You know the secret to getting that beautiful lawn is dormant seeding in the winter when the lawn goes dormant and the ground is frozen. Just one thing you still have to make soil to soil contact

so the secret is to go around your house now and work the soil now where its bare.

Yes now in November before the ground gets frozen work in the soil rough it up a bt and fill in any soil

if you need to. Also now is also a good time to buy your compost before it sells out. Remember

you have to do these things before the grounds gets frozen when the ground is frozen you wont be able to work in the soil. You also wont be able to cover up or mulch your new seed with compost if you wait until January to buy your compost. So go out and buy your compost now.

How to sow seed for cool season grass

How to plant grass seed I get this question all the time so i figured id share my expertise on this .The bottom line is nothing will happen unless you prepare the seed bed. I see a lot of people throw seed on the ground and nothing happens and they wonder why! Or they prepare the seed bed then dont cover the seed with soil or add fertilizer or mulch the area you have to do all the steps or else your lawn will look like this after 2 weeks. Notice how only 60% of the grass seed germinated here? its because someone did not prepare the seed bed correctly so always prepare the seed bed so you wont have to water the grass for another 2 weeks then run out and order more grass seed. #1 Prepare the seedbed - Remove any debris-leaves-twigs-weeds-bring in top soil if you need it. Work in some peatmoss and or top soil to your soil with garden rake.Aerate.Throw down some starter fertilizer. it really does not matter if you put the seed down first or starter fertilizer as long as you ha

The grass is greener on the other side

It is greener on the other side You know that saying! dont you ??? It does hold some truth. Believe it or not but today during the heat wave we are having, I must have seen close to 50 people cutting there grass in the heat ,in the sun close to 90 to 95 degrees. And tomorrow its supposed to be 95 as the high and im sure I will see more people cutting there grass. I know its weird in a way. You see the thing is cutting your grass in a heat wave or anything close to 90 degrees is the last thing youd want to do. Actually you would be doing more harm than good as it would be restricting the grass plants from being able to produce energy to grow.And would turn a your lawn a bit spotty and yellowish brown. So the best thing to do is to cut the lawn at night if rain is in the forecast the next day or just wait a week to 10 days until the heat wave is over. My neighbors want that golf putting green look I do not know what the fascination is with the putting green
