Thank you for the great feedback! Sorry for the late response. Answers to your two questions:
- Why did we send you 5 bottles when you were only able to apply 4?
Some seasons are in theory (agronomy) long enough to apply 5 bottles; we sent 5 bottles to customers in those longer seasons. We have learned from customers this year that 4 bottles is actually enough for all climates. So next season the annual replenishment kits will contain 4 bottles (and be priced as such). We’ll be notifying customers about this change soon.
There are some options for your extra bottle from this year:
- If you are still mowing, left over bottles can be applied now to strengthen your roots for the winter.
- If your season is over, you can use your extra bottle(s) at the start of next season. You can change the next shipment date in-ap.
Additionally, a booster replenishment will be offered next year for customers who found that they do need more than four bottles. We’re overhauling the in-app experience to make controlling your subscription much simpler and easier next year.
- Do you need to fertilize for fall?
The short answer is no. We’ve been sampling lawns nationwide all season and the data confirms the science that Lawn Champion is based on, which is that a regenerative microbiome fed with microalgae, is nutritionally self-sustaining.
The long answer is maybe. If you have been seeing very general lawn health issues that are unrelated to irrigation, heat stress, or disease, then you could perform plant tissue and soil nutritional testing (We use Waters Agricultural Labs for our testing). If that testing shows that both are depleted, then your lawn might need a boost. This does not sound like your case. Stay tuned for some innovations next year to address this kind of problem.
