Time for a Garden Tip
May 15, 2007
If you are one of the persons who still does your own lawn mowing, here are some tips for a healthy lawn. Many lawns are mowed too short and/or with a dull mower blade. Higher cut grass provides a deeper root system.
Cut no more than one third of the grass blade each time you mow to avoid stress that will result in browning.
High mowing helps create a healthier lawn and helps block crabgrass and weeds.
You can safely leave clippings that will quickly decompose and add nutrients to the soil.
Change mowing patterns frequently to prevent compaction.
If you have the usual "Mow and Blow" gardeners, you might want to pay attention to how they are mowing your lawn. There is no reason for them not to follow these simple tips.
A lush lawn, green and trimmed will always improve the curb appeal of your home.
