First and foremost, please take some time this weekend to pay tribute to those proud and loyal Americans that have served in our country’s Armed Forces. Of special significance are those that served and died to preserve the lifestyle we hold so dear....that of liberty and justice for all. There is no greater honor. Here are three tips to ensure your lawns survive the summer months and look great this fall. * Thirst Quenching - Signs of a dehydrated lawn include curling grass blades and "foot printing" (you can see footprints in the grass). During short droughts, water infrequently, but deeply, to encourage a strong, deep root system. * Restricted - Can't water the lawn? If your city or town imposes water restrictions there are solutions. If the grass is still growing, mow on the high side to encourage roots to go deeper. During sever water shortages, it's okay to let your lawn go dormant. Lawns can adapt and survive a few months of no water. * Don't Fertilize - Your lawn may look brown and hungry, but fertilizing may actually damage it. If the lawn is dormant because of a drought there is no need to feed it as doing so could burn the grass. When in doubt, wait till the Fall when feeding is most important.
