Re: Lawn care: Fertilizer, lime, and maintenance My lawn care routine? I mow it if I have to. Otherwise it gets nothing. I prefer the "prairie" method. This summer, all my neighbors have nothing to show but dead grass. My native weeds are as green as can be. -- If someone refers to herself / himself as a "guru", they probably aren't. |

 Lurch77BBR BullyPremium join:2001-11-22 Oconto, WI kudos:4 | Your neighbors grass is not dead. It is dormant, a natural reaction to drought and heat. Come fall when the temps drop and you get some rain, their lawns will look great again.
My entire lawn was turning brown and quite ugly during the drought like conditions we had in early summer. Then we got rain, and it's back to beautiful.

Then you shouldn't mow it at all!

Grass is just considered a 'desirable' weed. |
