Ted: A number of years back, I had a next door neighbor. You would see him out with the ride on lawn mower at the first fall of snow, and in the spring I think he almost needed a snow blower on front to clear the way. He made more ruts in the lawn than one could even imagine. Then his lawn looked like H@## all summer. He could never understand how my lawn could look so much better. I told him if you would park that damn mower during times your grass is under stress, your lawn would look good Two rules I alway adhered to; never mow grass in spring until it's 6" high, and in fall stop mowing 3 weeks before first killing frost. Doesn't matter whether it's lawn or hayfield. That fall mowing rule is a must with legumes, but doesn't hurt to do the same with grasses. A lot of people say that old layer of brown grass is ugly and hurting growth. So many times in climates with winter we get early nice warm weather, then in two weeks back to winter for a spell. Nice to have that new grass and legumes covered by the old growth. After that is over hit it with an application of A/N. The old growth will decompose quickly and it will tickle the feet of the new. Man may not have spring tonic, but his grass surely does.
