David McCabe from https://reset.fm/ is back this week as we wrap up the 2020 Lawn Care Series with a look at fall lawn care. What needs to be done now and what can wait till spring? Can you bring your lawn back from a long summer drought? What about over seeding and spraying for weeds? Dave answers it all. We also open the show with a little Windows 95 conversation as the OS turns 25 years old and look back at the early days of podcasting for Jim and Dave. I think you will find it very interesting.

Let’s just get this straight. I’m not a pro. This is not a “how to” you will still need to do your due diligence on your grass type, area, and listen to part 1 of this podcast.

Also, realize that I have a COOL season grass.  I am 6A and very close to 5B.

If you live South of me you might be a WARM Season grass.  You STILL need to know your zone and grass type. 

Average First Frost for your area?

When To Expect Your First Frost

 

Video also has a fall forecast at the end. Temperature Anamolies.

If you are in the Below Average Map could be earlier for first frost so be ready for that.

Having said all that. By the time this podcast publishes you are behind if you have not started to implement your fall plan.

Fall

It’s a new lawn season. 2020 is over. What did you learn? Did you do the notebook? When did you apply your pre emergent? When did your soul temps change? When did the weeds pop up? How did your ferts do? Did you see fungus? When did you start watering?

 

Now, when should you have done all the above?

Learn and plan your 2021 season!
