Mowing tips for a greener lawn
Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2008 5:33 pm
Hi,
A few weeks ago my Mom was visiting and I was showing disgust in my lawn. I said I know I water and fertilize more than some of my neighbors, yet my lawn always seems to be more brown. What gives? My Mom, a master gardener, said the answer is simple. She said I cut my lawn too short. Hmmm.
So I took her advice and let my lawn grow longer. Low and behold, it was soon as green as my neighbors. I also had less issues with weeds. I told my Mom that if I didn't know these basic lawn tips, some of my visitors may not know them either. So she wrote an article for us (and got some required master-gardener credits for her efforts). Read her article here: http://www.mobilehomerepair.com/article_lawnmowing.html
And don't forget this article that was written a couple years ago by another member of her master gardeners group on gardening with limited space: http://www.mobilehomerepair.com/article_gardening.html
