Could use some experienced help to look over my plan to see if I’m on the right path to get my soil back in shape.
Background – 15,000sf lawn, 70% shade, Connecticut, do not water, spot treat weeds, started a serious lawn treatment plan two years ago with the Jonathan green “4 step lawn care program” Today my lawn is almost completely weed free and nice and green.
Problem – In some places the grass roots are very shallow, the soil is very dry and hard and the lawn develops yellow patches (dry) when it does not rain every couple of days.
Assumption – I am feeding the grass and killing the soil with my fertilizer routine.
Solution - Switch to organic fertilizer, aerate and top dress in the fall with peat moss, start making
compost tea and apply 4 times per year.
For the fertilizer I’m thinking – J. Green Natural Beauty™ All Organic Lawn Fertilizer
Any advise is appreciated
