As Spring is upon us here in the Midwest most of the time, now, time has come to consider those things outside the doors and windows.
Yardwork Cometh.
The April 5th Chicago Tribune ran an article on ten things you can do to have a water-wise lawn, where you don't have to water as much.
1. Mow it high
2. Get a Rain Gauge
3. Check how wet (dig up a piece and check moisture)
4. Get sturdy grass-- fescue good, bluegrass not so good
5. Establish grass well-- should only have to water new grass and seed a lot
6. Seek out good sod
7. Embrace summer dormancy
8. Water long and deep
9. Fertilize, but not too much
10. And work on the soil-- top-dress it
