Friday

tip-o-day

Are you thinking about your lawn yet?
Well, start now.
Do you have barespots that need seeding? If you didn’t get a chance to overseed in the fall - go ahead and toss down some seed now (if your snow has melted). The freezing and thawing allows for a natural seedbed. In the spring, as the ground thaws the soil will actually open up into small fissures allowing in air and nutrients. The seed you toss out now onto frozen grass will drop right down in.
And don't worry about more snow - that's even better! The snow will help pack the seed down under the soil, and snow is naturally nitrogen rich. Seed will germinate in spring when soil warms to proper germination temperature.
What’s easier than that?
