When it comes to lawn care, it’s hard to know what’s fact and what’s fiction. There’s so much information available, not all of which is true. At Lawn Doctor of Fort Myers, we can help. As local residential lawn care experts in Naples, Fort Myers, and nearby areas in FL, we know what’s reality and what to avoid, including the following myths:
- Myth #1: Lawns are generally the same. Just like people, every lawn is unique, from the grass species growing in it to the topography, condition and profile of the soil, sun and shade exposure. Local growing and climate conditions also impact grasses differently, requiring care that is customized.
- Myth #2: Weeds should be hand-pulled. Weeds are pesky and persistent. It’s why you should avoid hand-pulling them. When you do, if you leave behind even the tiniest bit of the root, it will regenerate into a new plant. If you have weeds, it’s best, instead, to hire a professional in the Naples area to provide customized residential lawn care.
- Myth #3: Aeration is easy with spiked shoes. Aeration is only effective if 5% of the soil is aerated. Spiked shoes don’t come close to achieving this, so they are simply a waste of time. Walking all over your lawn with them can actually increase compaction. Rather, opt for core aeration, which is time-tested and proven to work,
- Myth #4: Beer is a good fertilizer. The claim is that the yeast in the beer fuels growth and fertilizes the lawn. However, yeast is also good for fungus, which can damage your lawn. In addition, other ingredients, like sugar and alcohol found in beer can harm your grass – not help it.
