cutting

and root growth.... the key to a healthy lawn

i can hardly keep up with the lawn.... this year

with it raining constantly....

but i have noticed that many home owners mow it
real short like it's a putting green at a golf course.

i try to keep it at around 3 inches and have no fungus.

in springtime:

i let it grow to six inches before i cut it back to four.
this shades out the weeds completely

then it's just a maintenance cut of one inch...

the longer the blade of grass you have the more
photosynthesis each grass plant can maintain.
