How do you soften hard soil for grass seed?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to soften your grass and prepare it for planting grass seed is aeration. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-aeration-key-healthy-green-lawn.htm">Aerating your lawn</a> will loosen up compacted soil and facilitate a more even balance of nutrients from root to topsoil. We recommend using core aeration methods for the most effective soil-loosening results.</p></div>

Which lawn treatments are the most important?

• <div><p>Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-water-lawn.htm">water it regularly</a>, and take care of pests the moment they arise. </p></div>

Q: Does vinegar stop dog pee from killing grass?

• <div><p>A quick search online may recommend that you give your dog apple cider vinegar to help decrease the pH level of your dog&rsquo;s urine. This method won&rsquo;t help your yard, though. Most turf grasses thrive on slightly acidic soil, so apple cider vinegar won&rsquo;t make much of a difference. </p><p>The main cause of grass death by dog urine isn&rsquo;t the pH level anyway&mdash;it&rsquo;s usually the excessive amount of nitrogen that kills your grass.</p></div>

Q: What methods do professionals use for weed management?

• <div><p>Herbicide application, manual removal, and landscape fabric are common approaches.</p></div>

Q: Should I use fungicide on grass with powdery mildew?

• <div><p>You can use a fungicide to help control powdery mildew, but you should apply it judiciously as it can damage soil health and persist in the soil. Most of the time, proper watering, surface drying, and limiting shade can control powdery mildew without needing harsher interventions. If you have a repeated problem with powdery mildew, you can also try planting a shade-resistant <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-grass-will-grow-best-my-yard.htm">type of grass</a> that will be less susceptible to the fungus.</p></div>
