Adding Gypsum can help neutralize the salts.

Answer: To control weeds, you can over-seed your lawn twice a year (early spring & early fall) to help prevent weed growth. Mowing your lawn high (4-inches or more) shades out most weed seeds and prevents them from germinating, while also slowing growth (for less frequent mowing) and strengthening the immune system of the grass. Keeping your grass unstressed by providing proper light, water, and nutrients will produce a crop of very thick turf. See similar questions...

Slow release fertilizers are actually microscopic coated capsules of fertilizer that breakdown and release their important fertilizer and trace elements over a long period of time. This ensures that your lawn's root system gets those nutrients in measured doses that won't over-stimulate the plants into a sudden growing spurt requiring more mowing. See similar questions...

According to the draft SMP, if an area was cleared prior to the implementation of the SMP and no vegetation other than grass is present, the property owner may continue to maintain the lawn. However, it is encouraged that a vegetative buffer be reestablished in order to protect the water quality of the lake. See similar questions...

Phosphorus from fertilizers runs off lawns and ends up in area wetlands, ponds, and lakes where it promotes algae growth. Algae can damage or kill the water body's eco-system. The make-up of all fertilizers is indicated by a series of three numbers on the package. The middle number indicates the amount of phosphorus the fertilizer contains. Look for a middle number of "0" to be sure you are buying a phosphorus-free fertilizer. See similar questions...

organic or time-release fertilizer balanced in all three elements: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K). We use Nature's Turf 15-1-6, Turf Saver 4-3-4 and Tree Saver 3-0-20 from John Deere's natural line. See similar questions...

Although lawns benefit greatly from a late fall fertilizer, trees and shrubs do not. The fertilizer, which is mainly nitrogen, encourages new shoot growth in woody plants. Encouraging new growth at the end of the growing season may allow a greater chance of winter damage. Late fall pruning is also not recommended, unless the branches are damaged or my break to a heavy snow load. Grass clippings do not make good mulch for roses. See similar questions...

Regular fertilization helps to maintain good lawns. In western Washington, apply N-P-K fertilizers in a 3-1-2 ratio (3 Nitrogen - 1 phosphorous - 2 potassium.) Examples of fertilizers in this ratio would be 21-7-14 or 15-5-10. Sulfur enhances color and helps control some lawn disease problems. See similar questions...

Absolutely not. A few weeks following your installation, the only signs that anything has been installed will be your healthier plants and lawn. We use vibratory plows to perform our installation. Pipe is "pulled" underground through a small slit in the earth; therefore, little is visible once the installation is complete. In general, the nicer the lawn to begin with, the less damage there is.

A complete fertilizer simply means it contains the major (macro) nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Prominently displayed on the front of any complete fertilizer package are three numbers. These numbers refer to the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium respectively. The most common ratio sold for roses is a 1-2-1 ratio, for example 5-10-5. See similar questions...

This is a tough one to answer, because fertilization is so tremendously tied to water quality, potting medium, temperature, light and a variety of other factors. However, if you just have a few plants, and don't want to fuss around a lot learning about the intricacies of water and fertilizer, I'd simply suggest you get any reasonably balanced 'orchid' fertilizer, that is low in urea, and use it at approximately 1/4 to1/2 the label strength every other watering.

Yes. Because lease renewal time is also 'decision' time, many business people retain me to help decide if they should remain in their current space or relocate. Many times, landlords offer better deals to new tenants. It becomes my job to learn what other leasing opportunities are available and use this knowledge to negotiate lower rates and other concessions. See similar questions...
