best lawn mower height image
Q. I just bought my first house and the grass is brown and being overrun by weeds. It looks horrible. I want to start over and plant some Kentucky Blugrass (I live in Minnesota). How should I do this? Do I just seed over top of the current grass, or should I rip it out or what? And also, how do I maintain it every year and what shoud I do and not do (lawn mower height, fertilizer, weed prevention, etc.). I know its complicated, but give me your best tips, write a short novel if you have to! I just want my lawn to look good.
Answer
You can put Kentucky bluegrass seed over the top of current grass. Apply some good topsoil on top to keep birds from eating seeds and wind blowing it away. Seeds should germinate in about 2 weeks be sure to water almost daily. Generally Bluegrass needs more water than drought tolerant grass.
You should fertilize once in spring, summer and fall. And use a winterizer in well....winter. A good analysis of about 16-8-8 will work well....
Brown spots are either grubs or fungus.......Dig around grass grubs are large white worms with brown head about the size of a large thumb. If no grubs found probably fungus.
Ahh lawn mowers. Keep setting low in early spring then go up one notch in mid summer and high setting in fall. If grass is cut short during mid summer and fall it tends to look brownish.
A weed n feed fertilizer will work great for fertilizing and weed control. Also you might try a pre-emergence weed control in Early spring this will keep weeds from germinating.
Be sure sprinkler system is working properly and aerate/dethatch lawn in Early spring.

Do I need tools?
Answer
One does not adjust the blade on a mower. You adjust the height of the wheels. There should be levers that you push in to unlock the brackets and that will allow you to move the deck up and down as desired.
