EARTH-FRIENDLY LAWN CARE

摘要

For many homeowners, turfgrass is a necessary evil However, a lawn has a number of desirable characteristics that include environmental cooling, erosion control, and recreational use. I try to remind myself of these while I'm pushing the mower every week during the summer I'm fairly typical when it comes to lawn care: I want it to look nice without being high maintenance. I mow on Saturday and water during the week in hot weather. I fertilize in the spring and fall and watch for evidence of grubs and foliar diseases. Because I don't want to spend that much time on my lawn, I look for easy maintenance techniques that do not sacrifice the health and quality of the turf.
