The plastic flamingo was created in 1957 by Don Featherstone. The plastic flamingo has become one of the world’s largest icons of pop culture. This creation won Don Featherstone and IG Nobel Prize for art in 1996.

The originals were always sold in pairs, one of which had its head upright, while the other had its head down to the ground as if it were feeding.

Once as a prank, a slope on the University of Wisconsin’s campus was covered with well over a 1000 of these birds.

These birds have become so popular that Madison Wisconsin has the plastic flamingo as its official bird.

The Birth Of Fungus
Some fungus spores germinate in the soil (soil-borne) and attacks the roots, while other fungus are air-borne, which moves with the wind, while effecting plants above the ground. Once turf or other plants are infected, the disease can move by mechanical equipments, animals and even humans walking across the turf. A fungus can survive unfavorable periods as dormant single cell organism waiting for the right conditions to grow. Once conditions are favorable (temperature, water and host plant) the dormant fungi resumes growth from the infected leaves to nearby healthy leaves, causing new infections. Mycelium (cottony growth) moves rapidly through and on the plants.

The Battle Begins Plant VS Disease
Once plants are infected, the plant will deteriorate rapidly unless action to prevent further infections are taken. Using preventive actions before the fungus starts in and on the plant is the best means of control. However, we generally treat the infected plants (turf, flowers and shrubs) after spotting the infection on our customers’ property.

Environmental conditions must be favorable to begin germinating the spores and bringing about conditions that are favorable for treatments. Soil borne disease generally occurs when the daytime temperature combined with a nighttime temperature added together reach a total of 150 degrees (F) or more. At this time the perfect breeding ground for soil fungal spores begins to grow. When air temperature reaches above 83 degrees (F) foliar diseases become a problem for most turf, shrubs and trees. Combine these temperatures with frequent daytime showers, warm nights, with dew forming on the leaves and it’s a perfect storm to fuel the spread of these fungal spores.

Weed Pro Wages War On Fungus

What is a Weed?

A weed is typically known as an annoying plant that is not intentionally planted. They typically grow in gardens, lawns, or other landscaping areas.

The real definition of a weed is a native or nonnative plant that grows and reproduces at a rapid pace and is unwanted.

Are Weeds Ever Useful?

In some cases weeds have been used to benefit people, not just annoy them. Some weeds are edible and have roots or leaves that can be used for medical purposes. Not all weeds are crop killers.

How Do I Get Rid of My Weeds?

There are several methods of removing weeds. First off, contact a local lawn service company and find out what weeds you have a problem with. These local lawn care services are useful to get your weed problem drastically reduced.

Dark Green:

If your lawn is dark green, it is producing a healthy amount of chlorophyll. When your lawn is dark green, that’s your lawn showing you its gratitude.

Yellow ‘ish’:

Lawn is producing less chlorophyll, which means it needs some more nutrients. If you have a yellow lawn, it’s screaming “feed me”.

Red:

Red can mean several things. First off, there are a few species of grass that are naturally red, so make sure you know what kind of grass you have. Second off, in winter and colder seasons your lawn can naturally shift towards a redish color, which is natural. If you’re having great weather and your lawn is still red, then your lawn may have a disease or be in stress.

Orange (typically spots):

Orange means fungi, which isn’t good. There are usually spots of orange when there is rust disease or other forms of fungi in the area. This color means that your grass needs treatment fairly soon.

We hope that you now understand just a little bit better what is happening with your lawn with each different color. If you need Lawn Care Georgia we’re here to help.

Bagging:

Bagging your grass is just that, bagging your clippings after mowing. Instead of using a blade that pushes the clippings back into the soil, the clippings are thrown into a bag connected to the lawn mower.

One advantage to bagging is the lack of clippings on your lawn. Clippings can often be annoying if walk bare foot on your lawn. Also, when bagging you can let sprinklers get water more directly to the soil.

Bagging does take longer with larger yards, because the bags fill often and need to be thrown away.

Mulching:

Mulching is using a special blade on your lawn mower that cuts the grass and then lays it back down on the ground. This method is often performed wrong, because many people have too weak of a lawn mower, move too quickly, or don’t have sharp enough of a blade.

Mulching allows your lawn to have proper cover from the sun and helps keep in the moisture to help promote lawn growth. These clippings are composed of around 80 percent water, which helps strengthen your lawn.

Mulching can create thatch (buildup of clippings and other materials that decompose on the surface of the soil) if not done properly.

Try mulching in times of drought or in seasons of excessive heat to help your grass get the proper moisture.

Both ways of cutting your grass are effective and if you need any help contact Lawn Care Georgia with any questions.
