Tips for natural, healthy lawns:
Mow High and Mow Often.
Set your mowing height at 5 or 6 cm and mow your lawn often. Never remove more than 1/3 of the total grass blade this can stress the grass. Longer grass provides shade to protect your lawn roots.
Mow and go!
Leave the clippings on the lawn. This is known as grasscycling and can supply almost 25 percent of the fertilizer needed by your lawn.
Water Roots Deeply
Water thoroughly, but infrequently (about 2x/week for 30 mins)
Early morning is the best time to water because the grass leaves will most effectively absorb the moisture.
