During the winter months, the yard is the last thing on your mind and it show be. By now most the country is blanketed in the white fluffy stuff. With snow covering lawns and gardens there is not much to do. Where I live, in the western mountain states, the snow has a tendency to come and go. Two weeks before Christmas the snow began to fall and continued up until the weekend after Christmas. One day, the day time temperature was up to 58 degrees! For the last week the snow has close to melted off.
When I see the lawn, in its dormant state and in a deep sleep, I get the urge to do what most parents do to their baby--tuck them in! What I am referring to is cleaning up the debris (i.e. leaves and etc). This is a great time to remove debris and give the crown on these sleeping babies a brushing.
Thatching or raking can help aid in the removal of unwanted debris. Act now because before you know it the lawn WILL be covered in white fluffy stuff again, which is a great nurturing action mother nature provides. The Snow melts seeping, penetrating deep in to the soil.
Enjoy the winter months and the time away from lawn maintenance, but for a great looking yard year round attention proves rewarding.
