A Healthy Lawn

The way to keep your lawn healthy in hot dry summer is to not mow it so short. Sometimes, I think people feel if they mow it short enough, they just won't have to do it as often. Well they are partially correct because it dries up when the rains stop and turns brown and you don't have to mow. Our neighbor leaves his at least 3 inches long and he says he has to mow more often but his is the only green lawn on the block. I haven't been able to convince my husband yet that is the correct way to mow the lawn. He still mows it too short.
