Lawn Care
 

Hey all, first time homeowner here, looking for someone to direct me to a
good web resource on how to care for your lawn yourself. Google turns up
mainly ads.

I live in Canada, which means we get some heavy weather in winter, and I
want to get some info on steps to take now that the snow has melted.

Scotts puts out some very good information. Try their web site.

Pick a US state with similar growing conditions to yours and look at
the .edu sites from a land grant college.
I can't recall what Canada's version of a cooperative extension service
is but in the US every county of every state has one.
Forget Scotts they just want to sell you product.

Frankly they put out a lot of good advertising. Following their advice
will give you a good lawn with four times the chemicals needed to have a
great lawn.

In the US we have county extension services, you have a similar
government sponsored group. They will give you great local information
without the commercial hype and it's free. Any local university with an Ag
department is likely to have a web site with information as well. Just make
sure your information is local.
