Book Reviews of Lawns
Book Review: Great Advice
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently moved into a new house where the previous owner kept great care of the lawn. Along with the whole neighborhood. To start off, i knew nothing about ferilizing, watering, and mowing the correct height. My old philosophy was to try and cut it shorter each time so that i wouldn't have to mow again anytime soon. Needless to say watering and fertilizing was out of the question. This book teaches you everything you need to know in order to grow and maintain a beautiful lawn. Here are some of the key points the book makes about maintaining a healthy lawn.
Fertilizing 4 times a year (spring, summer, fall, and winter)
Watering methods
mowing the correct height
making patterns with a lawn roller (really cool)
These are just some of the main points that really make a HUGE difference in your yard. With time and patience you will be on your way to a great looking lawn. Do yourself a favor, buy this book and take all the guess work out of yard work. Believe it or not you will become obsessed with how your lawn looks!
