A tidy, green lawn around the house not only looks good but is a great place for your kids to play so you'll want to grow the grass organically. After you achieve this, you won't be putting your family at risk for anything. The area where you reside will likely have types of grass that do better than others, so check around. Picking the wrong variety of grass will never produce the most satisfactory lawn which will fall short of your expectations.

Because your grass will have people walking on it, and children playing on it, also, you will want a grass that will hold up. After all, you want to find yourself with a lawn that can be used recreationally without fear of spoiling it. That would defeat the goal of having a nice yard. Unwanted weeds have a habit of popping up where they are not wanted including your nice lawn and you might think that weed killer would be a quick fix. Even so, your objective is to grow a safe, organic lawn and that means not using any toxic chemical on the grass to get rid of weeds.

In the first place, you'll want to identify the type of weed, because some weeds can actually be good for your lawn, and those you won't want to get rid of. The helpful weeds are a source of nourishment for your lawn but the other types should be pulled right out. Be sure to pull the entire weed out roots and all if not it will grow back again. Lots of people just run them over with a mower, but you should avoid doing this. Typically, when you mow the weeds any seeds are sent out and you will end up with more weeds, not less. For your yard care and attention, you might want to consider your lawn mower.

Most of us have a gas lawn mower, that puts lots of pollutants into the air. The very best mower will not be the easiest, because it is a reel mower that you push. These reel or cylinder mowers have mower blades attached to a cylindrical reel that revolves as you push it forward and it cuts the grass. The mower blades can be adjusted for ideal cutting action and this type of mower is simple and makes little noise. Your neighbors won't be able to audibly hear you cut your lawn no matter when and you won't be producing noxious fumes or pollutants either. As well as cutting the lawn, mowing your lawn may become a good aerobic exercise session. Because they are not complex machines and don't have an engine, push mowers are lower priced and even a reputable one will only cost a hundred dollars or so. Unless you find the idea of a push mower very desirable, then you could try electric instead.

The extension cable on an electric powered mower can be a bit of a annoyance when mowing and you have to continually watch where you are going with the mower to avoid chopping it in half. A battery operated mower gives you total freedom when guiding the machine across the lawn because there are no cables to worry about. At the end of a mowing session, it's great to chill out in a garden chair on your green lawn and smell the new mown grass.
