AT HOME …
WAITING FOR GRASS TO GROW
Spring is great! Lawns are turning green everywhere … for some this means green grass and for others it means weeds! Yikes! We brought in lawn and irrigation expert, Zach Sturm of Prime Irrigation Design, to give us tips on how to get started on our best lawn ever.
Don’t have 5 minutes? Here’s a 1-pager with Zach’s tips from the video.
Have you ever wanted to get your soil sampled? Probably not. But chances are you or someone you know LOVES their lawn and garden … #lifegoals. For our green thumb friends out there, check out the resources at the K-State Extension office. There’s so much great info cropping up over there …
Speaking of great info, Johnson’s Garden Center has a ton of gardening tips on their website as well. With all this info, you’re sure to get something coming out of the ground!
