Spring Weeds……Tip from All in One Discount Nursery
Here is a Spring Tip from my Matt Raney owner of All in One Discount Nursery in Houston. Matt was just missing a picture.
Garden tip for the day:
What is going on—with these weeds:
The weeds are supposed to be there, what they do is cover the land and protect the microbial animals in the soil from the ultra violet rays of the sun. This phenomenon takes place each year in March because your St. Augustine grass is still dormant from winter—it will not wake up and start to grow until April. Thus –you have weeds in March.
What can I do:
Nothing—don’t do anything, just mow the weeds with the lawn mower and go on with your life. In April the St. Augustine will wake up and begin growing and choke all the weeds out—by the end of April you won’t see weeds again until next year. Save your money and wait and the problem will fix itself. When you see the grass wake up and look like it is time to mow—-THAT is when you fertilize it and feed it. Use all organic “Root Vigor 8-2-3” we have plenty at the nursery come get some. Go organic this year and do something to improve the health of your family and pets.
Whatever you do, don’t’ use “weed and feed”:
Never, ever spread poison out on the land you live on. Not only do you kill all the life in the soil but the soil holds these toxins for years and years after you do this. The soil holds memory of what you do to it.
Studies have shown that just using everyday fertilizers like triple 13 (which was very popular for many years until it was shown to have toxic levels of lead) Not only built up lead but extreme levels of salt in the soil from every year use. This high salt content makes it impossible to have worms in the soil—they can’t stand the salt, it kills them. Without the worms the earth would harden up and become a giant rock.
BUT—-if you want strange tumors and weird health problems go ahead and spread poison all over the land where you are living.
