if you have children and pets it's much
easier to not worry about having a perfect
lawn and instead just keep it mowed
regularly. saves a lot of unneeded
chemicals too.

often poor and compacted lawns are created
by people who keep cutting and removing the
clippings. instead, cut regularly and leave
the clippings. the worms will eventually turn
them into healthier topsoil.

every time it rains there is a bit of
fertilizer in the rain. you don't need to
feed a lawn if it gets regular rains.

a mixed lawn of various plants is much more
interesting than just grasses and requires no
chemical treatments at all. just keep mowing
and that which can survive such treatment will
be what you end up with. simple, inexpensive
and much less bother.
