Crabgrass

Clover

Crabgrass

Clover

Clover grows in nitrogen poor soil, and absorbs nitrogen from the air, so it doesn't need it from the soil. Grass does need nitrogen from the soil, so clover is a red flag letting you know your lawn is starving.

Additional Information

September through October is the perfect time to seed a new lawn or aerate and over seed an existing one. The variation of warm days and cool nights with the right amount of moisture in the ground creates the ideal growing conditions for grass seed. Those pesky weeds are slow to germinate during this time of year, so the grass seed can thrive and strengthen before winter arrives.

Benefits of Aeration and Overseeding:

· Aeration is one of the best things you can do for your lawn. It keeps your grass growing thicker.

· Overseeding introduces new grass seed to fill in those weak and bare areas that need special attention and also builds resistance to insect damage and turf disease.
