Residents are asking about types of grass
I have received a lot of questions about lawns this year. The most common question has been “What kind of grass is this?” Most of the time, the grass that is in question is annual bluegrass. I have not seen a lot of this grass in North Dakota because we are generally dry. In other parts of the United States it is one of the most common weeds in turf.September 17, 2011
Healthy grass can sprout weed-free lawns
To keep a healthy lawn, give it some fertilizer. There are several excellent commercial fertilizers out there. You do not need much. It is good to apply the fertilizer on the holiday schedule. In other words, apply the fertilizer around Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. Before the snow starts to fly in October, put on a slow-release fertilizer so your lawn will take off in the early spring (when we have enough heat units).By Lance Brower, NDSU Extension Service , April 28, 2010

Ornamental grass provides easy drought solution
A fashionable fix for drought-proofing lawns is downsizing: ripping up some of that demanding turf and replacing it with succulents or a vegetable garden. But here’s another idea. How about replacing grass with grass — thirsty bluegrass, for example, with an ornamental? Ornamental grasses are low-maintenance perennials with pleasing personalities. They’re durable yet graceful. Many are deer-, insect- and drought-resistant.By By Dean Fosdick, The Associated Press , October 04, 2008
Now’s the time for fall lawn care and renovation
Renovating, fertilizing, weed control, aerating, mowing and watering are all tasks which can be done now to improve the lawn. Renovating includes de-thatching and overseeding. Proper fall fertilizing, weed control, mowing and watering will help prepare the lawn for winter and rapid growth in the spring. Keep in mind that these tasks should only be undertaken on lawns that are not dormant.By Sandy Eckelberg , September 13, 2008
