How can you separate what&#8217;s true and what&#8217;s not?\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Benton-Bryant can help. We offer expert residential lawn care in Alexander, Benton, and surrounding areas in AR. We know what&#8217;s time-tested and\u00a0fact versus what&#8217;s a myth. To help you, here\u00a0are a few misconceptions\u00a0to avoid.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Putting beer or sugar on your lawn improves growth. <\/strong>These don&#8217;t fuel growth or improve color, but can feed fungus and lead to the development of diseases. Avoid household\u00a0items that don&#8217;t work and instead stick with what&#8217;s tried-and-tested: real fertilizer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Using spiked shoes can help reduce soil compaction.\u00a0<\/strong>Despite claims, wearing spiked shoes to aerate compacted soil doesn&#8217;t actually work. Around 5% of the soil needs to be aerated and shoes can&#8217;t accomplish this. Again, rely on\u00a0what is proven to work, including core aeration with proper equipment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Applying salt, vinegar, and other concoctions can naturally kill weeds.<\/strong> Weeds are pesky and persistent, which means you might be willing to try anything to treat them. However, don&#8217;t use ingredients like vinegar or salt, which can actually burn your grass and harm your lawn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skipping fertilizer is good because\u00a0it&#8217;s bad for the earth. <\/strong>A healthy lawn is actually good for the earth because it traps air pollutants and produces oxygen. And it requires fertilization in proper amounts to grow vigorously. However, if you over-fertilize, it can leech into the groundwater, which is why it&#8217;s best to get professional help from a residential lawn care company in the Alexander area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pulling out weeds by hand works.<\/strong> Doing so can inadvertently disperse seeds and, if a tiny bit of the root is left in the soil, the plant will grow back. As a result, you&#8217;re wasting time and effort by hand-pulling weeds rather than investing in a comprehensive weed control plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Ready for Residential\u00a0Lawn Care from\u00a0the Experts in\u00a0Alexander?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Skip the myths and misconceptions and\u00a0instead get care that&#8217;s based on science and facts with\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Benton-Bryant.
