From the Back Cover:
The Healthy Lawn Handbook provides all the information you need to transform a lawn from a weed-ridden, patchy object of frustration to the envy of the neighborhood. Beginning with the best varieties of grasses for different climates and conditions, The Healthy Lawn Handbook goes on to present a thorough survey of the several methods of planting a lawn - seeding, sodding, sprigging, and plugging - and explains the advantages and disadvantages of each one. There is also plenty of clear, practical advice about identifying and controlling a broad range of lawn pests, diseases, and weeds.The key to a healthy lawn, as Winward shows, is the right kind of maintenance - a proper balance of mowing, aeration, watering and fertilizing - for which he offers dozens of professional tips from his years of experience caring for lawns of all kinds. With everyone from the novice to the veteran in mind, he answers key questions like: which lawn mowers break down the least; how often should you cut your lawn; should you leave the clippings; why is it better to water at night; what's the best method for spreading fertilizer?There is an extensive section on organic lawn care, an invaluable state-by-state assessment of lawn-care strategies and a regional lawn-care calendar with specific tips for lawn-owners from Arizona to Maine. Complete with a full-color insert with inspiring and instructional photographs, this handbook will provide the average home gardener with the know-how to achieve a showcase lawn. (7 x 10, 176 pages, color photos, illustrations)
