• You can go about that by testing your soil with a kit and then researching what type of brands are suitable for your home.
• All these steps are optional, but you may find out that weed killers aren’t necessary for your specific type of soil or that you have a particular kind of soil that works best with certain fertilizers.
  • Supply List: Soil testing kit (optional)

Step 2 – Applying as Necessary

• Once you feel comfortable about what type of fertilizer or weed killer you’ve chosen, you can start applying it as the directions specifically state.
