Tony Koski, Ph.D. Extension Turf Specialist and Professor – Colorado State University, gives us this advice on lawn care:
- Proper watering can promote a deeply rooted, healthier turf.
- Let grass species and health, soil conditions, and weather conditions dictate irrigation practices, not the number of days between waterings.
- Mow bluegrass, ryegrass, fescue and wheatgrass to a height of 2 to 3 inches. Buffalo-grass and blue grama lawns can be mowed to this height, but also do well unmowed.
- Core cultivation is essential for all lawn areas, especially those that are thatchy or subject to high traffic.
Here's the whole fact sheet!
