Greetings!

It's the third full week of July and with the Summer heat we're experiencing, lawns all over the Treasure Valley are starting to crash. A quick trip to Zamzows followed by a quick 20 minutes on your lawn, can quickly solve that problem! This time of year, we recommend an application of Zamzows HumaGreen. It's all natural and restores vital trace minerals that have been depleted by summer heat. Plus, HumaGreen is rich in carbon. In fact, one 50 pound bag is equivalent to two-thousand pounds of compost and supplies enough concentrated humus that it can cut your water-use in half!
 
Unlike chemical fertilizers, HumaGreen actually improves your soil. It increases your lawns water-holding capacity without excessive growth. So you get a lush green lawn, even in the heat of Summer!
