Yard Care

[Dawgsauce]

I mean, you can see early renaissance paintings of lawns. It's been the norm here on the plains and prairie as long as there have been recorded people setting up permanent dwellings.

Local grasses and trees are what grows naturally pretty much everywhere- gardens you have to create and cultivate. History of grassy lawns probably goes back to close to the first humans.

I am not sure what WNC's native grass is. I spend less time with gardening, and less money than friends of mine that want good looking grass yards. My "grass" is clover, crabgrass, and some other sedges. I'll need to overseed this fall to try to get it filled with grass and since I don't want to use any chemicals in yard I'm not sure how to combat the weeds. Anyone with organic weed or pre emergent tips please let me know. I don't have much grass, but would rather it be grass in those spots than weeds.
