June Lawn Tips

If you are planning to install a new seed lawn, June is the time to do it. Don't wait until October. The longer you can have the lawn rooting and maturing, the better it  will do through winter.

June is a good time to apply your second fertilization. However, only if you have an irrigation system. If   there is no water, there will be no microbial activity, therefore no growth. Unless, of course we get lots of rain until next spring. (Hopefully not!)

There is no need to apply lime until fall. Lime requires copious amounts of water to work itself into the clays we have here. An irrigation system just will not make the grade for this. Two applications per year both during the rainy season; spring and fall.
