There are plenty of tips and tricks out there when it comes to lawn care. The trouble? Not all of them work. This can lead homeowners like you in Patchogue, Bayport, and nearby areas in NY down the wrong path when it comes to residential lawn care. To avoid this, make sure you don’t waste time with the following:
- Aerating your lawn with spiked shoes. There’s a claim that using spiked shoes to aerate your lawn will break up compaction in the soil. However, at least 5% of your soil needs to be aerated to reduce compaction in the soil. Shoes can’t come close to accomplishing that.
- Fertilizing your lawn with beer. Another false claim? Feeding your lawn beer will help it grow and will get rid of brown or yellowing areas. It can, however, allow yeast to feed fungus in your yard, allowing diseases to spread. Avoid this and stick to real fertilizer.
- Using chewing gum to treat moles. Don’t try to treat moles with chewing gum. You’ll waste a lot of time, energy, and chewing gum. There’s no evidence that moles actually eat the gum and end up choking. Instead, hire a professional company to handle the pest problem properly.
- Pulling out weeds by hand. When you see a weed, you naturally want to pull it out. But doing this often means there’s some of the root left behind. This will grow into a new plant eventually, frustrating you in the end. Skip hand-pulling and get residential lawn care and weed control from a professional in the Patchogue area.
