[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1418317, member: 17304"] Where on this planet are you located? If you have fescue, then I would recommend clipping it, not too short but fairly high....as was mentioned already. When a plant goes to seed, its internal clock tells it to stop growing because it has achieved its goal of reproduction. Clipping it keeps it growing more leaves as well as more roots. If you allow the grass to stand there seeded out till it turns brown, not only does it stop growing, but it will begin to atrophy......the same as a muscle you don't use anymore, like someone who is bedridden. I let some stand all last year till late fall....big mistake IMO. It would have been much better this spring and last fall if it had been clipped 2 or 3 times during the year. [/QUOTE]
