U Of I Experts Offer Lawn Care Tips

The University of Illinois Extension Office is offering some summer lawn care tips.  Horticulture educator Richard Hentschel said that summertime is when you should invest in watering your yard.  He points out that having a healthy lawn will require more fertilizer and mowing more often at a taller height.  The taller grass will shield the roots from the sun a little better so your yard won’t dry out as quickly.
