February 1, 2002, Newsletter Issue #32: Early Season Lawn Care
Tip of the Week
Turf diseases can usually be traced to one of four causes--improper watering, poor drainage, improper mowing and over-fertilization. If you overstimulate the grass with too much Nitrogen, you will eventually cause thatch problems, and thatch is a prime habitat for the fungi that feed on decaying organic material. Thatch also forms a hydrophobic layer that interferes with the transfer of moisture and nutrients. Fertilize at the right time of the year for your grass, using complete fertilizers that satisfy the nutrient needs of the grass. Donīt push your lawn, or it might push back.
