WE KILL WEEDS!

The 2010 season was a hot, dryand in general, a hard year for all lawns. The evidence was in the abundance of weeds. Did you know that each weed is an ID to what is going on in your soil area? So, ID the weed and the issues that provided them with their competitiveness, to change the balance towards your lawns health and vigour.

At times thou, weeds get a jump on us such as creeping Charlie did this year. We need to be aggressive with this weed and many others. Meaning, three applications over a thirty day period while maintaining a yearly program. At times these organic products are not as aggressive as chemicals were. These chemicals were destructive to the soil, environment, animals and humans. You will definitely see the difference with the degree of control from those chemicals which provided fast destruction to the weed. There were times even the chemicals due to weather, could not provide much control. Even with creeping Charlie or clover, multiple applications were required from those chemical weed controls.

Organics in the long run will provide better results by improving soil conditioning. Not all companies provide this service. At Stangl’s, each application has a fertilizer to enhance the lawn’s ability to be competitive, but we also have sugars and other needed nutrients for both the soil and plant health. Other companies fall short here. You can see it in their marketing. You get the basic fertilizer program for how much? Dollar for dollar we provide more.

FIESTA LAWN WEED KILLER


Stangl’s would like to Introduce to you our newest selective broadleaf weed killer “Fiesta,” for the 2011 season. Fiesta combined with our Weed Manager has shown great results for plant health and importantly, killing the weeds. I have provided some of the label instructions for your better understanding:

REG. NO. 29535 P.C.P. ACT

SELECTIVE BROADLEAF WEED KILLER

People and pets can enter treated area when spray dries.

No unpleasant odor.

Made with iron.

For use on lawns and turf (on rights of way, non-crop areas, golf courses, parks, cemeteries and athletic fields) consisting of one or more of Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and fescue (tall fescue, chewings fescue, and/or creeping fescue) for the control of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), English daisy (Bellis perennis), false dandelion (Hypochaeris radicata), white clover (Trifolium repens), black medic (Medicago lupulina), bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), common chickweed (Stellaria media), creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens), slender speedwell (Veronica filiformis), narrow-leaved plantain (Plantago lanceolata), dove's-foot geranium (Geranium molle), lawn burweed (Soliva pterosperma), moss and algae, and for the suppression of broad-leaved plantain (Plantago major). Visible signs of control may be seen within several hours after application. Susceptible weeds, moss or algae will turn brown or black Occasionally a darkening of the grass leaf blades can occur after treatment, however the grass will recover within a few days to weeks. May stain thatch (dead grass under lawn); this does not affect the health of the grass.

Use Precautions: Do not apply to drought stressed grass; ensure lawn is well watered prior to application. Do not apply when the daytime temperature will exceed 30oC. Do not apply to bentgrass. If unsure of grass sensitivity, test spray a small area of your lawn. Apply to established turf only. Do not apply to newly seeded areas or to turf generated from seed and that is less than one year old. Avoid spraying desirable plants. Any desirable plants or structures accidentally contacted should be rinsed with water. To avoid staining, wait until treated area dries before re-entry. Do not apply if rainfall is expected within 3 hours of application. Do not irrigate within 3 hours of application. Do not apply more than 2 times per year.


Even with Fiesta, it is not a 100% control, but using it along with our Weed Manager and ID the reason for the weed being there, WE CAN KILL WEEDS and keep your lawn clean. Remember that weeds will always be in our lawns. Stangl’s yearly Classic program, along with the proper cutting height and watering habits can ensure you the best results.
