My good friend, Gary Boyer, sent me some tips that I would like to share:
- Your lawn should be aerated regularly to break up any compacted soil to enable oxygen, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper for healthy root growth.
- Water before sunrise and no wind. Make sure your lawn receives even water coverage to avoid dry spots which eventually will produce unsightly brown spots.
- Fertilize throughout the year using organic and natural lawn fertilizer.
- Mow lawn when the grass is dry. Keep grass long when temperatures are high. Taller grass grows more slowly and shades the roots which reduces the amount of water needed.
- If bare spots occur, thatch and cover with compost or topsoil. Apply a natural oil conditioner to promote healthy plant growth and sprinkle with seeds and keep well watered until growth is seen.
