Generally we dont like to put down insecticides
and pesticides unless there is a problem.
The weeds is clover a problem to you or does
your lawn have to be all grass? Or you know
clover is green.
People going down the road 30 40 miles per
hour they cant tell if the lawn is green.
They have no idea. So try to accept what nature
provides you.
Your perennial flower bed right here I mean
you are introducing good insects to help combat
the bad ones that are going to be attacking
your lawn.
But for insects and grubs like Japanese beetles
we like to make sure that there is actually
a problem. If you suspect that you have Japanese
beetles the grubs are the ones that are hurting
your lawn. You take about a foot square piece
of soil and dig down about a couple a few
inches and then just peel it back just like
sod and count how many grubs you find. And
if you find six or more grubs in a square
foot you have got a problem. There are pesticides
that will control Japanese beetles but its
got to be done in usually I think its July
for it to be effective.
