Keeping a Green Lawn This Winter

Now is the time to reseed your lawn if it has had problems with insects or disease this summer. Many lawn have thinned out or developed bald spots. Your lawn doesn't need regular applications of Rogaine. A good overseeding job with Nugget Blend or Rough and Tumble or sun and shadow seed depending on what you have now can really help.

All it takes is to mow short, apply Masterstart fertilizer, the lawn seed and mulch with Gold Rush or Humus. Daily waterings in most cases is enough to keep the seed moist.

If you have a bermuda lawn that you don't like the winter appearance you can over-seed with Annual Rye Grass to keep it green this winter.

In other cases Masters' Fall & Winter Fertilizer will get the lawn growing and green up. This is especially true if your lawn is Medallion or another regular turf-type fescue. They tend to yellow in the winter and you have to act now to correct the problem.
