Spring, Baseball, Lawn Mowers…

Posted by Danny, on April 4th, 2008, at 8:53 am

Dave Vander Heyden, the grounds manager at Raley Field, mows the infield.Spring… songbirds are tuning up, trees are budding, baseballs are popping into catchers mitts…

Speaking of baseball (can you ever do that enough?)… the Sacramento Bee has an article of lawn care tips including some from Dave Vander Heyden, grounds manager for the baseball home of the Sacramento River Cats baseball team

Keep the mower blade sharp, Vander Heyden says. Dull blades tear grass. Sharp blades cut them.

Beware of putting too much nitrogen on your lawn, Vander Heyden says. “Sure, it makes the blades deep green, but all you’re doing is pushing leaf growth, and the grass can’t sustain that forever. You want healthy grass and a healthy root system.”

There’s more.

The boys in the back here are getting ready here for the spring rush of lawn mower maintenance that will be coming our way. If you haven’t already, now is the time to change the oil, air filter and spark plug, drain old gas and sharpen the blade. Take care of your lawn mower, and you will get mow for your money.

HAPPY FEBRUARY

By Natalie Davis on February 2, 2010

Under the “B” … June 1 

                 I’ve tried to follow BINGO rules and BINGO raids.  I’m not sure I understand the law, nor do I get the motives of many of the principal players.  I bet many of you know a heck of a lot more about this than I.  But one thing I am [...]
