NC Lawn Care Timetable help?
Hello. I enjoy this newsgroup and wanted to post a question. I live in
Durham, NC and have about 1/3 lot on a corner. I am wondering if anyone can help me with a yearly lawn care plan. Very basic. Somthing that can help me add the right things to the lawn at the right times. I do know that I have some weeds that seem to come back every year. But the rest of the lawn has come together pretty well. Any who, something like: Feb/early march - add pre-emrgence weed killer and fertilizer June - add weed and feed August - etc. October - etc. Just needed something I can refer to each year to know what to do and when to do it. Thanks for any help! -paul |

My timetable - Winston-Salem, NC:
mid-March - pre-emergence weed & feed, done lightly. Dig out wild onions (scallions), dandelions, thistles. Be sure to get the roots. April - Mid-sept - mow with mower set to 3", water if needed. End of Aug/1st week of Sept - de-thatch, kill any undesireable plants like Bermuda Grass, etc. It can take two applications of Round-Up to kill Bermuda grass. It takes a while to show it's really gone. I usually wait two weeks between hits. If after two weeks, no green shows at the base of the plant, it's dead. Late Sept (or two weeks after last attack on the Bermuda grass) - feed and seed. Water lightly if not getting enough rain. Do not put seed down after mid-October. Mid-October to mid-March - clean up gardens, dream of spring. HTH! On 2 May 2005 09:51:24 -0700, wrote: Hello. I enjoy this newsgroup and wanted to post a question.
