Lawn Care

In winter kayaking, the most important thing you can prepare for is the chance you might fall into the water. Just the thought of it sends chills down my spine.

Winter is a great time for kayaking, but comes with risks. Those risks are far greater than any risk you may encounter in summer. No one plans to end up in the water, but you must plan for it just in case.

Just like in motorcycle riding. Ever wondered why we wear thick leather jackets? When I am on my Goldwing, the rule is you should “dress for the slide”. (Cycling term for falling off the bike when in motion) No, no one plans on it but you must dress for it. It is the same in winter kayaking.

The video below is showing three ways of dressing for winter kayaking and how they perform in water. Check it out. If you ever wondered what works best, well here it is.

It is now time to start preparing for the fall weather. It is the most important time of the year for cool season grasses. This is because 3/4 of the entire year’s nitrogen is taken on in the fall.

The “fall season” as far as grass is concerned begins when temps are mostly consistently in the 70’s to 80’s. However, you can start now preparing the soil and roots.

Pick up some Bountiful Harvest or Turf Formula and begin using it to promote rapid and extensive root growth.

Not only that, but it also increases beneficial microbes by the hundreds of billions that help keep diseases at bay as well as increasing organic matter, nutrients, while building better soil.

Don’t delay, start the process now.
