The Everything Lawn Care Book: From Seed to Soil, Mowing to Fertilizing-Hundreds of Tips for Growing a Beautiful Lawn (Everything Series)

Rating:
Summary: Use the Internet
Review: Have a new house and wanted to spruce up the lawn. We were told so many different tips that this book seemed like it would set us straight. Well, the first chunk of the book covers the anatomy of grass. I suppose it's useful to know, but was very detailed. The author even goes into detail on distinguishing grasses from one another, but admits you'd need to sit in your yard with a magnifying glass. We were told to use lime to raise the PH and spur growth. There is NO MENTION of lime in this book at all. My advice: Surf the Web. Bob Vila has a good site and talks about lawncare--including the use of lime.
