September things to do…
What a strange last couple of
weeks. Summer finally arrives in full force after being mostly absent all July
and early August. The deep, soaking rains have kept lawns looking healthy for
the most part. Diseases and insects have had a revival…very strange in deed.
Last month I prepared you for
aerating and over seeding the cool season lawns so I hope you are ready?!?
The next couple of weeks are
the ideal time to renovate your cool season lawns!
Things to do this month:
WARM SEASON LAWNS:
*NO MORE FERTILIZERS ON
ZOYSIA!!! Let them go to sleep naturally.
*Stop watering with
irrigation in the next couple of weeks.
*Let it grow up to 2-3 inches
in preparation for winter.
*Spot spray weeds as needed.
*Apply preventative
fungicides September AND October 15th. Headway is the best product
and should also be used April 15th.
*Remove leaves if they
accumulate over 1-2 inches
COOL SEASON LAWNS:
*Reread last months post for detailed Step-By-Step
Renovation instructions.
Or attend my class at Missouri Botanical Garden
*If you are renting
equipment, call early in the week to make a reservation.
*It’s a great time to sod!
*Sharpen you blade while you
are waiting for the seed to grow!
Fall fertilizer applications
and weed controls will be on deck. Come on back next month for those details.
Good luck all of those who are in fantasy football leagues and or “pick-em”
leagues. I’m drafting 12th tonight!
Finally, if you ever want a
really quite and relaxing weekend, consider a “White House Retreat”. I attended
my first one a couple of weeks ago and I’m planning for another one next year.
Remember folks, it’s just
grass!
