Historic Lime Spring Farm offers a spectacular setting for special events. Nestled on a 120 acre farm just south off Marietta Pike where it crosses US Rt30.
The Lancaster Chamber of Commerce & Industry will host their July mixer at the farm. WiseGrass is sponsoring the water bottles and taking lots of pictures and video of guests having a great time!
Balanced pH is the first key to unlock everything else you do for your lawn. It is often thrown in as an after thought, if not ignored completely. Soil ph contributes to turf grass health by controlling the availability of nutrients, thatch breakdown, and the success of weed controls.
Kentucky Bluegrass and perennial ryegrass prefer a pH between 6.5 and 7.2. Turf type tall fescue thrives at 6.0 to 6.5. Fescues are usually used in shade or soil with less organic matter.
Last fall I talked about cutting your grass one more time after it has gone dormant. It is a good idea to drop your cutting deck a bit, just don’t cut shorter than 2”.
In the video we take a look at what happens to grass under snow and ice. Field mice find their way under the ice and sometimes create an entire subway system much like voles do under turf. I don’t worry much about field mice damage. Snow mold is much more of a problem.
