Although they look great on the trees as they change from color to color through the fall, they can cause damage quickly if left covering areas of your lawn. Early fall can be tricky as leaves fall and build up inconspicuously along fence lines or the side of the house. Just a few days with damp clumpy leave coverage can begin to choke out areas of healty grass. When uncovered you'll notice yellowing of the turf, so do your best to try and avoid build ups by keeping up with clean up.

How Much Water is Enough?

Most lawns in St. Louis require 1-1.5 inches of water per week. During extended periods of high heat and drought cool season grasses should receive 1.5 inches of water per week. The delivery of the water has always been debatable, but like the University of Missouri at Columbia we recommend longer watering at less frequent intervals.

Late fall is the last chance to prepare your lawn for winter and insure a quick start for next spring. Your lawns root system is still quite active and this is the time to promote plenty of growth in that area before winter dormancy. While people consider doing nothing until spring, that is the wrong move. Your lawn will feed off the fertilizer until at least Thanksgiving and then store any unused portion to get through the winter months.

Organic Lawn Care Program

The choice of an organic lawn care program may not be for everyone, but does offer an alternative to synthetic products. Milorganite products belong to a class of materials called Biosolids; it has been sold since 1926 and is the ideal choice for a lawn fertilizer program that uses organic nitrogen as their base. Biosolids are the residual microbes that have digested nutrients out of sewage waste streams. Milorganite will not burn turf; it will not cause damage to ornamental plants if it accidentally is applied to them. Most of the organic fertilizers will also contain poultry manure which is a great source of calcium.
