 Over an inch of rain today in Elyria. The grass is starting its spring push . Grass is starting to seed now in lawns all over Northeast Ohio. The Turf will be growing fast and need cut up to twice weekly.
  To see your healthies turf never cut more than 1/3 of  the grass at one cutting. This encourages deep rooting and keeps the turf its greenest. When you cut off more than that the turf will be starved of sunlight on the exposed part of the leaf blade and consequently be of color. (Yellow) This also leads to excess clippings and shallow rooting. Deep rooting will be needed for summer months ahead.
  Also check your mower blades .....tattered or uncut turf will lead to a gray haze or whitish appearance from a distance on your turf stand. This effect will take a cutting or two with newly sharpened blades to correct. Remember .....Forevergreeen Get green stay Green !
