 Water, water - when and where This Midwest lawn has received no supplemental watering in the last 32 years. With proper fertilization and mowing it has survived drought, traffic and winters. © Steve Trusty Following watering basics will nurture the plants you’d hoped for while conserving an essential commodity. Monitor your plantings to determine how much supplemental water, if any, is needed. Summer care for a healthy lawn The best way to handle the occasional dandelion or other weed that crops up in the yard is to dig it out by the roots or spot treat with a broadleaf weed killer. © Seve Trusty A healthy lawn is a 24/7 filter for dirt, dust and impurities from the air. Like all plants it absorbs carbon dioxide and releases life giving-oxygen. These steps will assure your lawn has what it needs to provide those benefits this summer. Spots on leaves signal disease Powdery Mildew is one disease that can be a problem on lawns and certain ornamental plants. © Steve Trusty The spots before your eyes on your prize plants can be a concern. Proper diagnosis, and treatment, if necessary will give you peace of mind if steps are taken as warranted. Smoothing out holes and dips in the yard This hole caused by a mole’s run falling in can be filled with a couple of hands full of soil. With the lush growth of grass, this area will be smoothed out and filled in very quickly. © Steve Trusty Have you noticed the mower taking a few bounces as you go over the lawn? Steps can be taken to smooth out your travels across the yard. Monthly Lawn Care Checklists |
