Why is it?
Why is it that when one person in a neighborhood starts cutting their grass, other home owners start on their lawns? It gets everyone to thinking about their lawns when they were thinking about relaxing. It seems to be the same way when someone starts washing their car. I guess we are all a bunch of copy cats.
What Your Lawn Needs Now
I cannot say what a lawn in Oregon needs at this time of year but I do know what grass needs in Northeast Georgia right now. I do this to my personal property and many of the properties I take care of in my lawn care business.
- 1. Aerate
- Put out fire ant control
- Fertilize
- Over seed
There are many factors that determine how your lawn will perform. But the list above is a great baseline to follow.

Lawn Care. Going Green. Maybe
I just read an article about how lawns are not really good for the environment since they require mowers, blowers, trimmers, etc to care for them. It makes sense but in reality it will be hard to fix that problem. The article has a couple suggestions that are not realistic on a broad basis like using manual push mowers. Yeah, I don’t know anyone here in Georgia that is going to us a manual push mower. I don’t know many Georgians that use a push mower that is self propelled! I certainly would not care to use one.
To have a lawn you have to care for it. At the bare minimum you have to mow it and that is just basic care with not fertilizing, leaf blowing, etc. You cannot just pave your entire property or allow it to wash away with mud or get overgrown with grass and weeds. So until solar powered mowers are affordable / and efficient in the future I don’t see how to eliminate the need for gas powered mowers. Propane is an option that has some benefits though and many commercial mowers are offering this option like the Dixie Chopper below.
The article is here.

- Be nice if Georgia could bottle all this extra rain. Oh we could if state had built more reservoirs during drought. #
