Some of the most important nutrients can be added to your lawn simply by leaving the clipped grass pieces on the lawn. While many people worry that adding grass clippings or mulched leaves and branches will add or promote thatch to the lawn, but this is not true. For the most part, the more nutrients the better, and lawn clippings are best suited to support the living lawn.
When mowing your grass, try not to mow the entire backyard, but rather 1/3 of the overall yard. Also, cover a different 1/3 of the yard each time you mow. For example, if you begin at a 3 o'clock position in your yard and go to a 7 o'clock position one time, start at 5 or 6 and go to 11. You will have a healthier lawn by keeping the mowing pattern varied.
Try to remove new weeds before they get older, more established and just plain harder to remove.
Most lawns need about 1-2 inches of water each week. By watering the lawn early in the morning (4-9AM) it doesn't have a chance to encourage mold or fungus like nighttime watering does. This also keeps the sun from burning up all the moisture, thus robbing your lawn and your pocketbook.
The use of commercial fertilizer certainly can be overdone while more natural nutrients like those from compost or grass clippings really can't be overdone. Don't overdo the recommended doses of fertilizer for your lawn or you run the risk of poisoning your lawn n the long term.
Beside cutting grass better and more consistently, powerful and efficient lawn mowers have lower gas emissions, which is better for the environment. A manual or electric mower is even better for the environment of course, but there are other performance issues that come along with these other mower types that you must consider yourself before making those decisions. onkeyup="cntWords(this,document.postform.c)"> onkeyup="cntWords(this,document.postform.c)">
