Happy New Year to all!
As we go into 2008, it is going to be hard to forget 2007. What a challenge we saw in the Turf and Landscape Business. Mother Nature always keeps us on our toes.
This column is going to be a new challenge for me. I am going to pass along information monthly on what’s going on in the Turf & Landscape Industry, and also pass along a few tips on maintaining your turf and landscape throughout the year.
Now is a good time to consider an organic feed on your turf whether you have a cool-season Fescue Turf or a warm-season Bermuda Turf. On a nice warm winter day, with organics down, the biology in your soil really gets excited! This helps your root system which in turn gives you a healthier plant. If your turf established well in the fall, start planning for your pre-emergent application. I do caution making this application if your Fescue Turf is not mature. Please call if you have questions concerning this issue.
The industry has several events coming up this winter :
Tennessee Turfgrass Conference - Jan. 14-15
The Middle Tennessee Landscape Management Short Course – Jan 17-18
The Tennessee Nursery & Landscape Winter Education & Exhibits – Feb 4-5
The Professional Landscape Association of Nashville Tennessee Winter Seminar – Feb 21
If you need any further info on any of these events contact any of our locations.
In closing if you are in the Landscape or Turf Maintenance business in middle Tennessee I encourage you to attend a P.L.A.N.T. event. This is a group of businesses who work hard on the professionalism in our industry. Watch out around that next corner Mother Nature will be there.
