Spring Garden Tips from AllAboutLawns.com Forum Help Ensure Healthy Lawns

(PRWEB) May 4, 2007 -- Warmer weather requires lawn care and maintenance in order to ensure a healthy lawn all year long, and AllAboutLawns.com, a comprehensive lawn and yard care resource, offers answers and lawn care advice to caretakers and gardeners. The lawn care forums on AllAboutLawn.com, moderated by Dawn West, allow visitors to post pictures of their own lawns and get the tips and help they need to grow a healthier lawn (http://www.allaboutlawns.com/forum).

One gardener on AllAboutLawn.com's Residential Lawn Care Forum (http://www.allaboutlawns.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1409) asked, "Does this seem normal to you? Does grass usually get like this?" of the brown patches on her lawn. The visitor learned that she might need to overseed her lawn to get the results she wanted. Another visitor directed her to photos of a common lawn disease.

In the same forum, a homeowner posted eight photos of his lawn and asked for help: "We've lived in the home for three years. (The) first two years the lawn looked ok. However last year the lawn has taken a HUGE turn for the worse. We've tried nitrate fertilizer and we had Scotts come out, but the lawn got WORSE!!! ... We need HELP!!! BAD!!!" (http://www.allaboutlawns.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1420) Though this homeowner hopes that his lawn problems will be fixed by his new sprinkler system, both West and another visitor were able to give specific suggestions.

Experts at Cornell University emphasize the importance of spring lawn care and stipulate that, "poorly managed lawns -- whether by neglect or through the overuse of fertilizers and pesticides -- can be an environmental liability." During an average year, 60 percent of annual lawn growth occurs during a six-week period in spring. Getting the right advice at the beginning of the season can make all the difference in a healthy lawn as spring is when the root systems of most grasses begin to come out of winter dormancy and start to grow.

AllAboutLawns.com is a comprehensive lawn and yard care resource. Visitors can ask staff questions in the lawn forum or benefit from hundreds of articles on seasonal lawn care, grass types, weed prevention, mowers and other lawn maintenance equipment.
