Ep. 30 Lawns with Richard Hentschel

In this episode of the Good Growing podcast, the crew is joined by University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator Richard Hentschel. Richard dives into important and timely lawn care questions as summer days shorten and cooler nights begin to prevail. Topics covered include: What can I do to get lawns like my neighbors that hire companies to take care of theirs? What about lumpy yards? What should I do to rehab my lawn this fall? Should I be bagging my lawn clippings? What can be done to stop nimblewill? How can you transition to less ‘lawn’ and more native plants. Can you treat a lawn to get rid of both dandelion and crabgrass weeds? What grasses are recommended to plant in central Illinois? What animal keeps digging up the lawn? Is there anything that can be done to stop it?
