Fertilized, then aerated?
you need you let your lawn recouperate, for the amount of time that the
lawn was neglected. LeeAnne wrote: I am going to ask your forgiveness up front if I seem insane for my question and/or what I've done. Growing up in Brooklyn, NY didn't afford me much time to become familiar with lawncare. I have recently purchased a home in East TN. That home came with a beautiful lawn. Somehow I have managed in the span of 11 months to change all that (May - Mar). The lawn suffers from cutting too low, not fertilizing, and not controlling weeds. I have many weeds (clovers to be exact) throughout the lawn. I recently got advice to use Scotts Fertilizer w2 weed control. I followed all the directions and applied the product. Unfortunately I didn't check the weather report. About 16 hours after the application it rained. It has been 9 days since the application and I haven't noticed any change in the lawn. I read on the Scotts.com site that it is a good idea to core aerate your lawn, so yesterday I happened to see a neighborhood youth on a aeration campaign to raise $$. Therefore, I allowed him to aerate my entire lawn. Now I am concerned that aerating so soon after applying the fertilizer w/ weed control may not have been a good idea. Should I re-apply the fertilizer product sparingly to accomodate for the rain and aeration? Is there anything else that I can do to see results sooner? I am considering using a liquid spray weed kill product to deal with the weeds more immediately. What do you think? Any input on any of the above questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, JG |
