Dull mower blade may hurt lawns and tips for care
A county extension writer notes that poor lawns come from mowing too short or with dull blades, not disease. He advises mowing heights from now through August, sharp blades, and regular cuts. Additional field notes cover new 10 acre vegetable irrigation trials near DeSoto and varieties of potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower to watch. He warns about oriental fruit moth damage to peaches and cedar rust, with timing and spray guidance, and gives pruning tips for raspberries and blackberries to boost fruiting areas.
