When doing your lawn maintenance, take a walk around the lawn and look for any dandelion or other weeds. Pop them out making sure you pull out the entire root. Fill in the hole with a little soil and sprinkle with grass seeds then water with a 15-30-15 fertilizer. Make this a part of your regular lawn maintenance routine and you will always have a thick, healthy lawn. Seed Starter A great seed starter container is small paper cups. You can plant these directly into the ground, the cups will deteriorate and the roots will pop through the bottoms on their own. No fuss gardening!
