May Landscape Tip Lawn

Mow regularly to avoid grass from getting too tall, ideally you would like to remove 1/3” but not more than that. Change patterns when mowing to avoid getting ruts (mow front to back , side to side and diagonally. Make sure to fertilize your lawn if it has not been done yet, with temperatures rising and the turf growing at a faster rate, fertilization is key to promote a healthier lawn and root system which will reduce weeds on your lawn.

Aerification

In addition to fertile soil, plants also need water and oxygen to thrive. Many times, especially in high traffic areas, soil becomes compacted, which results in poor water and oxygen flow. A simple process, aerification, fixes the problem by creating open pockets in the soil that promote water and air movement resulting in healthier plants and soil.

Watering

This month is generally the month where temperatures are rising to 90 degrees or more. Make sure to adjust your irrigation to water from ½” to 1” depending on the area (shade versus direct sun). Normally most of the irrigation controllers have a cycle soak feature to avoid runoff. Water durning the morning hours, try to avoid evening watering since this can promote fungal diseases.

Sinuses Can Be a Pain in the Head, Not Neck

That troublesome headache might not be a migraine or brought on by tension. It could be caused by sinus trouble, said doctors at Baylor College of Medicine. “The sinuses work to humidify and cleanse the air, lighten the weight of the skull, and provide resonance to the voice. Sometimes, the sinuses fail to function correctly, leading to sinus pain caused by an infection or nasal congestion,” said Dr. Mas Takashima, assistant professor of otolaryngology at BCM and director of the Baylor Sinus Center. Sinus headaches usually occur along with congestion. Many things can cause sinus pressure and pain, such as sinus infections, nasal allergies, nasal polyps, septal deviations as well as enlarged vascular structures in the nose called turbinates. “Sinus pain can also be exacerbated by the weather or even plane travel as the pressure changes in the air around you,” said Takashima. Therapy is based on cleansing and decongesting the nose. This can be accomplished with something as simple as nasal irrigation using salt water. Steam, as found in a hot shower, may also provide decongestion and relief. If the problem is caused by infection then antibiotics are used. If it is allergy related, allergy medications may be prescribed. Occasionally surgery is required to keep the passages open.
