Why Lawn Programs Fail: Nature Doesn’t Follow Calendars

Описание: Most lawn and landscape programs fail for one simple reason:

They follow calendars instead of nature.

In this episode of the Soil Talks™ Podcast, Brandon Kail of Rocky Mountain BioAg® sits down with Rob Gaunt to unpack one of the most misunderstood truths in modern turf and tree care:

👉 Soil responds to biological cues, not scheduled applications.

From freeze thaw cycles and soil temperatures to microbial feeding windows, this conversation explains why watching what’s happening outside your window matters more than any date on a treatment plan.

You’ll learn:

Why calendar-based lawn programs break down long-term

How soil biology responds year-round even in winter

When it is and isn’t appropriate to apply inputs

How observing nature can reduce herbicides by up to 75%

Why “there’s no lawn care in winter… but there is soil care”

This episode is foundational for homeowners, turf professionals, arborists, and anyone trying to reduce inputs while improving long-term results.

We’re not treating grass. We’re treating soil.

📌 Watch until the end to understand how feeding soil biology before spring changes everything.
