Title: Best time to plant Habiturf in Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:
When is the best time to plant Habiturf seeds?ANSWER:
Spring, perhaps mid-April. Just in case you are not already in tune with soil prep and seeding of Habiturf, please read our How-To Article on Native Lawns: Habiturf, the Ecological Lawn. You should be working now on preparing the site, and hope the rains keep coming to get the soil ready.
