What's inside

Pro tips included

• Never remove more than one third of the grass blade length in a single mowing session to prevent severe root shock.
• Water lawns deeply and infrequently early in the morning around 5:00 AM to reduce fungal disease risks and evaporation loss.
• Always measure soil temperature at a 4 inch depth at 9:00 AM rather than relying solely on air temperature for planting dates.
• Keep mower blades sharp by filing every 25 operating hours; dull blades tear grass and create entryway points for lawn diseases.
• Apply broadleaf post-emergent herbicides in mid-autumn when weeds actively transport nutrients down into root systems.
• Mulch leaves directly into the lawn during autumn to add valuable organic matter and carbon back into the root zone.
