- Fertilize moderately with organic products in spring and again in early fall to encourage root growth.
- Aerate. Soil compaction invites weeds and makes it difficult for air and water to enter the soil. Once your soil is returned to good health, the earthworms and birds will help keep it aerated. If a screwdriver will not push easily into your soil, it is too compacted.
- Water your lawn less often but for a longer duration to encourage deeper roots.
- Mowing the grass high will keep the sun out enough to discourage weeds from germinating and encourage deeper roots. Leaving the clippings on the lawn will add nitrogen to the soil.
- Think about replacing portions of your lawn with ornamental grasses, native prairie plants, flowers and bushes. These are often easier to maintain, can add beauty, and attract birds and beneficial insects.
