Green and Healthy Grass

Does anyone have a method for lawn care which makes your grass look green and healthy?

Thanks, Paula

You're going to get a lot of feedback on this one. I am leaving feedback to tell you that grass is seasonal, you either have winter grass or summer grass. Fertilize grass S.O.D. Sept. Oct & Dec. (hopefully organic) co-operative extension in your local area can tell you which grass does best in your area. (09/20/2004)

My husband mows on a high setting so the grass stays high but neatly trimmed. This keeps the moisture in the grass and we never have to water it. It stays green all summer, maybe not as green as the best lawn on the block, but still very green. We live in NC so we are a little more humid and wet than some other areas. (09/21/2004)

Broadcast Ammonium Nitrate very lightly and water in well. If you put too much on, it will temporarily turn your grass brown. But a light application will make your grass grow green and healthy. Be prepared to mow twice as often. The bonus is that it also eliminates a tick and chigger problem. (09/23/2004)
