Lawn Watering and Mowing in the Dead of Summer

Monday August 14, 2006
Many homeowners have seen their bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and fine fescue turn brown from the heat this summer. But Steve Jones, the Plant Man, has some encouraging words when he says, "I want to emphasize that the brown color is an indication that the grass has gone dormant. This is nature's way of conserving energy until such times as the grass can renew its growth in the cycle of life. Dormant and dead are not the same thing." Read the full article to learn Steve's tips on lawn watering and mowing in the dead of summer.
