A slow release formula is also recommended, so your lawn does not receive all the ni- trogen at once. Leaving the clip- pings on your lawn after cutting is also an excellent source of ni- trogen. If you did not dethatch your lawn in the fall and it was very thick last year, you should do it now. Thatch is the layer of dead grass between the soil and the new growth at the top. If this layer is too thick your lawn will suffer. It can prevent new shoots from starting and is a haven for insects. Many hard- ware stores carry attachments for your lawnmower to remove the excess thatch. Aeration is also a beneficial practice for your lawn, if it is hard packed from being walked onordriven on. If weeds were a problem last year you may want to treat them, either chemically or by hand. If you pull them by hand you must make sure you get the entire root, or the plant will come back, sometimes more than one. If you decide that a chemical treatment is neces- sary you may wish to hire a pro- fessional, who would know the best time to apply the herbicide and will apply it at the proper rate. If you decide to treat your own lawn make sure to read the label carefully, because timing is critical for proper control and safety. article courtesy of Ian's Weed Control Examples 16 x 32 18 x 32 20 x40 | TRUCKLOAD SOLAR | BLANKETS SALE $79.95 -$92.95 | HAYWARD SUPER II | AND DYNA-GLASS 1 HP.
