The cold weather is here and the leaves have already begun to
fall. Don’t leave your lawn in bad shape
heading into winter. Instead, consider setting it up for ample and healthy
growth in the spring. The cold air prevents growth of any lawn items above
ground, but things can be done to improve the health of it for spring by
indirectly taking care of that which lies below ground. The effects of the cold
are buffered by allowing the moisture trapped within the soil and below the
surface to enhance the strengthening of roots, a gift from Mother Nature that
gives a head start of sorts that allows you to prepare for next growing
season.
The landscaping
at your Strasburg or otherwise nearby home calls for adequate
mid-fall care. Here at Root’s Nurseries we care about local landscaping and will
be sharing a few suggestions that will help you enhance the growth of your
spring lawn and garden by making some simple efforts now:
·
Get rid of dead items from any and all
areas of your lawn and landscaping. Should the fall yield an excessive amount
of heavy leaf cover, simply rake and remove. Loosing your lawn of dead material
will enable otherwise blocked sunlight to reach your grass or landscaping.
·
Get some high-phosphorous fertilizer
mix and apply generously to your lawn. Utilizing this sort of fertilizer will
encourage the growth of roots that will allow for green turf emergence earlier
in the Spring than it otherwise would begin to sprout.
·
Enjoy, celebrate the final lawn mowing session
of 2016! This particular mow will allow for you to drop those blades and cut a
bit shorter that you otherwise would.
·
Place the gathered leaves in an area
where they will decompose naturally. This “waste” will become compost that you
can use next year as a fertilizer for your lawn. Compost is amongst the
greatest of all natural fertilizers in existence and you can easily you’re your
landscaping waste into this.
·
Once your fall lawn and landscaping
maintenance is complete, rest easy feeling satisfied over a job well done. The
spring will yield a much healthier lawn and landscaping as a result.
