Lawn Care ArticlesClick on the lawn care articles below for common sense solutions to growing a healthy lawn. Learn about push mowing, fertilizers, weed control and more! A Time Machine That Also Cuts Grass - Before I knew it, I was a grown-up with a lawn of my own. My husband mowed it once a week with his "consumer magazine researched" power mower.Organic Lawn Fertilizers vs. ChemLawn - Is it really necessary to fertilize lawns? For most homeowners, the answer is yes. But if you have a well-structured soil, full of worms and other soil life, and you can leave most of your clippings to decompose, then your fertilizer needs will be minimal. Now for a Reel Workout - It was the start of grass-cutting season, and I was preparing my power mower for its annual tear around the garden. I'm a reel-mower enthusiast now, but for the last few years I have brought out the heavy artillery for the first cutting of the year - usually because I'm late getting at it and the lawn is looking more and more like a prairie. How to Control Weeds - It is unrealistic to think that we can have a garden or a lawn that is entirely weed free. We need to manage weeds so they don't become an overwhelming problem. This means tolerating some weeds in some situations. Mowing Down My Troubles - When my wife and I moved into our first house, my biggest concern was not that it needed paint, or that the driveway was rutting out, or that the carport was infested with spiders - though all of that was true. No, my biggest concern was the yard. It's a fairly small yard, only about a quarter-acre; most of the lot is wooded. But however small the yard, however shady and littered with rocks and stumps, I was still going to have to buy a lawn mower. And I really, really didn't want to buy a lawn mower. The Grass is Greener with Organic Lawn Care - What's there not to like about organic lawn care? It's relatively cheap. It's better for the environment and it takes less work than your traditional well-manicured lawn. Mow Down Pollution - Yard care season has begun for most of the country, and that's bad news for the environment. Lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, chain saws and leaf blowers emit carbon monoxide, smog-forming hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. Don't Bag It: The Lawn Maintenance Plan - The Don't Bag It lawn care plan can save the homeowner time, energy and money, and reduce the amount of waste going to our landfills. The principle is simple - return clippings to your lawn. By leaving your clippings on the lawn and allowing them to work their way back into soil, you can realize these benefits and still maintain a beautiful, green lawn. Push Mowers Hit the Grass Again - "There's a thing about the lawn mower I can't even tell you, but to me it's the most beautiful sound in the world, the freshest sound of the season, the sound of summer, and I'd miss it fearfully if it wasn't there." So said Grandpa in Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine. Spending Quiet Time in Your Yard - I marvel at the ability of certain neighbors to fire up their power mowers at just the moment when, drink in hand, I step out onto my back porch to enjoy a summer evening. |
