3 Reasons to Combine Lawn Fertilization & Weed Control | Pest Badger Blog

No One Does Pest Control Like Pest Badger!
In order to have a lawn able to withstand threats to its health, having a combination of lawn fertilization and weed control is essential. Weed control will prevent weeds from invading your lawn and stealing essential nutrients from your grass, while fertilization will give your grass the boost it needs to develop a strong root structure and lush color. Doing one without the other will prove ineffective. Fertilizer can strengthen existing weeds the same way it does the grass, and weed control will not fill nutrient gaps in the soil needed for your lawn’s growth. When paired, these methods will effectively give your lawn a bit of armor against some of the tougher challenges it will unavoidably face in the years to come. Whether it be diseases like red thread or an infestation of voles, both common throughout Wisconsin, any leg up in that department can make the difference in achieving a healthy lawn that is stronger than ever or ending up with the patchy, sad lawn of your nightmares.

1. Without weed control, weeds are actively stealing nutrients from the rest of your lawn.

If weeds are not dealt with, they will steal essential nutrients from the plants around them. Increasing the frequency or quality of the fertilizer you’re using won’t produce results so long as there are weeds in your lawn – you’re just going to be feeding the weeds as much as you’re feeding your grass.
To effectively eliminate weeds from your lawn, you will want to enroll in a weed control program. These programs usually consist of two types of weed control: pre-emergent and post-emergent. Pre-emergent weed control is designed to prevent weeds from growing in the first place. Post-emergent treatments are designed to eliminate existing weeds.

2. Your soil may not have the nutrients your lawn needs to thrive without fertilization.

Many people remove weeds from their lawn and think the job is done, getting discouraged when a few months later, their lawn still hasn’t flourished. You can’t use only weed control and call it a day – it’s not enough. You need to pair weed control with the necessary fertilization to bolster growth because soil often is lacking the essential nutrients your grass needs to thrive. By adding fertilizer, you are pumping extra, much-needed nutrients into the soil for the roots to utilize.
Most fertilizers will have a combination of three main components: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

3. Pairing weed control with fertilization is the recipe for a strong, healthy lawn.

It’s a no-brainer that you want your grass to be as healthy as possible so it can withstand any challenges that inevitably come, and the way to get that healthy grass is to combine fertilizer with weed control treatments. A combination of weed control and lawn fertilization will bolster the growth and strength of your lawn, making it better equipped to survive threats in the environment. By ridding your lawn of weeds, you’re allowing your grass to absorb all the wonderful nutrients in the fertilizer without competition. By fertilizing, you’re enabling your grass to establish itself in the space, and weeds have a very difficult time surviving in lawns with healthy, dense grass.
