If you fertilized your lawn this spring your lawn is now ready for another feeding.  Summer can be one of the most stressful times on the lawn because of heat, humidity, drought, increased insect activity and fungus diseases.  A gentle feeding during summer months helps to keep your lawn healthy and growing.  It also continues to build the health of the soil by encouraging the soil life.  We recommend using one of our organic lawn fertilizers like Natural Beauty 10-0-1 or Organic Lawn Fertilizer 8-3-1.  In addition to one of these fertilizers an application of Love Your Lawn-Love Your Soil continues to improve the soil and stimulate microbial activity.  All of these products are safe to use around kids and pets and contain high quality organic ingredients.  Remember for best results be sure to water in after applying.
