There’s a lot of information available about how to properly take care of your lawn. The trouble is that not everything you read is true. If you’re not a lawn care expert, how can you separate fact from fiction? Lawn Doctor of Tupelo-Corinth-Jackson is here to help with the truth behind some common residential lawn care myths, including the following:
- Myth #1: Lawns are generally the same. Every lawn is unique, from the grass species to soil composition, sun and shade exposure, size, problem areas, and more.
- Myth #2: Fertilizers are bad for the environment. As long the proper amount is applied, fertilizer is good for your lawn and won’t harm the environment.
- Myth #3: Weeds should be pulled out by hand. Hand-pulling weeds often means some of the root gets left behind, growing back in as a new weed.
- Myth #4: Moles can be controlled with chewing gum. There’s a claim that moles will eat chewing gum and choke, wiping out your pest problem. This, however, has no evidence to support it.
- Myth #5: Beer can be used as a fertilizer. The yeast in beer might boost grass growth, but also feeds fungus. Likewise, other beer ingredients, like alcohol and sugar, will do more harm than good.
- Myth #6: You always need to lime your lawn. Your lawn only needs lime when low soil pH is inhibiting the availability of nutrients. This means a soil test is necessary to determine whether lime is needed.
