Mature Lawn Can Use Help For Aging Grass Health
Many lawns age with time and disease susceptibility rises after the second year. Proper irrigation is key to prevention, with deeper, slower watering to reach six to eight inches. Soil type dictates frequency, while hoses and vinyl sprinkler soakers expand coverage.
Mixed lawnseed blends favored by turf experts
Experts advise blending several bluegrasses or fescues in lawnseed. If conditions favor one variety, others may still thrive. A disease strike on one grass often finds others resistant. Fine-textured blends aid turf not professionally tended.
Bromeliads Indoors Bloom Like Sky-High Wonders
A feature on bromeliads describes their tree borne, air fed growth high above ground. Jim Vosters and Alfred Byrd Graf discuss diverse species, care needs, indoor resilience and the pineapple as a terrestrial bromeliad.
Scalp Your Lawn In Early Spring
The one time of the year that a scalping an especially low mowing is permissible with bluegrass lawns is in late winter or early spring to remove winter scorched foliage. New growth will not be injured. Sunlight reaches more deeply into the sod warming it for earlier green up. Also with the old foliage gone fresh shoots are more visible.
