Final notes for cool season turf care:
*Last mowing should be at 2 to 2 ½ inches
*It’s not too late to “winterize” the lawn with high nitrogen, slow release fertilizers
*It’s also not too late to spot spray broadleaf weeds with “Ester” formula herbicides. You can spray as long the air temperatures are 40 or above. Henbit and Chickweed are very aggressive right now!
*Continue to remove leaves as best you can, but especially on newly seeded lawns
*Mulching leaves is OK, but only if you don’t suffocate the turf
*Soil testing is suggested for problem lawns. Correcting the Ph and nutrient deficiencies is best to do over the winter
*Drain the gas, turn off the value or put fuel stabilizer in your power equipment
*Finally, tell your loved you love them again…they can’t hear enough and we can’t say it enough.
Thank you and I hope you have safe and Happy Holidays,
