Lawn Fertiziler

Most lawn owners agree that you must mow and water your lawn to maintain its health. However, some question whether or not their lawn requires fertilizer. They shouldn't. Fertilizing is one of the cheapest and most effective ways to improve a lawn. A balanced diet is important for people and animals to sustain good health. This holds true for your lawn as well. You should fertlizer your lawn at least twice and year and preferably 3 to 5 times a year. This will provide a consistant and healthy diet for your grass. Your grass is competing with weeds, as well as neighboring trees and shrubs, for nutrients and water. Because of the demands that are placed on lawns, they must be fertilized.

Some of the benefits of a properly fertilized lawn include:

• Good color, density and vigor
• Resistance to insects, weeds and diseases
• Handles stress and damage better
