What Your Lawn Needs Right Now
Kentucky Bluegrass Seeding: Closing Window
Mid-September is the cutoff. Bluegrass is the slowest grass to germinate and establish, so if bare or thin bluegrass areas haven’t been overseeded yet, this is the call — miss it and you’re waiting for spring.
Tall Fescue & Fine Fescue: Still Time
Tall Turf-Type Fescue & Fine Fescue: Still Time
Not locked out yet. These establish faster and tolerate cooler soil better than bluegrass, so there’s still a window to overseed with a tall fescue or fine fescue blend before the ground shuts down for the year.
Fall Nitrogen: Soil Temps Are Right
Fall Nitrogen: Soil Temps Are In The Zone
Soil temps have dropped into the root-building range. Feed now and that nitrogen goes into roots and stored energy instead of leaf growth you’d just mow off — which means a lawn that comes out of winter thicker, greens up faster, and crowds out weeds before they get a foothold.
