A large amount of valuable nutrients can be added to your lawn simply by leaving the clipped grass pieces on the lawn. Some of you might think 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 nourish the living lawn.
Each time you mow 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 start 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.
Every week, most lawns need about 1-2 inches of water. Try to water the lawn early in the morning (5-8AM) so it doesn't have a chance to encourage mold or fungus like like it does when you water it at nightfall. This also keeps the sun from burning up all the moisture, thus robbing your lawn and your pocketbook.
While more natural nutrients like those from compost or grass clippings really can't be overdone, the use of commercial fertilizer certainly can 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.
Not only do powerful and efficient lawn mowers cut grass better and more consistently, but they have lower 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)">
