Zero Phosphate Fertilizers from Greenview

Do you want a healthy and beautiful green lawn this fall? With Greenview's Zero Phosphate Fall Fertilizer you will get the lawn you always wanted while being "Eco-Friendly" to the environment.

Phosphorous, which young grass needs for root development is usually not needed by mature or well established lawns.  Before choosing a fertilizer it is a good idea to perform a soil test to determine if your lawn needs additional phosphorous. A recent university study concluded that most home lawns have adequate amounts of phosphorous which is delivered naturally from the break down of leaves and plants.

So what are the benefits of using Greenview's Zero Phosphate Fertilizers with slow release nitrogen?  Greenview fertilizers contain a patented slow release technology and are environmentally friendly because they release nutrients slowly over a period of weeks, allowing the grass plant to take up the nutrients. 

Remember, during the fall most home lawns do not need additional phosphorous supplements, so now is the perfect time to use Greenview's Zero Phosphate Fall Fertilizer!

DIY Lawn Care

Do you feel as though your lawn is taking control of your weekends? For many homeowners the ritual of mowing and fertilizing cycles takes over, so they contract with a commercial company to take over the treatments, leaving the homeowner just to do the mowing.  This may seem like a straight forward solution, but for any service, you have to pay a hefty price.  Most services require a full year contract and will treat the lawn every month.  Many do-it-yourself lawn care programs also advocate a monthly treatment which takes time and money.  Greenview prefers that you have your weekends to yourself for fun.  They created a system whereby the slow release of chemicals requires only two applications of fertilizer for the entire growing season.

When the Greenview Fairway Formula treatment is applied at the correct time, weeds are suppressed and the lawn is given a boost to encourage lush spring growth.  The growth though is not excessive because the slow release nutrients are timed to enter the soil at a slower rate. Further fertilization is not needed.  A subscription plan will allow your fertilizer to be shipped direct to your home at the optimum time for your area.  No waiting in line at the local hardware store when everyone else realizes that they need lawn care treatments. No confusion about when you should put down the treatment. The best treatment for your specific area also includes treatments especially formulated for those in a phosphate free region. 

Greenview also offers flexibility. Whether you need just a fertilizer, or you need to fertilize and kill weeds, Greenview has a suitable product for your lawn, and it is dispatched at just the right time.

Preen - New Look, Same Product

Just thought we'd give you a heads-up on our new packaging for Preen, our weed preventer. Well...we have new packaging...but the product hasn't changed. It's still the same product you've come to trust over the years. We just felt the packaging needed a little sprucing up. What'd you think?

Mother's Day - The Perfect Gift!

You may think I am crazy, but what would be a perfect gift for Mother's Day other than something that could be enjoyed all year long? A PERFECT LAWN !!!!

Now think about it, every time she walks outside, the grass is thick and green with no weeds or crabgrass. This is the gift that keeps on giving! Does she more jewelry? How long will flowers last? (Mothers expect flowers. So flowers are still a good idea - lol.) But seriously, this is a gift that will last year round!

Now I would not recommend wrapping this gift up. Give her a card with a note...I will let you write that!

Lori, The Bird Lady

Since I have been here, I have come to know Lori Zimmerman, our resident bird maven, and must say she has really impressed me with her knowledge and dedication. She often comes by my office and says something like "robins are here"..."saw a hawk on my property so I have to be careful when my younger dogs are out" or "the male fenches are back to being gold." On the finches I went, I went huh? Then she explained why that happens. [Read about the Goldfinch on our Lyric bird food site.]

I have also been learning much about bird food and the attention to quality. So that is why I have purchased Lyric - because I know the person behind the brand is making sure your birds are getting the best quality bird food.

Lori Zimmerman, Bird Maven

We want to welcome Lori Zimmerman to our roster of blog authors. Lori is a bird maven and works in our Lyric bird food division. She's going to be posting periodically about birds.

Lori really knows her birds, and we think you'll enjoy reading what she has to say.
