Nonetheless, some people persist in these behaviors, and it's not
unreasonable for them to seek advice on the most cost-effective way of
going
about them.

Which is exactly why I say don't do anything to your lawn but cut it.
Grass
doesn't "DIE". If it's not as healthy as it could be, it kind of
hibernates
for a while (turns brown, doesn't grow as fast). Give me a brown lawn
over
a green one anyday. I have better things to do with my time than mow the
damned lawn, and I don't really care to spend so much money on fuel to
power
the lawn tractor. The most un-frugal thing you can do to a lawn is
ANYTHING
to help it be more healthy, such as watering, aerating, fertilizing,

You've missed the point - the ONLY reason your lawn stays a lawn is because
you cut it. Cutting inhibits weeds, trees, shrubs, vines, etc., but because
of the way it grows, cutting doesn't bother the grass. Look at any vacant
lot in your area - whatever's growing there, it probably isn't a lawn.- Hide quoted text -

True but the average homeowner mows their lawn far too often.

The longer the time between mowings (within reason), the better the
lawn.
