PREVENTING CLOVER
Regular feedings, 2-4 times per year, provide the nutrients your lawn needs to grow thick and strong and help crowd out weeds.
Mowing at a height best for your lawn allows the grass to grow thick and develop a deep root system. Grass clippings recycle nutrients back into the soil.
Your lawn will begin to wilt when water is needed. As much as possible, take advantage of nature's sprinklers and rely on the rain to water your lawn. If using sprinklers, water lawns deeply and infrequently (1" of water per week is all that your lawn needs).
HELPFUL TIPS:
- Clover thrives in underfed lawns because it is able to absorb nitrogen from the air, which the lawn cannot do. This is why feeding the lawn 2-4 times per year, gives the grass the advantage over clover.
