Default All yards are not the same: Choosing your grass wisely

First things first. Before you can care for a lawn, you must plant one.
And, there are several things to keep in mind when choosing what type
of grass seed to purchase. This is because that grass seed can grow
into very different lawns. This difference could mean a lawn filled
with pests and weeds, or one that is low maintenance and looks great.
Here are some factors that you should take in consideration while in
the seed aisle at your local home and garden store.
First of all, you should determine what your ideal yard will look like,
as grasses can vary in color, leaf width, characteristic and growth
density. Each little blade adds up! Second, you must consider how much
time and money you really are ready to spend on your lawn. The higher
the maintenance lawn, the more you will need to put into it. This is a
very important factor. Third, your specific growing conditions will
affect which seed you should choose. Things like the amount of sun,
shade, rain, soil type, humidity and moisture can affect how your lawn
grows. Finally, what will you be using your lawn for Your investment
may differ if you lawn is a play area or for show, or even for erosion
control.
Once you determine these needs, you will be armed with the information
you need to make you decision on your seed. It all grows up from there!
And, if it grows, it must be mowed -- stay tuned for secrets on THAT.
Hint: it's not what you expect.

Good morning or good evening depending upon your location. I want to ask you the most important question of your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good [email protected] United Kingdom 0 22-04-2005 04:07 AM
