As Fall rolls in the leaves are slowly dropping. Many people mulch the leaves up with their mowers, including me. This could be a safety hazard on lawns that are new to you. Lawns we mow all season we get familiar with all the stumps and holes, etc. Leaves can cover stumps and holes which can lead to mower damage and possible injury. So take it a bit slower on leaf cleanup with mowers.

Property Improvements In Georgia Winter

A couple tips on leaves. Use a tarp to move large piles of them. Try doing this with the help of your mower also. Wait until all the leaves fall before putting new pinestraw on beds. This way leaves don’t fall on top of the nice pinestraw. And you do not have to remove the leaves from the beds. They will decompose under the straw.
Maysville Ga Lawn Care
Hopefully August will not be brutally hot. July had some super hot days but not a long string of them thankfully. We had some good rain tonight so that will help the lawns that have dried out a bit. It is amazing how good the grass cuts when it is bit cooler and even wet. Next time you mow in weather above 95 just notice how much is left even with sharp blades. The weeds just lay over when they are parched.

Video on Organic Lawn Fertilizers
The guy over at safelawns.org has a good video up that shows how to make organic fertilizer. There are several on the link above. The specific one about organic tea is very good. It shows the easy but time consuming process of making your own lawn fertilizer. You need a compost pile and small gadgets (optional) and a manual sprinkler (optional). You also need some free time. The organic movement in lawns is cool but make no mistake. It is not as easy as buying some fertilizer or paying a guy to fertilize for you.

The complexities of greening your lawn
The complexities of greening your lawn | Philadelphia Inquirer | 07/22/2009.
The debate over lawn chemicals never ends. Organic sounds nice but is not as effective as store bough chemicals. The chemicals are mostly safe when used properly. For now it looks like the biggest cities with more oppresive governments are the only ones banning chemical lawn care outright.
