Water Your Lawn

Here in Thornton, Westminster, and Broomfield we have had a very dry winter.  The mountains have recieved huge amounts of snow fall, but we are over 30 inches below our normal snow fall amounts here in the Denver metro area and front range of Colorado.  We now find ourselves halfway through our “normally” snowiest month with nothing to speak of yet.

My Point to this is that I would recommend soaking your lawn, trees and outdoor plants with the hose this weekend.  It’s still too early to turn on your sprinler system, but do it the old fashioned way……with a garden hose.  You may have some damage to your lawn by mites if you don’t get some water on it soon.  That also reminds me, don’t pay anyone to put chemicals on your lawn to get rid of mites.  Mites don’t like water, so all you have to do is water your grass and they will go away.  You may already have some damage, but acting now will minimize it.

So go ahead don’t wait until it’s too late, get the hose out and soak your lawn.  You’re grass will thank you!
