Let’s talk lawns, subscribers. If you fertilize your own or have a lawn service company push the spreader, you should know the basics. And seeing that the first-round application is close to closing as this article prints, it’s time to get spreading. But the biggest advice is this; if you’re going to spend the money fertilizing, please don’t cut your lawn short! You can have a beautiful looking lawn that’s full and tall… and still look like a carpet.

A native North American perennial wildflower that's tall, slim with fluffy golden flower spikes in various shades of yellow.
