DID YOUR LAWN TURN BROWN FROM THE FREEZE?
Insect IQ can solve your lawn problems!
From the field, Operations Manager David Ketchum
Has your gorgeous lawn suddenly browned after last week's freeze? Unfortunately, it is not realistic to cover your lawn as you would your other greenery when our night temperatures drop below 33 degrees. In the months of December and January, Insect IQ / NutriLawn prepared your lawn for such a freeze by applying a product called Potash.
Water or not to water?
Although the blades of your lawn have browned, your root system is strong, healthy and prepared to flourish with Spring. To best ensure this happens, DO NOT change your watering cycle! Once a week in the morning hours is best practice this time of the year.
The addition of POTASH, of the three major elements in the fertilizer nitrogen phosphorus and potassium the potassium is the element that strengthens the root system. As the root system in plants and lawns grow we apply potash in December and January, the specific reason when you get a frost or freeze the grass tends to go into shock. St Augustine is a tropical type plant which doesn't hold up well, when we get to temperatures 32 or below the potassium or potash help strengthen the root system and helps it recover quicker. Once we get into the spring and the soil temperature rise which is generally after the time change.
