Scott County Purdue Extension Educator for Ag & Natural Resources, Tom Springstun, is considering conducting a program titled D-I-Y (Do It Yourself) Lawncare. But he needs to gauge the level of interest in participating in this program.
DIY Lawncare is a four-week, two hours per session course designed for homeowners, property renters, and homeowner associations. Session topics include: Basics of Taking Care of Lawns; Lawn Pests and Problems; Weed Identification and Management; and Seeding Establishment and Lawn Renovation.
So, whether you are new or experienced at lawncare, understanding the basics of turf management will help you create a lawn that others will look at with envy! This series is where you will receive the skills and knowledge on the turf management basics needed to lay the groundwork for creating, establishing, and maintaining your lawn.
If you are interested in this program, contact Springstun by next Tuesday, Feb. 1 at the Extension Office at (812) 752-8450, or tsprings@purdue.edu.
Please leave your contact info along with which day of the week, and what time of day (morning vs. afternoon or evening) best suits your schedule. Once responses are received a decision on the dates, time and place will be made and communicated back to those interested. Depending on the number of persons enrolling, an anticipated cost of $20 per participant is expected as a cost for the program.
