Cut a Healthy Lawn

Now that you're mowing the lawn about once a
week it's important that you're also making sure
it will be healthy for your weekly meeting. Here
are a few tips to make sure it's in tip-top shape:
Have your lawn mower blades sharpened
before the mowing season begins (Did you?)
and check them every month. Sharp blades
make a clean cut, whereas dull blades make
ragged cuts that don't heal well.
Never mow wet grass. If it has just rained or it's
still wet from morning dew, wait a few hours
until the sun has dried up some of the moisture.
Trim before you mow. Then when you mow the
grass it will clean up the trimmings!
As a guideline, cut off about 1/3 of the grass
blades. If you keep your grass longer in the
summer, wait until it grows about an inch before
mowing.
To establish a green lawn that's the envy of your
neighbors, try using an iron supplement from
your local True Value store.

Cut the Mowing Habit

Tired of mowing all summer long? This spring,
try landscaping your lawn with beautiful
wildflowers, flowering ground covers, shrubs,
plants and lush herbs. This low-maintenance
landscaping may be the answer to your lawn
problems.
First, find a problem area (or areas) of your
lawn that could use a makeover and check with
the experts at your local True Value for the
types of plants that grow best in your area
based on the light/shade ratio.

To remove the existing grass, use a sod cutter
that peels away strips of lawn. (If some of the
grass is in good shape you can use it to sod
another area.) Spread topsoil over the area
and then spread enough seeds to grow a rich
covering; or plant enough plants that will spread
out over time and cover the entire area.

Here a just a few plants to consider:


Winter Creeper thrives in sun & partial shade
and grows rapidly to make a great cover in
finicky areas such as banks or hilly areas
Mother-of-thyme is an herb that grows to a
height of one to two inches high with purple
flowers that have a sweet fragrance during the
summer
Wild seed mixtures offer great coverage and
are very easy to maintain
English Ivy can cover an area in no time and
grows on trees or creeps onto the side of a
house to provide a vibrant sweeping green
covering.
