FAQs:
What is Lawnbright RootRx? How does RootRx work?
RootRx is a natural soil conditioner that helps strengthen roots and improve the turf’s resilience in the face of stress. It contains ingredients such as kelp, humic acid and molasses, which help improve root depth and function.
Sea kelp provides a variety of micronutrients and growth hormones to help with stress resistance. Molasses is a sugar source for soil microbes. A healthy microbial population helps decompose organic matter, cycle nutrients, improve soil structure, and help roots across nutrients. And humic acid helps improve soil water holding capacity, nutrient retention and helps root cells more efficiently absorb nutrients.
Will I see immediate results on my lawn with RootRx?
Lime Boost 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.
Why does a healthy root system matter?
Healthy roots that reach deep into the ground mean that your turf will be more resilient in the face of heat stress and drought. When the plant below the surface is healthy, it’s much easier to have greener, thicker grass.
How much of my lawn will RootRx cover?
Each bottle covers about 3,000 sq ft. If you’re not sure of your lawn size, try Lawnbright’s handy Lawn Size Calculator.
