Q: Should I use fungicide on grass with powdery mildew?

• <div><p>You can use a fungicide to help control powdery mildew, but you should apply it judiciously as it can damage soil health and persist in the soil. Most of the time, proper watering, surface drying, and limiting shade can control powdery mildew without needing harsher interventions. If you have a repeated problem with powdery mildew, you can also try planting a shade-resistant <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-grass-will-grow-best-my-yard.htm">type of grass</a> that will be less susceptible to the fungus.</p></div>

Q: Can you permanently get rid of nutgrass?

• <div><p>The first step is killing any current nutgrass plants, either through application of herbicides or sugar, by digging up the plants and rhizomes, or by using soil solarization. To discourage new nutgrass plants from forming, ensure <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-landscape-drainage.htm">proper landscape drainage</a> and bring shade into areas of the lawn that are consistently damp.</p></div>

Q: Should I water my lawn before I fertilize?

• <div><p>You should water your lawn two or three days before putting down fertilizer to ensure it can properly absorb it. It's good to apply fertilizer if the ground is moist, but you want to avoid overwatering or flooding the area because it can prevent the grass from absorbing the nutrients. Consider weather conditions when scheduling your fertilizer treatment and read the instructions to see how long you should wait to water after application.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if my seeds aren’t sprouting?

• <div><p>If it&rsquo;s been a few weeks and you haven&rsquo;t seen anything pop up, double-check your seed packet and make sure you didn&rsquo;t miss any steps. Did they need cold stratification (putting seeds in the freezer and then transferring to water before planting)? Do they have an exceptionally long germination period? </p><p> If you&rsquo;ve followed all of the directions closely, you may just have had a bad batch of seeds. (Sadly, it happens.)</p></div>

It was fine. I only wish they had call the day before they treated to let me know they were coming, so I could plan a little better for the dog, but otherwise I was happy. Hopefully the treatments will continue to preserve our trees.
