Q&A

I re-established my yard with fescue on Labor Day and it has now produced a lush healthy lawn. Our weather forecast is predicting either frost or freeze in the near future. Will the grass go into dormancy at that point and I can stop watering or should I continue to water well into Fall? - Chuck -

   You should keep watering 1” a week until winter and a hard freeze. If we do not have enough moisture this winter, continue watering when we have warm days monthly until spring. Jane

   Jane is correct. The new grass is still establishing so the tender and young roots will need a good supply of moisture all winter along.

   Thanks! Under normal conditions I am no fan of Winter but this year I really wish for a lot of snow like we had a couple of years ago. We really need it!
