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.
