The Lawns and Lawn Care Factfile tells you everything you need to know about growing, repairing, and caring for a lawn, whatever its use. Here is a handy guide to site preparation, choice of grass mixtures, sowing and turfing, improving and repairing a lawn, mowing, edging, watering, and feeding, and weed and pest control. There are also ideas about alternatives to grass.
