SPRING Fertilization,
Preventative Pre-emergent herbicides (Dursban, Diazinon) weeds (i.e.
dallisgrass, broadleaf weeds) and insect controls (i.e. grubworms) sharpen
lawnmower blades,, and observer stress areas. Aeration for certain turfgrasses
may be necessary to ensure proper growth.
SUMMER Watch for insect damage
(primarily chinch bugs , army worms, and grub worms). Water properly, fertilize
lightly, and be sure to raise your mower height in the heat of the summer. The
appearance of most fungi will be a rarity as it is generally to hot for them to
take hold.
FALL Winter fertilization, any preventative preemergent herbicides for
weeds, and preemergent fungicides for the prevention of fungi. Watering will
depend on rain fall. In the event of extreme freeze during the winter time make
sure to water all plants, shrubs, trees, and grass - well before the
freeze. |
