Fertilization
Regular fertilization throughout the year is necessary to maintain a healthy lawn.
The number of applications of fertilization needed will vary from location to location and will also depend on the type of grass and soil conditions.
fertilization throughout the year will help your lawn to replenish nutrients and color depleted during the winter, reduce stress caused by drought and heat and develop strong healthy grass roots that survive from year to year.
Fresh Gas
Fresh Gas — Fresh gas (87 or higher octane rated) is critical to an engine’s performance. To fill the mower’s tank, use a clean funnel to draw gasoline from either a one- or two- gallon gas can. Plastic gas cans are a good choice because they won’t rust. If you own a five-gallon gas tank, dispose of it properly; the problem with a five- gallon can is that it provides the user with more than a 30-day fuel supply. Gas that is older than 30 days may affect engine performance. Moisture buildup and octane loss can lead to gum deposits in the engine’s fuel lines and carburetor, which can lead to poor engine performance.
Say no to Pesticides
Caring for your lawn without synthetic chemicals is easy and doesn’t have to be costly. You’ll be pleased with the results, especially if you aren’t in a big hurry to achieve that “golf course” look, or if you enjoy the pleasant naturalized color and texture variation that comes with a healthy mixture of plants.
Read the Labels!
Before you purchase a lawn product, read the whole label. The label contains ingredient lists, safety and handling information, and instructions for use and disposal. If the product says it is a hazard to humans or the environment, it is best to avoid it.
