Grow Greener Grass

A Lush Lawn Doesn't Have to Break your Bank or the Planet

If you have or manage a lawn, mow less frequently and cut the grass longer so the top growth protects the roots. And water less frequently to force the roots to go deeper, which keeps them cooler and less susceptible to dry spell damage.

Cornmeal or diatomaceous earth can be used as an insecticide. Pull weeds before they set seed. For tough lawns, use a soil conditioner with good microorganisms and aerate to encourage soil health. Try LazyMan Liquid Soil Aerator or Soil Conditioner for an easy spray-on solution without backbreaking work, available at outsidepride.com.
