This episode is part permaculture and part to do list home series because it speaks to using renewable resources and at the same time accomplishing a weekly chore.
- Expensive lawn care program not necessary!
- My program costs $94 per 2 years which is an 85% savings over what others have proposed
- Grass clipping to the compost bin
Easy Lawn Care begins with the right equipment and techniques
- Electric mower, trimmer and blower – no gas – no mess – no fuss
- Mow high with the blade at least 4 inches above the ground
What I’m not doing but should consider
- pH care – add sulfur for dandelion control
- problem lawn indicators like dandelions and grubs
- adding lawn enhancements such as chamomile, crocuses and yarrow

Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design.
Great choice of colors!
