Green Calendar for May 2025

By : Davide - Categories : Lawn care Rss feed
May is the month for preparing your lawn to best withstand and overcome summer stress. It's important to act early to avoid difficulties arising with the first hot summer days.

First, it's necessary to schedule a few treatments to limit the growth of broadleaf weeds and then apply active anti-germ ingredients to prevent the growth of summer weeds. We recommend using these products in combination with Bottos' Always and Pre-Stress biostimulants, which enhance their effectiveness against weeds and protect the lawn from any residual phytotoxicity.

Then, towards the end of the month and until the first half of June, it's time to apply potassium fertilization, which will prepare the lawn for the high temperatures to come. For late sowing, using treated seeds is recommended.
