Leaf Clean Up

Late October is, as always, the heart of the war between the green staff and the leaves.  The main thrust of our efforts will certainly be on leaf cleanup during the next month or so.  Our fall fertilizer applications will begin this week and continue until mid-November.  Mid to late autumn is the best time to apply fertilizer, in the proper amounts, to turfgrass as the nutrients are directed to root growth and energy storage for next year.  The same fertilizer applications, if applied from mid spring through the summer, would result in the nutrients being directed to undesirably rapid grass growth at the expense of the roots and energy storage.
