Natural Lawn Care Tips:
- Water Deeply and Infrequently: To encourage deep root growth - one inch per week is ideal. Water early in the morning to minimize disease problems.
- Mow High: Keep your lawn mowed at three inches or higher. This will increase the root strength and naturally shade out weeds.
- Use Organic Fertilizers: Commercial fertilizers easily wash away, polluting nearby lake and streams. Many contain toxic weed killers. Keep grass clippings on the lawn as they are an excellent natural fertilizer.
- Weed Naturally: Avoid using pesticides, as they can harm other beneficial living things such as bees, birds and fish. The right tool makes quick work of weeding. After pulling weeds, use grass seed and soil to fill in the hole.
