Checklist For Your Lawn
Clean up. Rake up leaves, branches and other debris that can suffocate grass plants.
Mow as soon as possible. As soon as the weather permits, set the mower one notch lower than normal
and mow the lawn. This lets more light in to trigger early green-up.
Fertilize. The sooner
you can fertilize, the better. Try not to use a fertilizer with a lot of nitrogen, a
balanced fertilizer will be more useful to the grass plants and will help to reduce
excessive top growth. Fertilizers that contain a small percentage of the mineral iron
will promote a darker green.
Prevent Crabgrass. If
crabgrass has been a problem, you can prevent it at the same time you fertilize. You
control crabgrass by preventing it from sprouting. Look for a fertilizer that contains a
crabgrass pre-emergent (such as Dimension). Remember, to attack crabgrass during its
germination period
