What to do about those Pesky Bald Spots!

If you look outside at your lawn right now (not your head!) and see areas of little or no grass, and you’re just hoping that grass somehow fills in, you are most likely going to be sadly disappointed. More often than not, weeds beat grass to the bare spots. 

Because we are constantly mowing our lawns, we don’t let grass go to seed, and it doesn’t have a competitive chance. The only way grass can fill in a bare area is through the spreading of underground roots known as rhizomes or over the ground runners known as stolons.

To help your grass compete, you should always keep grass seed on a dark shelf in the potting shed or another cool, dry area. When a bare area appears,

1.  Treat the area with a natural lawn care product such as GlobalCare Lawn Power.  Lawn Power is a safe, non-toxic concentrated solution of naturally fermented enzymes which help decompose complex organic material in soil to simple nutrients that plants can use. Urea nitrogen is also included in the formulation to encourage beautiful, green, thick and uniform grass growth.

2. Spread some seed, cover it with a thin layer of compost and keep the seed moist until a couple of weeks after it germinates.

Actively growing grass will out compete the weeds and help give you that lush, green carpet you may admire.
