The Best Defense – A little work now can prevent major hassles in the spring

1. Water your lawn – this not only keeps your grass healthy, but can give it the head start it needs to keep the weeds at bay in the spring.
2. Clear out and replace debris – Fall has come and gone, and if all that debris is left alone, it can cause rot and attract a whole host of tiny evildoers to your lawn and landscaping.
3. Pre-treat with weed killers – The weeds are germinating right now, just waiting for spring to explode into full glory. Put a stop to that now.
4. Plant for Spring – November and December are the ideal time to plant bulbs for spring color, as deep cold actually activates the germination process.
