Tip of the Day - Keep Your Lawn Long

Next time you mow the lawn, raise the blade on your mower to a height of three or four inches.

According to an article from Cornell University’s Chronicle Online, longer grass is more resistant to drought because the roots grow deeper into the soil. Longer grass is also better able to fight off weeds without the help of chemical weed killers.

I keep my lawn long because it’s eco-friendly. Sounds a lot better than procrastination, doesn’t it?

Another Eco-Friendly Tip from Allie.
