Go Green . . .How to Get a “Green”LawnWe all l ike a nicegreen lawn. Whatabout a “green”lawn? The fertilizeror weed killer youuse can impact our water quality. Considerthese tips to a “green” lawn:

• Don’t bag grass. Clippings left on thelawn add nitrogen and reduce fertilizer use.

• Keep it long. Long grasses shade weeds.Mow no closer than 3 inches to reduce pes-ticide use.

• Use natural herbicides. Boiling water,soap solutions and vinegar can kill manyweeds on contact.

• Water well. Lawns need about one inchof water to be well irrigated. Make a watergauge – a cup or container with a ruler –and use a timer to figure out how long thesprinkler has to run to get to one inch.Water no more than once per week.

• Water wisely. It is not necessary to waterin hot, dry weather when grass goes dormant;dormant grass will recover in the fall.

• Consider a rain barrel. Collect waterfrom roof and eave downspouts and use towater your lawn. Be sure to use a deepcollection barrel, however, to avoid creat-ing a habitat for mosquitoes.
