Lawns can make or break a garden. They can look lush and inviting, or dry and uninviting. With the right mowing practices and equipment, it is possible to have a lovely lawn without chemicals or excessive watering.
Much of the residential lawn industry is directed by sports turf management practices. However, unlike a professional sports turf which needs to perform to a high standard while being used heavily, a residential lawn can be maintained to a different standard which reduces the need for chemicals and renovations.
The height of the lawn is very important. Too short and the soil will dry out quickly, weeds will appear and grass will yellow more easily. Too tall and the lawn can look a mess.
Recycling lawn clippings back into the lawn for certain grass types is a great way to give nutrients back to the soil as well as lessen the amount of green waste generated from mowing.
Using composted solids and liquids are a fantastic way to add and support microbes to the soil so the worms and their friends can feed the lawn naturally and create a more drought hardy area.
