We’ve all heard about serious gardeners who make their own compost and put up water barrels around their house to save the environment and money.   Here are a few easy tips for the rest of us that just want to have a nice lawn.

• Keep the blades on your mower high. This encourages root growth for your lawn which will make your grass hardier and in turn prevent weeds.

• Use newspaper and mulch to prevent weeds in your flower beds instead of landscaping fabric or sprays. Place 20-24 sheets of newspaper over your bare bed area, soak with water and cover with mulch. The newspaper and mulch block weed growth and keep the soil moist for your flowers and plants.

• Check your local municipalities. Some areas offer free mulch and compost at local landfills.

• Ask an expert. Ask for help at your local nursery when choosing the right plants and flowers for your yard. Consider sun and water needs when choosing your plants. You don’t want to waist money on plants that are not going to thrive in your yard.
