How do you make a greener lawn?

Answer 1

paint

Answer 2

Not a very "green" answer but high nitrogen fertilizers green up your lawn quickly - but not in the most environmentally friendly way. You won't see such fast results, but spreading a layer of compost over your lawn and then watering it in well will produce a greener and healthier lawn too and it is better for the environment.

Answer 3

If it's already in generally good shape, nitrogen is the key.
You can tell the amount of nitrogen in the fertilizer by checking the numbers on the package, which are always N-P-K, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium. Nitrogen causes greenup and leaf growth, phosphorous healthy root growth, and potassium aids in spreading. In my area with my grass I'm supposed to add about 4 lbs of total nitrogen per 1000 square feet of grass per year, but generally I'm too lazy and cheap. Again, in my area it's generally best to add about half of it between September and November, but you should check with you local extension office, or check to see of your stage ag college has a web site with grass growing advice.
For starters, you could take a look at http://www.agry.purdue.edu/turf/tips/index.html, but seek local sources that will give you the right information for your climate, soil, and grass.

Answer 5

Water/feed it with any common water soluble plant food/fertilizer. Miracle Grow works good, but there are other similar products. Dry fertilizers work fine, but you have to be careful how you apply them or you can "burn" the lawn quite easily.

I apply dry lawn food in the spring, but generally use water soluble food the rest of the summer.

Answer 6

water the plants everyday and make tream once a week

Answer 7

fertilize with nitrogen, iron and potassium

Answer 8

Water it!
