Turf CARE

Posted by admin on Monday, 4 April, 2011

MOLES!!! They seem to be tunneling rampant here in Tennesssee and surrounding areas! We had several inquires regarding mole control at the Nashville Lawn & Garden Show last month. If you visited us there and purchased our mole control products……we thank you…….and I’m sure that you are also now part of our Talpirid fan club as are many of our customers! We carry two products…..Talpirid bait and Aloft granular insecticide. There are several bait systems out there to choose from but Talpirid sets itself apart from the rest….backed with extensive testing proving that it is the most preferred food source for moles next to earthworms. Aloft is a two ingredient insecticide that not only eliminates grubs but will control surface feeders as well such as….ticks and fleas.

Remember Calcium Needs
Before Summer Months!

Second to the three most important nutrients…..nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium…….is Calcium. Calcium is the most neglected nutrient for plants. Calcium is needed to aid in summer time stress……it builds the cell walls for an increased resistance to disease and drought. Solu-Cal is recommended over regular calcitic limes largely due to the carboxy organic acid contained in Solu-Cal. Carboxy acid with calcium becomes instantly available whereas a regular lime could take 6 months to 2 years before soluble to plants. One – 50lb bag of Solu-Cal replaces five – 40lb bags of lime.
