Growing Healthy Grass

• Grow grass in a sunny location with good drainage.
• Mow high to prevent scalping the grass, which causes it to die back and allows weeds to grow. Also slightly taller grass shades the soil surface, conserving water.
• Water once a week deeply with 1" of water. To measure the amount of water the grass receives, place a cup in the watering area and use the water collected inside of it as a visual reference.
• Use an organic fertilizer, such as Down To Earth's Corn Weed Blocker, once in the spring and once in the early fall. Chemical fertilizers kill off beneficial bacteria and encourage thatch.
• Add calcium lime once a year and dolomite lime every 3 or 4 years to keep soil pH neutral. Remember moss loves acidic soil, shade, and poor drainage.
• On old lawns remove the matted mass of decaying clippings, excessive top growth, and exposed roots called thatch with a power rake or vertical mower.
• Aerate all lawns once or twice a year to allow air, water, fertilizer and roots to penetrate deeper into the soil.
• After aerating, add fertilizer, spray with compost tea, and top dress with 1/2" of very fine compost.
