Collapse ▲After the cold snap we had a couple weeks ago, my lawn has really slowed down its growth. There is really very little to do with the lawn at this point other than keeping it mowed, pulling a few weeds and letting it go dormant for the winter.
If it’s been a couple years since a soil sample was taken, now would be a good time to do that. Taking soil samples every couple of years and keeping a record shows how much the pH might be changing and gives an idea of what kind of nutrients might be needed for the plants for the next growing season.
Visit this short video for information on how to take a soil sample and get it ready for you to ship it to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Agronomic Division Soil Testing Section in Raleigh.
