Damage In Tolland Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 There's no reason to start any new lawn thread until warmth and spring are imminent. We are 4 -5 weeks away from any kind of lawn work anywhere in NE unless you are on the water. I always start it when spring wx arrives..Noone will be doing lawn work with crusted snow and temps in the 20's and 30's. Folks up ion NNE will have snow until mid-late April OTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'll be doing it soon despite cold. Mother nature apparently wants cold and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always start it when spring wx arrives..Noone will be doing lawn work with crusted snow and temps in the 20's and 30's. For me it can begin in a couple of ways before the warmth. As soon as the snow depth is low enough to be taking down trees near-ground level the chores can begin. Similarly, as soon as the snow's cleared, time to drive around picking up branches and the like that have come down to kick off the burn season.

Baroclinic Zone Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Weekend looks good to get some yard work started. Clean up twigs.branches. Cut some old growth and perhaps rake a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinch1989 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Do you guys think I am safe to put down pelletized lime tomorrow morning with that heavy rain predicted tomorrow night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could..but it's really too early to be putting any kind of lawn treatment down. Lime won't hurt..but no fert for a few more weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lime won't hurt..but no fert for a few more weeks Yeah I though lime was anytime, but best in the fall, which I missed.. I am planning on the weekend of April 12th for step 1...but even that may be a week too early. I also read not to lime when you fert, so I figured get it down so it washes in by the time in fert.

First shot of straight Lesco fert goes down early April..then dimension whenever the forsythia are in bloom. Who the hell knows when that will be this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJonesWX Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Do you guys think I am safe to put down pelletized lime tomorrow morning with that heavy rain predicted tomorrow night? heavy rain will likely wash away the lime pellets. i would wait until the ground thaws a bit so it can penetrate the soil in a nice gentle rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
