The traditional Garden Lawn has become an indispensable part of a garden. It is a place for recreation, relaxation as well as a vantage point for a gardener to admire his work! There are many books on Lawn Care. Many are too long and technical, others are too simplistic. 'The Lazy Person's Common Sense Guide to the Business of Lawn Care' bridges that gap. It is neither for experts nor for dummies...It is for both. It is a comparatively short Lawn Guide but within its pages is everything you will need to know about caring for the most important part of your garden. It is not prescriptive but tells you what is important as well as what is optional. The traditional grass lawn has been around for many years. In fact, it has been a feature of most gardens since the invention of the lawnmower because without some sort of mechanical cutter, it would be impossible to even contemplate a sort of carpet-like, close-cropped patch of grass which seems to be the feature of over 90% of all domestic gardens. It is one of those aspects of the garden which, in spite of changes in taste and fashion, has managed to hold on against the onslaught of everything from decking to coloured paving, ponds, water features and for the other transient crazes which gardening has become prone to in the last hundred years. 'The Lazy Person's Common Sense Guide to the Business of Lawn Care' covers all aspects of lawn maintenance, including actually laying down the lawn using turf or seed, caring for it and mowing it, together with a chapter on how to treat it with the changing seasons. There is even be a chapter on how to deal with lawn pests, ranging from weeds to ants and moles! It is written in an easy and engagingly informal style which means that you unlike other gardening-related books, you will read it and remember it! You will wonder how you managed without it!
