February Tall Fescue Program
1. Maintain your mowing height at 2 inches with a frequency of once per week. A good rule of thumb is to never take off more than 1/3 of the leaf blade per mowing. Leave the clippings in the turf—it’s a good source of nutrients.
2. Maintain adequate soil moisture by irrigating deep (6 to 8 inches) and infrequent. You should always check the soil moisture prior to irrigation with a soil probe or screwdriver. After you irrigate, check the moisture again to see just how deep the moisture penetrated.
3. Fertilize your lawn with 0.75 to 1.0 pound of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet in early February with a quick-release fertilizer. Apply the total amount of fertilizer needed in two directions to ensure even distribution. Irrigate your lawn immediately after you fertilize. CAUTION: Do not apply fertilizer to your lawn when the leaves are wet (dew, rain, irrigation, etc.).
4. Purchase and apply the proper pre-emergent herbicide to control germinating annual grassy and broadleaf summer weeds. (mid to late February)
