In the modern suburban landscape, beautiful, green lawns are
perhaps the most ubiquitous feature of all. It s difficult to
imagine a friendly neighborhood without broad, clean stretches of
neatly shorn grass. More and more in recent years, those lawns are
evolving into organic systems as homeowners concerned about the
long-term effects of chemicals on their children, their pets, and
the environment turn to natural methods to keep their yards healthy
and inviting, and, yes, still green and lush, too.
Paul Tukey, a self-confessed mowing addict, answers the growing
demand for organic grass with a comprehensive volume of natural
lawncare information. Step by step, he takes readers through the
many elements that work together to form a healthy, organic lawn.
Well-treated soil, fed properly with compost and natural
fertilizers, is the foundation of every great lawn. Plant it with a
grass cultivar matched properly to the climate and sunlight,
nourish the soil and grass with the proper amount of water, and
maintain the height with a good mower equipped with a sharp blade.
A beautiful, naturally maintained lawn can be as simple as that.
An organic, healthy lawn is the best defense against weeds and
pests, but when unwanted visitors creep in, Tukey is ready with
Weed and Thug ID Guides and advice on dispatching them naturally or
learning to live with the benign offenders. Tukey also provides
helpful advice for lawnkeepers making the transition from a
synthetic to an organic lawn system. It s all here everything today
s homeowner needs to keep his lawn off drugs, and make it an
inviting living and play area for the whole family."
