OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. — North Florida lawns can be challenging, but homeowners can learn how to diagnose and correct common problems during two UF/IFAS Extension seminars scheduled for July 25.
The University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Extension Office will host two “What’s Wrong with My Lawn?” seminars on Saturday, July 25, to help homeowners identify the causes of declining or unhealthy lawns and learn practical solutions.
The seminars will be presented by Larry Williams, UF/IFAS Extension Agent for Okaloosa County. According to Mr Williams, many homeowners rely on guesswork when trying to determine why their lawns are struggling, often making problems worse and increasing maintenance costs.
Participants will learn how to recognize and address several of the most common causes of lawn decline, including soil compaction, nutrient imbalances, lawn diseases, insect pests, and improper lawn maintenance practices.
