Take the Work Out of Yard Work

You can reduce the time and money spent maintaining your lawn with simple acts, such as cutting your lawn at the appropriate height and using slow-release fertilizers.  You can also realize large savings by changing your opinion about what constitutes a beautiful lawn.  Clover, for example, is not an undesirable.  A sprinkling of violets is quite beautiful.  It is natural in mid-summer periods for your grass to turn temporarily brown.  Remember, early lawns were inspired by grassy openings in the forest, not by golf courses or pictures in magazines.
