Starting Your Spring Landscaping
Start your spring spruce-up with a thorough inspection of your trees and shrubs. Check for any broken or damaged branches, and consider pruning them or hiring a professional for removal.
Should I Fertilize My Lawn?
Test your soil to make sure it has the right pH balance and mix of nutrients. When deciding whether or not to fertilize, base it off what nutrients your soil requires.
To ensure optimal results, use a slow-release fertilizer from Kurtz Bros, Inc. that matches your soil needs.
The Importance of Mulching and Composting
Organic materials are great for improving soil health too! Don’t forget to feed your plants and trees during your spring landscaping process.
Add an inch of fresh mulch before applying fertilizer. Mulch helps limit week growth, control erosion, and retain moisture. When fertilizing, apply pre-emergent weed preventer in late March or April in Ohio.
If your goal is to encourage plants to grow faster or bloom more, or increase the production of food plants, then use compost.
