Many gardeners spend considerable time and money to produce a well-groomed, attractive lawn.
Fertilizers promote root and shoot growth and produce a dark green color. When necessary, herbicides are used to control crabgrass and broadleaf weeds. While fertilization and weed control are important aspects of lawn maintenance, proper mowing is another vital key. In fact, many turfgrass problems can be traced back to poor mowing practices. Proper mowing practices over the next several months will help keep the lawn attractive and healthy.
