🎙️ TRAFFIC ON THE TURF – NOVEMBER UPDATE

“Hey pros, it’s time for Traffic on the Turf — brought to you by Turf’s Up Radio… your industry, your station.

We’re rolling into November, and while the leaves are falling, your lawns still need attention. Here’s what should be on your radar:

• Cool-season lawns: Keep mowing until growth stops. Drop your height a notch for that final cut to prevent matting under snow.
• Fertilization: This is your last chance to feed cool-season turf — hit it with a slow-release nitrogen to strengthen roots before dormancy.
• Leaf management: Don’t leave debris. Mulch it fine or remove it to avoid smothering turf.
• Weed control: Post-emergent broadleaf treatments still work while soil temps are above 50°F.
• Equipment care: Start winterizing blowers, mowers, and sprayers. Drain fuel systems or stabilize them for storage.

If you’re managing warm-season turf down south, ease off fertilizing now and prep for aeration and topdressing as temps drop.
