Caring for Healthy Grass

Water grass in the early morning to prevent evaporation and disease. Control pests by keeping grass mowed to the appropriate height and aerating the soil regularly. Fertilize grass in the spring and fall with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Prune back overgrown areas of grass to allow for better air circulation and sunlight penetration. Harvest grass clippings after mowing to use as mulch or add to the compost pile.
