It’s COLD outside! And our Lawns are definitely starting to Feel it!
In this video, I will how you how to keep your lawn as healthy as possible by preparing it for the winter. This process is known as winterizing your lawn and it only requires a few simple steps. Winterizing your lawn will ensure you have a healthy green lawn come the spring time.
The 1st step to winterizing your lawn is to fertilize it one last time before the winter. By fertilizing grass in fall, you’re feeding the roots and giving them nutrients to store for winter. Many sources say to apply a heavy fertilizer application of 1 lb of nitrogen per 1ksft at the end of the season but research has shown that nitrogen uptake is much lower at the end of the season. My recommendation is to apply one last light application of FAST RELEASE fertilizer. If you are using a liquid lawn fertilizer i recommend a quarter pound of Nitrogen per thousand sqft and if your using a granular fertilizer i recommend applying between a quarter pound and half pound of nitrogen per thousand sqft OR 1/3 the bag rate.
The 2nd step to wintering your lawn is to control the broadleaf weeds. When you're getting the lawn ready for the harsh winter weather, you want to control the weeds as much as possible because weeds compete for nutrients with the rest of your lawn. The most common weeds that are attacking our lawns now are broadleaf weeds such as dandelions, thistle and chickweed. Broadleaf weeds are vulnerable right now because they send energy down to roots and applying a herbicide now will kill the crown of the plant reducing the amount of energy that can be stored in the roots over winter.
The 3rd step to winterizing your lawn is to mow your lawn lower than usual. Mowing your lawn low right before winter will help it healthy throughout the colder months and prevent it from matting down and holding moisture. If you dont keep the lawn short before winter it can develop snow mold.
Contest open to everyone in the continental US.
