'Green' Lawn Care Techniques:
Leave grass cuttings on the yard or mow leaves instead of bagging- this returns vital moisture and nutrients to the earth.
Add your used coffee grounds to the dirt around acid-loving plants, such as azaleas, in the place of chemical fertilizers.
You will mow less and it is healthier and more drought resistant. Weeds will also have a harder time taking root.
Poke holes and use as a soaker or for tying leaning or growing trees.
