Lawn Care Tips for Winter and Frequently Asked Questions About Grass Farming
In this episode, Michael from Houston Grass discusses seasonal lawn care and answers common questions about grass farming. Towards the end of November, he recommends keeping grass longer to protect it from frost and maintaining mowing height at around three and a half inches. Issues with brown patch are expected due to warmer days and cool nights, and he suggests that irrigation systems be turned off during this time to save on water bills. Fertilizing is also not recommended until ground temperature exceeds 70 degrees, likely in late February or March. Questions about grass farming include how to prevent field erosion and maintain lush and dense grass as well as weed prevention. The use of pre-emergents, frequent mowing, and irrigation is common. Chemicals unavailable to homeowners are also used when necessary to address weed problems.
