Fall Lawns from page 43

lawns. That means homeowners
must bring soil samples to an area
nursery. Any fertilizer should have
low- or no-phosphorous content.
When you fertilize your lawn in
fall, you should fertilize once only,
between September and mid-
October.
Lawns with too much acidity can
be improved by applying lime. To
reduce alkaline needs, apply sul-
phur, she says.
Organic fertilizers are less con-
centrated and have longer lasting
benefits because they gradually
release nutrients. They offer an
additional benefit of recycling
waste that would otherwise con-
tribute to pollution.
Synthetic fertilizers are more
concentrated, making it easier
to over-fertilize. This can lead to
burning plants and harming soil
organisms. They also tend to be
more water-soluble, leaching out of
the soil faster and potentially pol-
luting water resources.

Seeding Tips
Over-seeding, or reseeding, is the
process of spreading new grass
seed over your entire lawn to help it
remain thick and dense while slow-
ing aging. It is exhaustive, but vital
work since lawns develop bare spots
and grass reproduction slows and
thins after a few years, creating an
ideal atmosphere for weed growth.
Lincourt says reseeding works
best on bare or shady lawns and
should be done in the fall or spring.
He does a lot of hydro seeding for
shady lawns. The recommended
time to re-seed is from middle
August to middle September. You
can always do it in the spring, from
April 15 to May 15.
Weeding is obvious. You can
kill them with herbicides. They
should be applied twice in the fall,
separated by two weeks. You can
always weed the old fashioned way
— pulling them out of the ground
by hand. Make sure to get the entire
root.
Dethatching removes dead grass
clippings that can choke your
lawn, preventing it from getting
the appropriate water and nutri-
ents from rain, air and fertilizer.
Dethatching is strenuous exercise if
you perform the task by time-con-
suming raking. Raking machines
are alternatives to hand raking.
Aeration pulls plugs or cores

from the ground, opening small
holes to allow the lawn to take in
nutrients from rain, air and fertil-
izers.

Height Matters
Robert Kozlowski at the Cornell
University Cooperative Extension
says when using a lawn mower, set
the wheels at a proper height to save
you from having to rake or bag your
lawn clippings.
His rule of thumb is, "Mow when
your grass is dry and 3 inches to 31/2
inches tall. Never cut it shorter then 2
inches to 21/2 inches, or remove more
than one-third of the leaf surface at
any one mowing." Grass cut shorter
than 2-21/2 inches can kill the lawn.
Taller grass crowds out weeds
and promotes deeper roots, Singer
Chupa says. Deeper roots help
lawns survive drought. Specifically
in the Detroit area, you should cut
your grass one half inch shorter at
the end of October or beginning of
November than you normally do to
prevent snow mold.
The dry summer is creating some
autumnal problems. Grubs are
feeding on roots and can be elimi-
nated through irrigation, according
to Michigan State experts. They
say grubs should be dead before
reseeding.
Moths are a problem, too, as are
swallows that feast on the moths,
the MSU experts say.
Moths aren't actually the culprits;
it's their larvae. The damage looks
much like heat or drought stress,
according to MSU horticulturists.
The turf is thinned and just doesn't
seem to recover quickly despite the
cooler temperatures and rainfall.
