What a strange last couple of
weeks. Summer finally arrived in full force after being mostly absent in early/mid
August. The deep, soaking rains have kept lawns looking healthy for the most
part. Insects and Nutsedge have had a revival…very strange in deed.
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:
*Follow the detailed Fall Cool Season Renovation
instructions. Or attend my class at the Gardens on September 17th
from 6-8pm.
*If you are renting equipment, call early in the week
to make a reservation.
*It’s a great time to sod too!
*Sharpen you blade while you
are waiting for the seed to grow!
Fall fertilizer applications,
after care and weed controls will be on deck.
Remember folks, its just
grass! God bless you.
