Where Do Bagworms Come From And How Do They Spread?

Bagworms come from eggs that overwinter inside the brown bags left hanging on trees and shrubs.

How do I control chickweed in my Wichita lawn during fall?

To control chickweed in your Wichita lawn in the fall, treat young plants early with a selective broadleaf weed control appropriate for your turf, and use a fall pre-emergent strategy if preventing new germination is part of your lawn-care plan.

When should I stop mowing my lawn for the year in Wichita, KS?

In Wichita, you should usually stop mowing for the year once your grass stops actively growing, which often happens from late October through November as colder weather and repeated frosts arrive.

Most Wichita lawns should be watered deeply 1–3 times per week, depending on the season, grass type, rainfall, and soil conditions. The goal is not daily watering; it is to get enough water deep into the root zone without wasting it.

Should I fertilize my lawn in July in El Dorado, KS?

You should only fertilize your lawn in July in El Dorado, KS if the grass type and lawn condition support it. For cool-season lawns like tall fescue or Kentucky bluegrass, July is usually not the best time for heavy fertilization because summer heat can stress the turf. For warm-season grasses like bermudagrass or zoysia, July fertilization may make sense if the lawn is actively growing, watered properly, and not drought-stressed.

How Can I Tell Whether Newly Installed Sod Is Getting Enough Water?

Newly installed sod is getting enough water when the grass and the soil directly beneath it remain evenly moist without feeling muddy, spongy, or waterlogged. Lift a corner of the sod in several areas: moisture should reach through the sod’s soil layer and into the prepared ground below. Dry edges, widening seams, wilting, or a bluish-gray color usually mean the sod needs more water.

What is the best fertilizer for tall fescue in Wichita in September?

The best September fertilizer for an established tall fescue lawn in Wichita is generally a nitrogen-focused lawn fertilizer that provides about 1 pound of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet, preferably using a blend of readily available and slow-release nitrogen. Avoid choosing a fertilizer simply because it has high phosphorus or potassium numbers; apply those […]

Why Crabgrass Takes Over Wichita Lawns In Summer

Crabgrass takes over Wichita lawns in summer because it thrives in heat, thin turf, compacted soil, bare spots, and lawns stressed by drought or inconsistent watering. Once summer growth begins, crabgrass spreads quickly and becomes harder to control because it competes aggressively with desirable grass. The best approach is a combination of seasonal weed control, thicker turf, proper mowing, smart watering, and prevention before next year’s crabgrass germinates.
