Lawn Care
<p>While surfing the web recently I discovered these instructions for lawn care. Well I sure learned something, I need to change the way I care for our lawn. So, in a nutshell:</p>
<p><b>Must do:</b></p>
<ul>
  <li>Set your mower as high as it will go (3 to 4 inches).</li>
  <li>Water only when your grass shows signs of drought stress and then water deeply (put a cup in your sprinkler zone and make sure it gets at least an inch of water).</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Optional:</b></p>
<ul>
  <li>Fertilize with an organic fertilizer in the fall and spring. I recommend the Ringer brand.</li>
  <li>Have the pH of your soil professionally tested. Add lime if it is below 6.0 and gardener's sulfur if it is above 7.0.</li>
  <li>How much top soil do you have? See how deep a shovel will go into the soil. How deep can you dig a hole in one minute? If you have less than four inches of soil, you must add topsoil.</li>
</ul>
