GRASS FACTS Turf grass is a simple plant that grows from seeds. Consider your climate and how you will use your lawn to select the optimal grass for your needs. Your lawn absorbs gaseous fossil fuel pollution and traps dust and dirt. Turf grass filters and cleans water as it passes into the ground water supply. Turf grass are like exterior “air conditioners”, cooling the temperature at ground level. Grass generates oxygen: a 50’ x 50’ lawn produces enough oxygen for a family of four. Soil erosion is minimized by grasses. Grassy slopes and grass turf cut down on noise pollution in urban areas. There are more than 9,000 known species of grass. Around the world both humans and animals depend on grasses for food. While we expect a green lawn to beautify our home, we don’t always think about the benefit to our environment. IMPROVING YOUR LAWN’S GROWTH Grass needs moisture, oxygen and light to thrive. Beyond that, here are some helpful tips when planting grass from seeds: Grass seeds should have direct contact with the soil to absorb moisture. Plant the right grass seed at the right time: • warm weather grasses in the spring • cold weather grasses in the fall Put down a very thin layer of mulch to retain moisture. Avoid walking on grass seeds as they are germinating. Wait specified amount of time before using chemicals on lawn. Ensure there is consistent light and frequent watering. KEEPING YOUR LAWN HEALTHY AND GREEN Your lawn is a welcoming environment for all kinds of life forms: from insects to invasive plants. To keep your lawn looking green, thick and lush: Provide nutrients by fertilizing your lawn. Keep weeds in check, as they can spread quickly, especially dandelions. Check for bug activity - beetle larvae, cinch bugs, and other bugs. Ensure that thatch does not get too thick and starves grass roots from oxygen and water.
