Tall Fescue or Barmuda Grass Plantation And Maintenance


Tall Fescue is a winter grass that remains green and grows best in moist environments. It is drought tolerant and can adapt a wide range of soils except for clay soil which is high in organic matter.

Culture & Planting:

A well-prepared seedbed is essential to well-drained soil and abundant afternoon shade. Steps should be taken before planting to eliminate undesirable grasses. Early fall is the perfect time to establish tall fescue from either seed or sod. Although tall fescue tolerates low fertility particularly nitrogen.

Watering:

Proper watering is very important for its survival. Apply enough water to wet the soil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Now allow the water to percolate into the soil. Repeat this cycle until the soil is sufficiently moistened. Tall fescue requires frequent watering during summer months when there is inadequate rainfall.

Pests:

Tall fescue is fairly tolerant to most turfgrass diseases. However, brown patch can be a problem during rainy season. Once the disease is properly identified, treat the lawn with a fungicide.

Over seeding: 

Many tall fescue lawns become thin after summer. So mow the lawn to a height of 2 inches before broadcasting seed. Apply seeds and fertilize. These steps are usually adequate to rejuvenate the lawn. After seeding, keep the soil moist for 2 to 3 weeks.
