It has been a brutal summer for those of us with lawns and no irrigation systems.  The heat and lack of rain for 8 weeks made brown lawns and dirt patches the norm.  So what do you do now?

Well, the good news is that Fall is the best time to fix your lawn.  Getting some root growth before the first frost and then letting the lawn “sleep” all winter will make for spectacular results next spring.

The key to growing grass is water…..and more water and more water.   Last year, on the advise of an Organic Landscape Company, I topdressed my lawn with Earl’s Organic Compost.  It worked wonders.  Our Super Loam is another terrific alternative.  Earl’s Organic Compost is unique in that it retains moisture much better than loam does.  Thus, when growing a lawn, where moisture is needed 24/7, Earl’s Organic Compost is a great option.  I strongly suggest it.

Just spread the Earl’s Organic Compost on the top of your existing lawn or in the bare spots and then spread the seed.  Water the lawn at least once per day.  The grass should begin growing within a few days and thicken over the next 10 days.

Earl’s Organic Compost is truly a great product.

While the weather may be oppressively hot, we are still making and shipping mulch every day.   Earlier this week, we shipped 65 yards to a happy customer on Summer Street in Norwell.  Mulching is very important especially in summers like this where there is little rain.  Mulch helps to lock the in the moisture around your plants.  So, if you have not mulched yet this year, it is not too late!

While we continue to manufacture mulch every day, we are also splitting firewood as well.  At Go Green, we try to stay at least 6 months ahead of every season.  This means that we are thinking about mulch in October and firewood in May.  We will have a huge supply of  seasoned and kiln dried firewood this fall so give us a call.

Go Green is very thankful to all of the landscapers and professionals who have made the switch to Go Green from our competitors.  We are proud to be the largest manufacturer of mulch and soil amendments in Scituate and the ONLY landscape supply company in Hanover.  We certainly could not do it without the loyalty and trust of all of the professional landscapers.   If you look around at the dump trucks that you see at job sites, beautifying the homes in your town, you can feel confident that nearly all of them are getting their products from Go Green!  Again, thanks to all of you.  Landscapers move a lot of product and are a very important part of our business.

Lastly, we are proud to say that we generated more revenue in June 2010 than any other June since I started in this business nearly a decade ago.  Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of our retail customers.  Your loyalty and interest in our products has been fantastic and fills us with pride.

We can’t say thank you enough,

Well, it is Friday April 30th around 10pm and I am just shutting down for the evening. We already have over 200 deliveries to make tomorrow and nearly 300 yards of Organic Dark Mulch to ship out.  We spent the better part of today making product to be sure that we can fulfill the orders, and I will be back at 167 Driftway tomorrow at 5am to begin preparing for the deliveries.

All of us at Go Green! are thrilled at the response to our flyers. Although times are still tough, our loyal customers continue to step up and beautify their yards. I was talking to my dad tonight and we both agree that we have never seen so many orders of 8, 10, 12 and even 14+ yards of mulch before. One gentleman even ordered 46 yards of Hemlock for his house today!!

Thanks to all! We will be on time tomorrow and you will not be disappointed!
