November 3, 2017Q.Lawn topic
I found dozens of holes in my lawn. What makes them unique is that the grass around each hole is whirled, as if my lawn has been invaded by dozens of tiny tornadoes! MY property backs up to woods, and there's a stream running through the property near the woods.

November 4, 2017A.This could be skunks looking for grubs. You may see the same phenomenon in spring when grubs migrate to the surface as the soil warms. There are numerous control suggestions on the web. Whether they actually work or just keep getting repeated, I don't know.

If a lawn is a blue grass/fescue mix will the blue grass eventually take over and choke out the fescue?

November 8, 2017A.Newer varieties of tall fescue can compete with bluegrass and remain an equal part of the lawn. Some older varieties may not keep up with the fescue. Also, fescue is more sensitive to damage, so if the lawn recieves high foot traffic and wear, the bluegrass may eventually take over.

Is it good to use citrus & avocada fertlizer for lawn grass?

November 20, 2017A.Lawn fertilizer is the best to use for lawn grass. The reason is that lawn grass needs a lot of nitrogen compared to other nutrients. Citrus fertilizer is not ideal for lawns, but it is better that general purpose or vegetable fertilizer, because citrus fertilizer is also somewhat high in nitrogen. Check the NPK rating on the fertilizer you choose.

Certified ExpertA.Most of the time with most grasses, it is best to seed in spring. This can be different for different types of grasses, but in most cases, the best time is still spring.

I would like to apply milky spore to my lawn as I had a tremendous amount of Japanese beetles last year in my vegetable garden and on some of my fruit tree leaves. I live in zip code 38555 in Crossville, Tennesse and would like to know the proper time to apply milky spore. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me. Thank you Patty

My lawn has disappeared about a meter around a tree that my wife planted at the edge of the lawn a few years ago, what grass (if any) can I plant to overcome this situation?

February 22, 2018A.I would visit your local garden center and inquire on the best shade grass for your region.
Growing grass under trees is an issue for many home gardeners.
You may also want to consider a shade ground cover as an alternative to typical grass.
Here are some articles with more information.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/tips-for-growing-grass-under-a-tree.htm
