Lime Yard, by Turf Touch

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

Winter’s a good time of year to lime yard, even though lime can be applied any time of year.

Lime will add cal­cium and mag­ne­sium, and it will neu­tral­ize acid, which is caused by tree, shrubs, fer­til­iz­ers, soil types and other issues.

Lime will cre­ate a healthy root base.

Lime must be applied heav­ily, one or two bags will not do, apply ten to fif­teen bags(40–50# bags) on an aver­age 10,000 sq. ft. lawn.

One Caveat: DO NOT apply lime to CENTIPEDE lawns.

Turf Touch will be glad to do this ser­vice for you, if you so desire.

Until we meet, keep your lawn green.

Fungicide Treatments

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

The summer’s nice and long awaited, yet the high humid­ity brings with it many things; bugs, fun­gus and other annoy­ing things.

Brown patch fun­gus will start around late April to early May, and one must spray fungi­cide in order to con­trol fun­gus. The ear­lier, the bet­ter; for the treat­ments will usu­ally arrest the fun­gus, not erad­i­cate it.

Fun­gus sea­son in the South will per­sist until around mid-August, when the humid­ity tapers.

Other tips, keep mower blade sharp, bag or mulch all clip­pings and water in morn­ings dur­ing sum­mer months.
