When we first put an offer on our home in April the lawn was still lush and green. Fast forward to the end of May when we closed and the lawn was looking pretty dismal. The summer heat had already began to take its toll! You better believe I went to the Internet in search of lawn care tips and tricks to bring my yard back!
Loved finding infographics and advice like this from companies like Nature’s Seed. I had no idea that corn gluten meal could be used as a natural weed and feed! Definitely going to give that a try next spring! Thanks to tips like these our lawn is looking much greener … now to take care of those weeds and unpack all the boxes inside! At least the lawn is taken care of!

I don’t have any lawn tips, but I’m eager to learn some! We’re moving next week from an apartment to a house with a large backyard. I’m looking forward to grass!

Wow, I learned so much from this post. My husband takes care of our lawn, but I am definitely sending him this.

What’s funny is my male Shih-Tzu squats when he pees. I didn’t know a few of those but I have a lawn that is totally dead now. I need to get it together next year.

Woah – so many things I didn’t know. Might have to try the milk on a small patch in our yard. Our condo people don’t seem to care that it doesn’t match all of the new sod they recently put down.

This is great info to know, thank you for passing it along! I pinned it, because we have some work to do on our lawn!

I was going to disagree with the sand in clay…but I think this is right. However, my last garden I inherited from a man who spent years pouring sand into it, and I will tell you, that was the best garden I’ve ever had! But thinking back, it was still extremely claylike, and hard when dry.

My lawn has always struggled to stay green despite the use of my sprinkler system. I’m thinking that I may need to use some kind of fertilizer to help my lawn out a bit. I appreciate you debunking some of the lawn care myths. It’s good to know that corn gluten is a good weed and feed, and that fungi and clover are actually helpful to the lawn. Thanks!
