HOW IT WORKS

SISKIYOU BLUE is rich in NITROFORM brand of urea formaldehyde. This unique form of nitrogen is released to the grass as it is needed, by the action of soil micro-flora. During the wet winter months, the NITROFORM remains inert and insoluble in the soil. In this dormant state, it will not wash away with rain or irrigation, unlike most budget-priced fertilizers. The release of this special product is tied directly to the growth of the grass. When it's dormant, so is the NITROFORM. Regular use of Siskiyou Blue builds up a reserve of nitrogen in the soil to feed the grass when it's needed most.

Siskiyou BLUE's formulation is based on years of soil testing in the Rogue Valley, and on extensive University research. The high level of Iron enhances chlorophyll production without promoting soft and excessive top growth.

Siskiyou BLUE contains enough quick-release nitrogen to give your lawn a rapid green-up. The key to its success is its generous share of costly NITROFORM slow-release. It isn't a "quick fix," rather, its true benefit is realized with continued use, thereby building deep reserves of soil fertility and improved tilth.

This product will stain concrete: clean up any spills promptly! Avoid breathing dust. Wash your hands after handling. This fertilizer is about twice as heavy as coffee, so for easy measure, use an empty coffee can.

Basic Lawn Care:

Water!

deeply & infrequently. Once every 5-7 days is plenty. Water long enough to wet the soil down to 4 - 6." Never water every day. Water in the morning so the grass is dry at sundown...

Mow!

regularly; at least once a week during the season. Try not to take off more than 1/3 of the bladeÕs top length. Most Rogue Valley lawns should be cut at 1-1/2Ó to 2", never shorter...

Control weeds!

by proper watering and mowing. If you need to use herbicides, use them before the weeds get out of hand, and only when the grass is growing actively...

Fertilize!

by the schedule. Don't wait till the grass looks pale. Keep it growing at a steady rate...

Dethatch and aerate!

once a year, in the fall or spring... Where to buy Siskiyou Blue:
