Getting rid of fleas can be a daunting task even when done properly. Success will always depend on your chosen methods and materials used.
Over wintering koi properly can keep your fish healthy year after year. Learn important tips that will help make the transition easier.
Wild onions and wild garlic are cool season perennial grass-like weeds. They stand out in lawns, because they grow faster than the surrounding grass and are difficult to control.
Understanding the basic biology of grass seed germination will reinforce your knowledge of planting a lawn and help answer the “Why is it done this way?” line of questions.
Humic acid is one of the most important components of organic matter. It is a bio-stimulant that benefits plants including stimulating root growth and increase photosynthesis.
Spring is on its way and it is time to start spraying Agri-Gro’s Liquid Calcium.
Agri-Gro’s Liquid Calcium provides immediately available calcium that plants can absorb and use. It also contains organic acids that breaks down unavailable calcium in the soil so it too can be used by plants.
University studies have shown that one gallon of liquid calcium was equivalent to 500 lbs of lime due to the organic acids that break down calcium in the soil.
At only $4.95 a gallon for agricultural use, you can’t beat agri-Gro’s Liquid Calcium. (The $4.95 price is for 55 gallons or more.)
So whether you are planting food plots for deer, growing hay or field crops, or orchards, you need to start planning now. For more information, please contact Lawn Care Academy. Our contact pages has all the information for reaching us.
If it is in the dead of winter and you are looking out across lawns or fields and see both green and tan grass, most likely it is showing two different categories of grasses.
Cool Season Grasses have the ability to stay green far into the winter. In mild winters, they may be green until spring. Why is this?
It is the genetic make-up of the plant. Even during the winter the roots may still be taking on nutrients. While the green tops may not be growing, there is still a lot going on inside the plant.
On the other hand, Warm Season Grasses will go dormant in the fall and turn brown. Very little is happening inside the plant. No amount of fertilizer will make dormant grass turn green in winter. The exception is St. Augustine Grass and others that grow so far south they never go dormant.
Where both Cool Season Grass and Warm Season Grasses are grown together you will see some green grass and some tan grass. On high quality sports fields and golf courses where two or more different species are grown, you can clearly see the different types.
The picture on the left shows where the greens are a cool season grass and the rough is a warm season grass. This makes the greens more playable and the sharp distinction leaves no question about where to place the ball.
Many southern home lawns will overseed warm season bermudagrass with cool season ryegrass so the lawn has some green color in winter.

Now is the time to check your mower and equipment to make sure it is running well. Most people don’t think about the mower until spring. If is doesn’t start or needs repair they call the shop. The problem is they are behind by several weeks by then.
To avoid the rush on getting it repaired, especially when grass is growing and needing cut, go out and check things over now.
If your mower is sluggish to start try placing a “Battery Tender” on it. It looks like a small electric charger, but it works differently. The Battery Tender doesn’t switch off when the battery is fully charged, but switches to “Float Mode”. As the cold starts to consume the battery’s power again, the battery tender switches back on. It can be left on all winter without harming the battery.
Make sure your gas has a stabilizer in it. I know it is already February and it should have been added by now, but it may be another two months before you are ready to mow. It is better now than to wait until spring.
Does your mower need new tires, belts or blades sharpened? Now is a good time to take care of it.
If anything looks like it is going to be a problem, you can fix it or bring it in to your mechanic to be fixed. Don’t wait until spring to find this out or you could have a long wait.
