Do You Know the Four Signs of Stress?

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Over 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, but that doesn’t mean your lawn is getting enough of it. Here are four signs that your lawn is beginning to show stress from inadequate watering:

  1. Bluish-gray areas in the lawn
  2. Footprints or tire tracks that remain in the grass long after being made
  3. Many leave blades folded in half
  4. Soil sample from root zone feels dry

But before you rush to turn on the faucet, learn how to properly water your lawn, while being a good steward of this precious resource. Sign up for Bethel Farms’ monthly newsletter and download the Drought Survival Guide. Here in Florida we still have several weeks before the “rainy season” begins and after an unusually cold winter, these tips can come in handy.

Water well, but water wisely – and Happy 40th Earth Day!

Here’s a way to make your decision to “go green” go farther – recycle your electronic wastes and donate to your favorite charity at the same time. Recycling for Charities does just that and Bethel Organics (a division of Bethel Farms) is furthering the cause by donating a selection of DOT Pots™ to Recycling for Charities’ Earth Day event at Oakland University.
