Lawn Care On A Budget

You do not need to spend a lot of money on a lawn care service. You can do it yourself. Besides saving money, it can be very therapeutic. I have found a very helpful website that will email you the schedule for your lawn, there are videos and articles. The website is www.Scotts.com Check it out I am sure you will find it as helpful as I did.
Here are some tips for lawn care.

Mow grass to a height of 2-3 inches.
Leave the clippings on your grass, it’s good for the earthworms who naturally aerate the roots and is a good source of nitrogen.
Start a compost pile of unwanted growth to put use as mulch around flowers.
Apply organic fertilizer.
Water deeply, at least one to one and a half inches per week.
Patch bare areas with seed or sod.
Aerate where needed.
Control thatch by “vertical” mowing.
