| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses winter turf management, stating that "although it may be tempting to close up shop for the winter without a second glance, [it] is the time to think about how to make turfgrass areas ready for rigors of [spring] traffic, weather and overuse." Highlights aerification and fall seeding, suggesting that "fall is the time to begin to develop root systems through aerification." Lists steps which "will put turf to bed for the winter and develop a healthy stand of turfgrass for the next season," including soil testing; weed control; seeding; and dormant fertilizer. |
