Beneficial Lawn Care
|
This program is aimed at YOU: the individual home owner.
It provides information about two paths to lawn care:
EVOLUTIONARY: the best "conventional" wisdom for efficient use of water, chemicals and machinery to maintain a familiar grass lawn,
and
REVOLUTIONARY: tools and techniques that can largely eliminate the use of additional water and chemicals to provide an attractive home landscape.
The program does not require you to follow a particular approach, but allows you to pick and choose, judging for yourself. It also connects you with thousands
of Internet sources and extension publications for further information.
Covering the full range of approaches, techniques, equipment and technologies available to make lawns beautiful and owners proud, this program
incorporates advanced concepts such as:
Environmental impacts of alternative lawn care practices
Basics for homeowners: Getting started with lawn care
Basics for professional landscaping or large areas
Soil, grass and weather
Starting a new lawn
Maintaining your lawn
