There are many options of winter flowers that you can plant in the Upstate. This month, we featured different types of winter flowers every Tuesday.

By: Hannah Raines Copyright ALL Outdoors 2018 After the first frost, what was once green begins to turn brown. Warm season grasses begin to go dormant. For many, this is fine and just means that there is less yard work to do. But sometimes, you just want your lawn to be nice and green all year long. If you find yourself desiring a green lawn, there are a couple of options for you. apply five pounds of ryegrass per 1000 feet for established lawns and ten pounds of seed per 1000 feet for more barren areas. Sow the seeds and ensure that they have made contact with the soil. Water two to three times a day until the seeds germinate, but be careful not to overwater because you can either wash away the seeds or cause disease to develop. Make sure to fertilize the ryegrass and remember to keep mowing your lawn. The ryegrass should be kept around 1 to 1 ½ feet tall. In the spring, the ryegrass will die off as your warm season grass is coming back. does not run after it dries and it is safe for humans and pets to come in contact with. Several companies offer this service. The treatment usually lasts around two to three months.

You probably have an overabundance of leaves in your yard and are wondering what to do with them. We have posted several blogs about options other than just bagging up leaves and throwing them away. This week, we want to tell you about composting. Composting leaves is yet another option that helps your yard and can save you money in the long run.
Leaves are rich in nutrients and can make effective mulch for winter and summer. Decomposed leaves are super beneficial to the soil. The leaves of most trees contain TWICE the mineral content of manure! While it is beneficial to blow all of your leaves in the direction of your garden, if the leaves aren’t shredded, it may take years for them to decompose. Leaves will decompose and become compost quicker and more effectively if you shred the leaves first. Pile all of the leaves together and go over the leaves with the lawn mower a few times to create finely shredded leaves. After you have your leaves shredded, add a nitrogen source, such as grass clippings. For every five wheelbarrows of ground leaves, add one wheelbarrow of fresh grass clippings. Feel free to add other components such as coffee grounds, fruit peelings, and egg shells to make your compost pile even healthier. Try to go out once a week and stir up the compost pile to add oxygen to it to help the decomposition process. Add some water if the compost pile ever gets too dry. We hope this has given you another helpful idea for putting your fallen leaves to good use this season! By: Hannah Raines Copyright ALL Outdoors 2018 |
