June - 2023 : Redefining Lawns: The Benefits and Sustainability of Functional Turfgrasses
The message is out there in a big way….we don’t need lawn everywhere! HOWEVER, functional lawn areas still perform a vital role in the urban landscape and provide many ecosystem services and benefits. Did you know, for example, that turfgrasses are incredible biofilters that keep stormwater (and soil) in place and remove polluting nutrients? Did you also know that there are low water use turfgrasses that do well in our region and have water requirements comparable to many recommended low water use plants?
This month, join us as Dr. Kelly Kopp, USU Extension Water Conservation and Turfgrass Specialist, answers your lawn management and irrigation questions like; When should I start watering? How much water should I apply? Do some lawns need more water than others? She’ll also pass along other water-saving tips and resources, like having a free Water Check performed or participating in Utah’s state-wide smart controller and other rebate programs. And believe it or not, letting the lawn go dormant. Yes! Your lawn can safely go dormant for 3-4 weeks without dying during the summer.
