In this video I give some of my personal tips to get your yard ready for summer. Very simple, mowing height, fertilizer choice and water. Very basic but the main keys to getting your yard prepped and through the heat of the summer.
We want to raise our height of cut up so that our grass blades have more surface area and are able to retain more moisture. Typically, the taller the grass blade, the deeper the roots.
We want a fertilizer with potassium. Potassium is going to help our grass handle the stress that comes with the heat and drought of summer. We are going with a lower rate of 1/3 to 1/2 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. We don't want too much nitrogen because we don't want to push a lot of top growth at this time.
Water! If you are choosing to water, get 1/2 inch of water on the lawn 2-3 times per week.
It's that simple.

Beginning of the season I put a quarter cup of Dawn in my sprayer attached to my hose & spray the grass. All water has minerals in it and over time that builds up and forms a crust in top of your soil. The Dawn breaks down the mineral crust and you will cut your watering needs dramatically.

2% Potassium is nothing. Not enough for summer heat stress. Golf turf manager typically applies Potash at 2 to 4 lbs per 1k for pre-stress management.

Glad I watched this, was getting ready to apply Milo in about a week or so, now may look for Lawn Restore instead. I thought phosphorus encouraged root growth though, potassium disease resistance?

Use both. I have for years and they compliment eachother beautiful a d ensures you get phos and pot as well as Iron. I don't use just one or the other anymore. You can throw them down together or just seperate them by a few weeks which is what I do now.

I use Lawn Restore as my summer go to also. It works wonderfully with Milo to get the potassium and phos all in the soil. My question is about the watering/keeping the ground moist the first few days of using Lawn Restore. Do you stick by that rule even in the summer? It's easier for me to do in the Spring and Fall but watering everyday in July for 3 days in a row is tough, do you always stick to that?
@TheLawnWhisperer
@TheLawnWhisperer 5 лет назад
I honestly dont. I definitely make sure it gets watered in with a half inch at least (hopefully with some rain help) but I don't personally water it for 3 days. I think it does just fine
