Today Paul Stoltzfus and I braved intense rain and lightning to find a few (semi) dry moments to catch up on Fall lawn challenges. Paul is the owner of Wisegrass, a top Lancaster County lawn care operation and now he's selling his premium lawn care products online at http://www.wisegrassworld.com. Here's what Paul had to say about the next couple of months and caring for your lawn:
There are a few things to keep in mind for your lawn that will go a long way in making your grass much healthier.
Keep your lawn mowed consistently at 3 or 3 1/2 inches and do not cut more then one third of the length at one time. If the ground is very wet be careful when turning your lawn mower because it can easily rip up your grass. Fall is an excellent time to overseed because we get more rain and the temperatures are much cooler and favorable to grow seedlings. Also seeding in the fall gives grass plants the rest of the fall and next spring to establish a robust root system before next next summer beats on them. Use an aerator and slice slider when overseeding for best seed to soil contact. Broadcasting the seed on top of the lawn is pretty much a waste unless you can time it just before a snow storm! Check out Paul's DIY website with ideas and products dedicated to residential lawns at WiseGrassWorld.com or hire him to take care of it all at http://www.WiseGrass.com.
BTW, here's the link to my last show with Paul WAAAY back when snow was on the ground... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imEJ9qSNTpQ
