No. Mowing frequency varies by the season. In the spring, established lawns should be mown as soon as the grass greens and begins to grow. In the summer, close mowing (especially during hot weather) can weaken some grass varieties. As autumn approaches, cool-season grasses begin to grow faster and produce more clippings. Conversely, warm-season grasses begin to slow down. Adjust your mowing habits accordingly.

Aim to mow your lawn on 4- or 5-day intervals while it is growing most rapidly during the summer. That way you'll not remove more than one-third of its growth at any given time. Letting the grass grow taller weakens it. White grub worms (larval form of June beetles) devour turf roots (both bermuda and St. Augustine) leaving the grass dead and lifeless on top of the soil. Their prime season of activity starts 6 weeks after the major June beetle flight in early summer and continues until frost.

Dormant seeding is fine; however, seed should be planted so there is good seed to soil contact. In the event we get early snow, do not plant the seed over the snow. In warmer regions seeding is better done in the spring.

You can generally start mowing 3-4 weeks after seeding your Bermuda lawn. Occasionally if growth is rampant, you may need to mow within 2 weeks after planting. Thereafter, mowing will be required in a range of 3 to 7 days depending on various factors. Bermudas are mowed from around 3/8 inch to 1 & 1/2 inches in height. Lower mowings require more frequent mowing. Height below around 1 inch may require a "reel" type mower to prevent scalping.

Optimum grass height varies by region - and by grass type. For example, creeping bentgrass spreads by stolons and should be mown below a 1/2 inch. In fact, if you mow this grass variety too high, it may develop thatch problems. Conversely, Canada bluegrass won't tolerate close cuttings and needs to be kept above 2-1/2 inches in order to survive. Here are some general mowing guidelines for many of today's most popular grass varieties: Recommended Mowing Heights

You should mow the grass at the highest setting on your mower or at least 3 inches. Each time you mow, you should cut no more than 1/3 of the grass height. Note: There are exceptions for some warm season grasses such as bermuda centipede, and bentgrass that grow more dense at lower mower settings.

If you are talking about the blues, I drop the blade to cut just above the green that can be seen underneath. This means that my blade is usually set for one to one and a half inches. If you have the money, it is; if you don’t, it isn’t. It all depends on whether you feel the convenience is worth it.

Feed the bulbs in early spring with a recommended bulb fertilizer or one low in nitrogen. Allow the bulbs to bloom as usual. Wait until the foliage dies back and separates easily from the bulb when given a gentle tug. If you cannot transplant them immediately, mark their location and transplant anytime through late summer. Fertilize again in fall.

Click here to download an application; click here to download the official policy document. Be sure to submit your completed application and $70 application fee to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by September 5 for the fall semester and January 15 for the spring semester. Applications cannot be accepted after these deadlines.

Our customers report mowing 2 to 4 times per season. The rate of regrowth depends on the type of aquatic weeds, the temperature, the depth at which one is able to cut, etc. We've had some customers tell us their lily pads didn't regrow at all after having kept them under the surface for a season!

Yes. Degree candidates who wish to maintain their degree candidacy while they are away from the College for one or two semesters must apply for a leave of absence. Leave of Absence forms are available online and in the Registrar's Office, suite 313. In lieu of tuition, students who are approved for leave will be charged an Active File Fee for each semester of leave status. While on leave, students may not be eligible to receive financial aid.

Every time you submit an application for a position posted by CSO you must submit a resume. We encourage, but no longer require, students to submit a cover letter with each resume for a posted position. Due to the large increase of firms coming on campus, we want to maximize student participation and encourage you to drop resumes for as many firms as possible.

When you see new growth appearing, usually in the spring, cut out all the browned grass. For more lawn and garden questions, see our article library or FAQs. I also recommend the National Gardening Association web site for questions that are not answered by our site.

Early spring applications of nitrogen cause a surge of top growth. I'll grant you, that makes the lawn look nice in the spring, but it depletes the plant's energy reserves. Consequently, when summer stress periods occur, plants are weaker and less able to survive. It is recommended to apply fertilizer in late October or early November, when top growth is minimal but soil temperatures are still warm enough for nitrogen absorption.

A common misconception about Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region is that our winters and heavy snowfall begin in November or December. October, November, December and many days in January and February are still sunny and relatively mild. The biggest difference between these months and our summers is that the temperatures are just lower, with mornings and evenings at times cold enough for a heavy jacket.

You can't compare a class in the winter session to one in the spring....that like comparing good O'l Nebr steak with tofu. The winter session goes much faster. Remember, we are packing a semester into 6 weeks. That does means we move FAST. The same material, labs, topics, etc are in both types of classes. On line simply means that you do the lecture part at home....somewhere away from the campus.

If you have a Fall only loan or Spring only loan, the funds will come in two disbursements. The first disbursement will be approximately 30 days after the beginning of the semester. The second disbursement will be approximately one month after the first disbursement.

It truly depends on your individual needs. There are many organizations that offer internship opportunities throughout the year, and others that may only offer summer opportunities. Many students enjoy focusing on their internship during the summer, while others feel it is best for them to pursue the opportunity during the Fall or Spring semesters.

Landscaping can begin in the spring as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Nursery plants are generally potted up bare root or container grown in the field. Larger, caliper trees or pre-dug in the spring and kept covered with sawdust and watered daily so they can be planted throughout the year. It is definitely unadvisable to try and transplant deciduous trees or shrubs once they have leaved out as their chance of survival is very low.
