Greensboro Faces Lawn Challenges Amid Frost and Drought
In Greensboro, North Carolina, residents are dealing with the dual challenges of frost and drought, which are impacting lawn care practices. According to Consumer Reports, proper mowing techniques and mower maintenance are crucial for keeping lawns healthy under these conditions. Experts recommend mowing in the late afternoon or evening to avoid the hottest part of the day and to prevent mowing when dew is present in the morning. Raising the mower deck to its highest setting can help retain soil moisture by keeping the grass longer. Additionally, mulching grass clippings instead of bagging them can return nutrients to the lawn, reducing the need for fertilizers.
