As summer gets ready to move into fall, there are some important lawn-care tasks to continue and new ones to be done.
We should continue to mow at the proper height depending on grass type. Mow centipede to 1 to 2 inches. Most people mow to 2 inches since home lawns are often too uneven to mow lower without scalping the grass. Since the rule of thumb in mowing grass is to only remove one third of the grass blades, mow when the grass gets 1 inches (for 1 inch mowing) to 3 inches tall (for 2 inch mowing). Make sure to raise the mowing height to 2 inches several weeks before expected frost to prevent winter injury.
The best mowing height for Bermuda is 1 to 2 inches. Mow the grass before it gets 1 to 3 inches tall. You should always grasscycle by leaving the grass clippings on the lawn. This technique will provide up to 25 percent of the lawns fertilizer needs. Mow St. Augustine to 3 to 4 inches, zoysia to 1 to 2 inches depending on variety and tall fescue to 3 to 4 inches.
Fertilization is important to have a healthy lawn, but be careful not to overdo it. Between now and 4 to 6 weeks before expected killing frost (mid-September) fertilize warm-season grasses with 1 pound of potassium per 1,000 square feet. One pound of potassium can be applied by using 1 pounds of muriate of potash (0-0-60), 2 pounds of potassium sulfate (0-0-50), or 4 pounds of sul-po-mag (0-0-22) per 1,000 square feet. This potassium application will help prevent damage to warm-season grasses from the stresses of winter and get them off to a good start next spring. This is the way to winterize your warm-season lawn. Do not fertilize any warm season lawn with a high rate of nitrogen containing fertilizer after August.
Fertilizing at the wrong time and with excess nitrogen is one of the reasons we have so many problems with centipede. If you have already fertilized centipede with a fertilizer containing nitrogen there is no need to do it again. Do not apply nitrogen containing fertilizers to centipede after August. Bermuda can be fertilized in August at the rate of 8 pounds of 12-4-8 or 6 pounds of 16-4-8 per 1,000 square feet. Use half that amount on St. Augustine or zoysia in August. To give Bermuda one final push for good fall growth it can be fertilized at half the August rate in September. Bermuda grass is the only warm-season lawn I would recommend any nitrogen on in September.
Watering hasnt been needed much this year. About 1 inch of water should be applied when irrigating. The best irrigation timing is the early morning when the grass begins to turn a bluish gray color indicating drought stress. This method conserves the most water.
Insects are a concern in lawns but rarely a problem. If you have Bermuda grass, be on the lookout for fall armyworms now. They are rarely found in high-maintenance lawns, but where they are found they can do serious damage quickly. Look for discolored areas, large numbers of birds feeding in lawn areas and more closely in the lawn for fecal pellets. These insects are not true worms but caterpillars that can be green, brown or black with a Y-shaped marking on their head.
Treatment for fall armyworms is only needed if you find an average of 1 per square foot of lawn area. If detected at these levels, lawn insect-control products labeled for home lawns include those with pyrethroids (active ingredients ending in thrin like bifenthrin) or trichlorfon (trade name Dylox and often found in 24 Hour Grub Control Products) can be used following label instructions. Please always follow label instructions for safe handling and application of all pesticides. Do not apply to lawn areas where bees are actively foraging on weed flowers.
Weeds are always a hot topic. No matter what weeds you have, now is not the best time for post-emergence control. Summer annual weeds (like common lespedeza or crabgrass) are more easily controlled from April to June. Perennial weeds are easier to control from October to November and April to May. Winter annual weeds can be controlled from November to March.
For prevention of annual bluegrass and winter broad-leaf weeds, a late August to September application of pre-emergence herbicides containing benefin, trifluralin, dithiopyr or pendimethalin can be used. Do not apply a pre-emergence herbicide if you plan on over-seeding in the fall. These products are often sold as crabgrass preventers but are labeled for late summer and fall application for prevention of winter weeds.

CFE advice for Grassland Conservation Management 7 Simple Steps for Grassland Farmers.
Start with
Identifying the important habitats on your farm
And then look at how you can:
Enhance water and soil quality
Provide a year-round food supply for wildlife.
On any farm, the steps below complement best practice in soil management, nutrient management (fertilisers and manures) and pesticide use to improve the environment, and most are supported by agrienvironment schemes. There is no blueprint for how to deliver improved environmental management on lowland livestock farms. It needs a tailored approach based on your own soils, landscape and environmental features. Addressing local environmental priorities can improve the benefits of these measures further, e.g. focussing on local populations of declining species or checking if you are within a priority water catchment.
Generally, wildlife benefits from livestock systems that provide a diverse range of habitats with a variety of vegetation and heights through the season. The ideal includes a mix of long-term permanent grassland and arable crops rotated with temporary grass leys.

The Voice of British Farming
TORONTO Tom Hanks takes his soccer seriously. And when the Women's World Cup comes to Canada in 2015, he wants the games played on grass fields.
The actor is adding his voice to those protesting the use of artificial turf for the six Canadian venues. On Friday, Hanks tweeted: "Opinion: Women's World Cup is the best Soccer of the year. Hey FIFA, they deserve real grass. Put in sod."
Forty international players recently wrote to FIFA and the Canadian Soccer Association threatening legal action. They say requiring women to play on artificial turf is discriminatory.
In Toronto this month, FIFA President Sepp Blatter lauded the quality of today's artificial turf. Still, the players in the letter say the risk for injury remains greater than on grass surfaces.
Hanks is a fan of the English Premier League club Aston Villa.

Feng Shui consultant Sharon Vogt stirred some interest back in May within a workshop at the Women's Center. When Vogt works with clients in their homes, she utilizes an eight-sided tool, consisting of nine sections, called a bagua ("bog-wah").
Ancient Chinese utilized the bagua before constructing homes, to ensure proper placement within the natural environment. A transparency of the bagua is placed over pre-sketched floor plans.
Each of the nine sections of the bagua has a most powerful characteristic, element, body part, and color. For example; the "Fame" section represents the element fire, the body part eye, and the color red. Without going into so much detail, the remaining eight sections are: "Relationships/Marriage/Mother, Children/Creativity/Future, Helpful People/Travel/Father, Career, Knowledge/Spirituality, Family/Past, Wealth," and "Earth."
In modern America, houses are mass produced and laid out in sub-divisions with little consideration for said environment. Nonetheless, there are "cures" for most problems haphazard construction may cause, including the use of water, crystals, live plants, mirrors, and even color.
The application of cures and techniques, then, would tend to vary, depending on the home's main entrance and how energy flows within each room.
Vogt might interview her client regarding what area(s) of their life may need new or changed energy. There may be health issues within the household a result of stagnate energy. Then, the work would begin, focused on that section of the home and resulting in the implementation of the proper cures: Elements, colors, placement, intentions, etc. With all that in mind, zoom out!
The accompanying image puts a map of Abita Springs underneath a transparent bagua. Might this ancient tool explain why the energy here feels so good? Water being a Feng Shui cure, maybe it's no mistake the area is known for its "healing waters."
With this evidence, let's explore that theory because-- admit it-- some towns and places can give off pretty bad vibrations. Yet, here, it appears that the Women's Center for Healing and Transformation falls, appropriately, into the "Knowledge/Spirituality" section. A school, the Trailhead, Park, and history Museum, are in the "Family/Past" section. Abita Brewery and other businesses are in the "Wealth" section. Most of the residential areas are in the "Relationships/Marriage/Mother" section.
Another school and the ball parks are in the "Children/Creativity/Future" section. The Trace, heading out toward Mandeville is in the "Travel" section. What's left? Oh, "Fame!" Do you know of anyone famous living in the northern section of Town?
"Career" is the southern section, and I've heard it said that Abita Springs keeps its small town flavor by not allowing itself to get too big. It is what it is, and it feels just right, because of the positive energy flowing from the people and the environment. Within the center section, the "Earth," sits Town Hall. Throw in a cemetery, and it doesn't get earthier than that.
