FAQs:
What is Lawnbright Black Gold? How does Black Gold work?
Black Gold is a soil conditioner that is designed to help lawns recover from stress like heat or drought. It conditions the soil, supports root function, and aids in nutrient uptake. The humic acid in Black Gold improves soil structure by enhancing water retention, increasing soil microbial activity and helping roots access nutrients more effectively.
Black Gold does not focus on fast leaf growth, but rather strengthens the lawn’s ability to thrive under less-than-ideal conditions. Because it improves nutrient uptake, Black Gold helps to make any additional fertilizer or other care more effective.
When would I use Black Gold?
Use Black Gold when your lawn is under a period of stress, such as mid-summer during heat and drought. Black Gold is part of our Lawnbright custom plan, so if your lawn needs it you will likely receive it in a shipment.
Will I see immediate results on my lawn with Black Gold?
Black Gold is a soil conditioner, not a fertilizer with nitrogen, so you won’t see an instant green-up. However, your soil will be healthier, fertilizer you do apply will be more effective, and your lawn will bounce back better when growing conditions improve.
How much of my lawn will Black Gold cover?
Each bottle covers about 3,000 sq ft. If you’re not sure of our lawn size, try Lawnbright’s handy Lawn Size Calculator.
Is Black Gold safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. All of our products, including Green Machine, are made from natural ingredients and no harsh chemicals. This means that they are safe for your kids and pets, as well as better for the earth and your grass.
Is Black Gold part of my custom lawn plan?
Each of our custom lawn plans receives a distinct mix of products depending on your lawn’s needs and your soil test. So, you may receive Black Gold as part of your plan, in which case you will receive specific instructions for timing and use.
