Arrow try clover seed

clover improves a lawn...

it makes these tiny little root nodules
that take atmospheric nitrogen right out
of the air...like mini taters that eventually
break down adding nitrogen to the lawn.

the best fertilizer is your fall leaves ground up
with a mulching mower (to confetti size)
..never rake them
(
except when your about to mulch them all)
thats a huge mistake! let the worms eat them instead !

my healthiest patches of lawn is where i dump
the leftover (half eaten) cage bird seed....

my other rule...is
never mow the lawn unless its gonna rain.

I've got a crabgrass invasion going on myself. I don't fertilize and I only cut the grass when it goes to seed, which is now, but I have heard that a healthy lawn is one that has a little bit of everything in it, not a homogenous/all one type of grass, like a golf course. I'll probably give it some fertilizer in the fall, like a winter feeding type and be done with it. My neighbors probably hate me but I just can't spend the $$$ on a lawn only to spend more to cut it, plus it doesn't look all that bad since I have lilies and all kinds of pretty plants and shrubs and trees to divert the eyes.
