BARL ARONSON reports on optimistic notes for future lawn care from turf experts. They foresee progress in crabgrass control, with pre-emergent methods and better seed choices, yet concede complete eradication remains unlikely and mowing dynamics will adapt with evolving chemistry.
Power mowers ease lawn care but home owners must follow rules to keep grass healthy and attractive. Do not cut more than half to one inch per session to avoid exposing bare stalks and brown leaves. Cut all grass no lower than one and a half to two inches, with closer cuts for bent grass and bluegrass thriving when mowed roughly two inches high. In hot mid summer, keep to three inches and mow about every five to seven days in spring and early fall, slowing during July and August when growth slows.
The article advises checking newly planted trees for growth after last fall. It covers root exposure repair, straightening with guy wires, protecting bark with wrap, winter damage from snow and ice, and proper labeling techniques with durable tags or copper brads to allow growth. It also includes a kitchen tip about preserving leftover pimientos by sealing them with saltwater and using them in a salad.
