Some healthy lawn tips from Master Gardener, Betty Sanders.
1. Stop using herbicides and pesticides. They kill the bacteria and fungi that make up healthy soil.
Also, most insects are not pests. Actually, hungry birds are the best "insecticide." Worms are working constantly to aerate the soil and we don't want to hurt them either. Keep grass at 3 inches high. Grass is meant to go dormant in the summer and the grubs will die. A copy of all of Betty's tips is at the Reference Desk in the Green Grant notebook.
