Winter Lawn Care

Like your lawn? Don't park on it this winter. Soil compaction is the number one result and weeds are the number one result of soil compaction which means next Spring you'll be unimpressed when your lawn has uninvited guests. Btw - when the weeds do spring up, please don't spray roundup or any other herbicide on it. Besides polluting the underground waterways and endangering the livelihood of your family it actually destroys the micro-organisms and worms in your soil, without whom nothing would grow. Once these unpaid farmers are gone, your infertile soil will be an even larger breeding ground for weeds creating a vicious chemical cycle all the folks at roundup are banking on. I say make your soil rich instead. Unless of course you have shares in Roundup.
