Too green, or not too green: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to maintain
That well-kept lawn at outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of weeds,
And by opposing end them? To weed, to feed;
No more; and by a leap to say we end
The heart-break and the thousand natural cures
That lawn is heir to, "tis a consummation
Devoutly to be mowed. To weed, to feed...
The reasons to love your lawn are many. With good care, lawns contribute to your family's well-being and to our environment. For starters, growing green plants cleans the air. Grass is great at removing carbon and other impurities from the atmosphere. Thriving lawns keep enriching the soil by providing a home for beneficial micro-organisms and insects. These good critters eat nature's leftovers and recycle nutrients back into the soil. They pollinate plants and serve as food for other animals. Grass is like a natural air conditioner that cools the air as it releases water vapor through its blades. The water evaporates and draws heat, cooling the air in the process.
Caring for the environment starts in our own backyard. Growing a strong, thriving lawn is simple and safe. When we care for our lawn, we help build a cooler, cleaner environment and an inviting space for our families to enjoy.
Tips for a well-kept lawn:
- Fertilize organically
- Areate consistently
- Water properly
- Mow effectively
Live, love, and enjoy!
