Lawn and order: Tips to bring your drought-stressed lawn back to health
SUMMARY: Houston lawns are turning brown after nearly a month without rain, leading to a moderate drought in Southeast Texas. Meteorologist DA Swad reports that all hope isn’t lost for struggling lawns. Lawn expert Aron Moore suggests watering twice a week for longer durations to help moisture penetrate deeper into the soil and support root health. Over-watering can be detrimental; frequency is vital. Morning watering is preferred to reduce fungus risks. Additionally, using soil activators and compost can prepare lawns for winter and promote healthier growth in spring. Swift action is essential for lawn recovery amid drought conditions.
It has been 28 days and counting without rain in Houston. Much of southeast Texas is currently under a moderate drought, and the lack of rain is leaving lawns thirsty for water. Instead of lush green colors, lawns have a crunchy feel and a brown color.
Are you looking to nurture your lawn back to health? Southwest Fertilizer’s store manager, Aaron Moore, says they have been helping people do just that.
