Trying to save time this summer or avoid working outside in the heat? Try these tips from www.familyhandyman.com to simplify your lawn-care routine:
- Stop trimming grass. Lay a row of stones or pavers along the borders of your lawn, planters and fence line. When mowing you can roll right over the pavers, cutting the adjacent grass. This requires a minimal upfront project that will save you a summers worth of trimming.
- Sharpen your lawn mower blade to cut more quickly and get healthier grass. Using an angle grinder is a quick, efficient and inexpensive way to sharpen your lawn mower blade.
- Try “drive-by” weeding to reduce weeds. Travel with a bottle of herbicide attached to your mower. If you see a weed in the process of mowing, give it a quick spray. This streamlined process will allow you to accomplish two tasks at the same time.
- Make a soaker hose-this can ensure that your plants are saturated, getting more efficiently watered than with a sprinkler and saving you the effort of spraying them all down. Plug the end of your old hose with a stick & use a sharp 12d nail to punch small holes in the hose.
