Fall is California's remarkable "Second Planting Season"

Now is an ideal time to plant Trees, Shrubs, Groundcovers, Bulbs, and Lawns. The soil is still warm enough to promote strong,rapid root growth, and cooling fall temperatures are less stressful to new transplants, than Hot summer weather.

By next Spring, plants will have well developed root systems,enabling them to put on a substantial amount of growth and truly"SPRING AHEAD".



Just remember to use a good starter Fertilizer Like DR.Earth Organic 2 Starter, and keep the soil moist around new plantings until fall rains arrive.

 

Is Bermuda Grass a Pest?

Fescue lawns are lush, green and inviting year-round. They can be stressed by the hot summers and may need a bit of attention at this time. This is a cool season grass and starts to take on more vigor as the nights cool. Pump up your lawn by applying a balanced fertilizer such as DR. Earth Super Natural Lawn Food.

If brown patches have appeared in the summer, now is the time to reseed.

- Simply rake out the dry, brown areas.

- Sprinkle the seed and cover with 1/8” to ¼” of compost. Keep the top 1” to 2” of soil moist by watering frequently (3 to 4 times per day) but only for 3 to 5 minutes.
Do not water in the evening after 5pm so the lawn will go to bed dry and not encourage fungus growth.

If Bermuda grass has invaded the lawn, now is the last opportunity until next spring to spray Monterey Turflon to kill the Bermuda grass without injuring the Fescue lawn.
