Autumn is here on the Talking Heads podcast - as the last vestiges of Summer in the garden dodge the wet and windy weather while trying to give the last hurrah before that inevitable but pleasantly seasonable slide into the hibernation of winter.

So join them both for more horti-waffle and insights into the life of the modern, professional gardener.It's the hedges and edges episode! Saul and Lucy have both been flexing their muscles on long-pole hedgecutters and lawnmowers this week.

Our lawns go through a lot, they get trampled on, sat on, cut down short and most of us allow them to dry out over summer. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing, but if we want them to be able to withstand that treatment every summer, it's a good idea to give them a bit of attention now and a few simple actions in autumn will ensure your lawn survives winter in good shape and is healthy and raring to grow next spring.

Horticulturalist Dave Decock joins It Takes 2 to take listeners lawn and garden questions. And, as we round to the middle of September, our questions are fall and harvest focused. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here we go – it's spring and people wake up to some troubles with their lawns. Starlings dig their beaks into the soil and cause “holes” everywhere – some dunnocks (hedge sparrows) follow the starling's idea. Grass grubs have always been a “problem” in NZ gardens and lawns. C-shaped grubs that live underground, feeding on roots of grasses and other plants/shrubs. There are a number of species in the Beetle Family Scarabeidae (scarab beetles) but the native grass grub, Costelytra zealandica, has always been in New Zealand. Its traditional habitat and host plants were native grasses, such as tussocks, and they occur at quite high altitudes. There is no doubt that these beetles considered the new high-nutrient imported grasses as ice-cream, especially when we started planting whole paddocks full of that stuff! With all those birds, your lawn becomes a lot more biodiverse – personally, I love that! Mosses grow as the pH lowers; they are miniature forests in which an enormous range of caterpillars, millipedes, beetles, and flies as well as mites and predators, parasites, and other beneficial critters do their brilliant jobs. Moss in lawns is not really a “problem”. For those people that want to “restore” their lawn, the best time to “sow” a new lawn (after totally spraying the old grasses and weeds, leaving nothing but a bare soil) is autumn. Of course, you can also get yourself a series of rolled-up turf mats (ready-lawn) or, as I noticed some school principals prefer, create an “all weather” playing field from artificial grass – spare me! You've got it, I really am not impressed with perfect lawns – few ecosystem services, very low biodiversity and far too “sustainable” (to use a much over-used marketing term). A lawn can have flowers and lots of perennials, a place where you can walk from one end of the garden to the other, a pathway, mowed to low growing and easy to maintain – the kids can play there and birds graze the grubs from under the roots. It certainly should not be a monoculture of grass plants trimmed to an inch of their life and meticulously cut along the edges. Imagine a lawn with heaps of flowers, and all you have to do is mow a meandering track through it all. Other troubles: homeowners let their dogs use the backyard as their own personal toilet. Often after a winter of such potty practice, when the snow melts, you'll often find your lawn speckled with unsightly yellow patches. What causes these patches? Dog urine contains a variety of nitrogen compounds. Too much nitrogen will burn the grass and create yellow patches. But appropriate concentrations of nitrogen can actually be beneficial to the lawn, which is why you'll often see rings of thick dark green grass around the yellow patches. This makes sense since the main ingredient in lawn fertilizer is nitrogen. The concentration of nitrogen in the dog's urine depends on the type of dog, its sex, and what the animal eats. Larger dogs will pee more and cause more damage. Female dogs also tend to cause more damage than males because they squat and urinate in one concentrated patch whereas the males spray their urine over a larger area. Diets high in protein can increase the concentration of nitrogen in the urine since protein breaks down to release nitrogen compounds.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! There are many christian lawn care business owners out here, but are there many who live like they are christians while they are conduction business.

We get one life, one body, and one soul and it doesn't matter where your at, if your a believer in Jesus Christ He expects His children to act like they are His children all the time.

Every summer, the same devastating story repeats across America: lakes that families have cherished for generations suddenly turn toxic green. Half a million people in Toledo lose their drinking water when Lake Erie blooms with poison algae. Or, Florida's red tide costs the state billions in lost tourism. But some of the most damaged bodies of water in America are getting a cleanup. Meet Dr. Mark Heilman, Vice President of Environmental Restoration and Advocacy at SePRO, whose two decades of water restoration work have brought 1.4 million acres of polluted lakes and wetlands across North America back to life. Mark's team achieved a 42% reduction in harmful phosphorus levels and protected $300 million in annual tourism revenue at Moses Lake, Washington.When phosphorus from fertilizers and runoff enters our waters, it acts like Miracle-Gro for algae, creating massive blooms that choke aquatic life and produce toxins that cause liver damage, neurological problems, and even death. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency assessments show the number of overly productive lakes with poor water quality is increasing. Harmful algal blooms are becoming more frequent and intense. Perhaps most striking is Heilman's noting that even benign-seeming weekend lawn care directly contributes to this crisis: a bushel of grass clippings that reach a waterway contains about a tenth of a pound of phosphorus, the same amount found in a box of Miracle-Grow fertilizer. When dumped into a waterway, those clippings can grow up to 50 pounds of algae. Heilman explains that treating a lake is like "performing surgery on an entire ecosystem," a process that involves a comprehensive assessment of water quality, community engagement, and multi-year management programs. The climate crisis is intensifying these challenges as warming water temperatures favor cyanobacteria growth, while invasive species like hydrilla—what Heilman calls "disturbance specialists"—exploit changing environmental conditions to establish footholds and outcompete native species. Yet he remains optimistic about prevention: "It's easier to prevent, takes less resources and investment to prevent them than to actually try to resolve them once these problems are in the environment."

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Many, many, business owners love the biblical book of Proverbs and for good reason. It isn't called the book of wisdom for nothing. But, if you read the reast of the bible, especially Jesus life in the Gospels, you will see that Jesus basically goes against everything our human nature would do in business. Proverbs leaves room for taking someone to court or even revenge, but Jesus leaves no room for either of those things. Jesus says, "turn the other cheek" and "do good to those who persecute you". So how are we suppose to think of these two differing pictures we see in the bible? Let's talk about it.  Book: It's Not Your Business by Gary Miller https://amzn.to/4g3d17O    **Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review in Apple Podcasts.** Give Me Your Feedback: http://www.linktr.ee/lansinglawnservice     Buy Me A Coffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/mowinginthedark    Michigan Maple Coffee: https://amzn.to/4eQZzSR Check out my business websites: www.lansinglawnservice.com www.gravelblasters.com , www.sutterbrotherslawncare.com   Check out My Favorite Lawn Care Gear: Werner, AC78, Quickclick Stabilizer, Aluminum https://amzn.to/2OTOfMf Wonder Grip WG318L Liquid-Proof Double-Coated/Dipped Natural Latex Rubber Work Gloves 13-Gauge Seamless Nylon, Large, Large https://amzn.to/2Ytjml6 Hodenn Zero Turn Lawn Mower Hitch - Fits Ariens & Gravely ZT-X: https://amzn.to/3jJmEua ECHO Black Diamond Trimmer Line: https://amzn.to/2GBEL7d
