Whether
your yard serves as an impromptu recreational
park or is just for personal enjoyment, its
appearance and vigor are important. Keeping
it healthy is more a matter of sticking to
basic management practices than of looking
to chemical solutions. The importance of paying
attention to mowing height of the lawn, aeration,
drainage, irrigation, and fertilization really
can't be stressed enough. Coupling these practices
with use of suitable plant and grass cultivars
and healthy soil will give your landscape
an advantage over the harmful microorganisms
normally found in most landscapes.
