Organic Lawn-Care Basics

These environmentally friendly tips will keep your lawn green and healthy.

Lawn
 

Choose the Right Grasses

Focus on mixtures of grasses adapted to your region. A mix of grasses ensures that a disease problem won't affect every blade of turf in your lawn. And focus on your conditions: Almost all grasses prefer full sun, but a few, including fine fescues, tolerate some shade.

Remember that sometimes, the best grass is no grass -- and using ground covers or planting beds makes the most sense.
