The Ultimate Lawn Comeback: Six Easy Steps to Revive St. Augustine Grass

Hey There, Lawn Lovers! 🌱

Question: Is your St. Augustine lawn on the struggle bus?  

If your St. Augustine lawn looks like a hayfield, don't sweat it! We've been there and we've also got the ultimate organic pick-me-up: With these six steps we can get your lawn back to it's beautiful self. 

Step 1: Watering 101 💦

First things first, let's talk H2O. Drowning your lawn is no good, and neither is letting it turn into the Sahara. Aim for that Goldilocks zone of "just right" with deep, infrequent watering. Trust us; your lawn will drink it up!  Use a screwdriver or a soil probe to routinely check for moisture in several spots around your lawn.  Pay attention to the brown areas.  If the soil is properly hydrated the screwdriver will go right in.  Doing this weekly can help you stay ahead of issues before they arise.

Step 2: Dead Spot Clean Up 🧹

Time to roll up those sleeves and tackle those pesky brown patches! With a soft leaf rake in hand, gently clean away the dead grass down to the soil to make room for new, vibrant growth. The cleaner you get this without killing your healthy living grass the faster this process will go.  Feel free to pluck any unwanted volunteers from the lawn at this time.  We already have brown spots so what will a few more hurt?  Think of it as your lawn's fresh start—a clean slate for a greener future!  

Step 3: Fertilize Like a Pro 🌿

Time to roll out the red carpet for our Seasonal Lawn Bundle! Whatever season you're in we have you covered.  This isn't just any fertilizer; it's the VIP treatment for your lawn. With the current season specific bundle from HealthySoilOrganics you always know you're getting everything your lawn needs to thrive this season.  You're giving your grass the organic feast it deserves.

Step 4: Compost Magic 🪄

This will help add life to the soil, provide moisture retention and provide something your grass loves to grow into.  This is the secret sauce to a lush, happy lawn. It's like giving your grass a spa day!

Step 5: The Grand Finale: Water! 💧

It's time for the final splash. Use small bowls or a rain gauge to make sure you're giving your lawn around 1 inch of water. This will activate the MicroLife and put moisture into that beautiful compost.  This is the grand finale that brings it all home.  

Step 6: Now We Watch and Wait

Now that you have put everything into motion you want to see results.  The best way to do this is through the use of photographs.  Please take a few pictures of your lawn from different angles and then do it again every two weeks for the next few months.  This will help you understand the progress your hard work has made.  You will also start picking up on clues that keep you ahead and helps keep this from happening in the future.
