different) and it revives wonderfully as soon as the fall rains appear.

Other than a weekly mowing in season, my lawn requires NO OTHER WORK.

In case people find that hard to believe, I have not fertilized or
watered my lawn for at least 20 years.

I use a mulching mower and cut the grass 3 inches high.

I live in central PA, and all you gardeners probably know about the
droughts we've had. My lawn stayed green. I think it's because the
grass was forced to send roots down deep, where they can find a bit of
moisture even in the driest times.

Over the years, I've probably saved a thousand bucks and a hell of a
lot of work.
