The Grass is Not Always Greener

Hello there and welcome to Milo’s Turf Tips. As you can see from looking at my bio, I’m a television newscaster in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I’m writing this blog because I’ve always wanted that perfect green lawn, but it pretty much always has evaded me. I’ve gotten lucky a couple of times in the decade or so that I’ve been a homeowner, but it was just that: luck. I just happened to put down some fertilizer right before a good rain and the weed killer was doing its job at the same time.

So I’m finally going to call in some experts to help me out and along the way I hope you’ll learn something too. I’ll be posting articles and videos as I follow their advice. One of my goals is to help fellow Grand Forks residents figure out the best way to grow grass in our short growing season here in the upper-upper Midwest. I assume some of our issues are unique to this area, but if you are checking in from somewhere else, maybe you can learn something too.

This site will be cross-promoted on WDAZ News at Five throughout the summer, but you’ll find extra content here on this blog. Check back for weekly updates and leave a comment if you like. If you have a question you’d like me to ask of my experts, you can email me at msmith@wdaz.com. Here’s hoping we all have the greenest grass ever by fall.
