Mike and Jim are filling in for Dave McCabe (we will get him back for the fall episode) and we talk all things summer lawn care. From weeds to watering, we cover many of the things you need to consider as we move into summer and how to make the most of your lawn!  I think you will enjoy the show.

Lawn tips from Jim

* It’s never going to be perfect

* You looked like a rockstar in spring, now it’s time for a rock garden – its not too late to bring it back for the fall, just don’t try to do it all in one day.

* Weeds, weeds and more weeds – Spot applications vs the nuke option

* Your watering is key. 

* Monitoring is important. (Use security cams to check how it is going if you can) Deploy irrigation automation whenever possible.

* Hand watering can be helpful if you are in a place where water is expensive or in short supply. I am going back and forth between front and back everyother day.

* Weather apps for long range forecasts. I like MyRadar and the Weather Channel App. (Screenshare MyRadar). Been thinking about getting weather stations. Recommendations in the comments on YouTube
