For optimum

results that rival some of this country's premiere golf course greens,

be sure your lawn gets the iron it needs. Lawn revitalizers, like PerkUp

they don't promote excessive growth, which means no additional mowing!

One application

of granular PerkUp adequately watered in will green up lawns within as

little as 48 hours and keep them greener than the neighbors' for as long

as six weeks. And, with no worries of buildup, you can reapply as often

as desired to maintain a lawn that's sure to turn your neighbors green

with envy.

In addition

to iron, PerkUp also includes potassium, a vital ingredient needed to

strengthen roots, and magnesium, which is included for better micronutrient

balance. PerkUp has been used by leading golf courses in this country

for years to green up fairways and greens prior to tournaments, as well

as at major sports stadiums. It has only been made available to consumers

through neighborhood lawn and garden centers in the past year. Its restorative

ingredients are also ideal for use with various acid-loving plants, such

as azaleas and rhododendron, to help leaves maintain their deep color.

For maximum

effectiveness, lawn revitalizers like PerkUp should be applied early in

the growing season late spring or early summer, depending on the region

and current weather conditions. The goal is to start enhancing root development

before the heat and droughts hit.

Of course,

watering is still always a good idea regardless of the weather (remember

it's not just during the hot, dry months that lawns crave moisture). Also

keep in mind that frequent watering for short periods of time can actually

hurt your lawn by not allowing enough water to reach the roots. Instead,

water your lawn once a week for about four hours, allowing the water to

seep deeply into the soil to promote maximum root growth.

But with all

the water bans in place during summer heat and drought periods, your lawn

will still benefit most with a lawn revitalizer that helps you get the

most out of your soil with a minimum amount of nutrients and water.

Other tips

for maintaining the "green, green grass of home" include:

Mow grass

regularly at the highest setting so blades are not as susceptible to damage.

Recycle grass

clippings, since these contain vital nutrients and can act like free fertilizer.

Control weeds

so they don't compete with blades for the water and nutrients that are

in the soil.

If your lawn

still turns brown after following these steps, consider having your soil

tested for disease or insect infestation.
