- Watering ... only if needed.
Let the top surface of the soil dry out...this will encourage deep-rooted, stress-tolerant grass.
- Rake leaves into the grass.
Chopped up, they make a great mulch for gardens.
- Seed the lawn if necessary.
As with fertilizer, buying quality grass seed pays off in a thicker lawn. Use a good quality mixture to patch bare spots, or spread overall late in fall or early spring. Rake lightly to ensure the seed contacts the soil, apply a starter fertilizer and water as necessary to keep the lawn from drying out.
- Definition of an Organic Lawn: An organic lawn is treated and maintained without the use of any harmful chemicals or toxic products. Natural fertilizers, weed control and insect control products are used in conjunction with nature to grow a vigorous and healthy lawn.
- Mushrooms and toadstools are actually a good sign--they indicate a high level of soil fertility and point to a long future of healthy grass growing in good, moist soil. The mushrooms and toadstools appear when a certain set of rather poorly understood climatic
conditions occur. As soon as those conditions change, the mushrooms will disappear. Though they are unsightly, they pose no threat to your lawn. Treat them like a trophy--they mean that whoever prepared your soil prior to planting did it right, and they mean that whoever manages your turf is doing that right, too.
