How do I keep my lawn green in a drought?

• <div><p>First, make sure you’re watering your grass early in the morning (and keep in mind you don’t have to water every day). Doing this helps ensure the water is able to soak in before the hot temps evaporate all of the water. Also, when you mow, don’t mow your grass as short as you would in non-drought conditions. Taller grass can help slow down the rate at which soil dries out. Finally, take your leftover lawn clippings and spread them out across the lawn to give it a little extra shade and nutrients.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if my seeds aren’t sprouting?

• <div><p>If it&rsquo;s been a few weeks and you haven&rsquo;t seen anything pop up, double-check your seed packet and make sure you didn&rsquo;t miss any steps. Did they need cold stratification (putting seeds in the freezer and then transferring to water before planting)? Do they have an exceptionally long germination period? </p><p> If you&rsquo;ve followed all of the directions closely, you may just have had a bad batch of seeds. (Sadly, it happens.)</p></div>

Q: When should I aerate my lawn?

• <div><p>The frequency of lawn aeration depends on factors such as soil type, yard traffic, and lawn health. In most cases, annual aeration is sufficient to maintain a healthy lawn. However, if your lawn experiences heavy use or soil compaction issues, you may consider aerating twice a year. Keep an eye on your grass and soil conditions to determine when aeration is needed to keep your lawn in its best shape.</p></div>

Q: Is liquid aeration safe for pets and children?

• <div><p>Liquid aeration products are generally safe for pets and children when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the liquid has dried on the lawn, it poses minimal risk. However, as a precaution, keep pets and children off the treated area until it has dried completely, which usually takes a few hours. This helps ensure their safety while allowing the product to work effectively in improving your lawn's health.</p></div>

Q: How often should I aerate my lawn?

• <div><p>Experts recommend aerating a lawn at least once a year. If you haven&rsquo;t aerated your lawn recently, or if it has a significant amount of thatch buildup, you may need to aerate it twice annually for a few years. Keeping up with a regular aeration schedule helps ensure the long-term health of your yard. </p></div>
