A lawn is an area of soil-covered land planted with grasses or (rarely) other durable plants such as clover which are maintained at a short height with a lawnmower and used for aesthetic and recreational purposes. Common characteristics of a lawn are that it is composed only of grass species, it is subject to weed and pest control, it is subject to practices aimed at maintaining its green color (e.g., watering), and it is regularly mowed to ensure an acceptable length, although these characteristics are not binding as a definition. Lawns are used around houses, apartments, commercial buildings and offices. Many city parks also have large lawn areas. In recreational contexts, the specialised names turf, pitch, field or green may be used, depending on the sport and the continent.
The term "lawn", referring to a managed grass space, dates to no earlier than the 16th century. Tied to suburban expansion and the creation of the household aesthetic, the lawn is an important aspect of the interaction between the natural environment and the constructed urban and suburban space. In many suburban areas, there are bylaws in place requiring houses to have lawns and requiring the proper maintenance of these lawns. In some jurisdictions where there are water shortages, local government authorities are encouraging alternatives to lawns to reduce water use.

Today we apply Milorganite and Lime as well as introduce a sweet lawn more from Toro. Toro did not directly sponsor this video. They are sponsoring a series of videos that will be released over the next several weeks/months. But there are other steps that I need to take outside of what I am doing with them in order to make the story flow properly here on YouTube. Primarily, lawn care involves inputs into the soil - not just lawn mowing and maintenance. So this video is meant to move the story along. However, I did have the opportunity to introduce the Toro SMARTSTOW High Wheel Mower into this video and you can find that here: https://goo.gl/Jmmxmu Here is the first video in this playlist where you can see the strategy behind the apps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o-c5hptVTU Here is t...

Reseeding the lawn
Who's that out on the lawn old and forgettable and all liquored up? Sometimes it seem like the farther you climb the further you fall.
Go away. Are you looking at me? I'm older than you. I don't mean to say that I'm always this way, it's just something I like to do. I'm looking out windows watching my days away, waiting for a change to come around. Soon i'll be on the lawn. I'll be upside down, bent over laughing my life out, in deeper than the rutt I'm in right now. You lock yourself up inside your head with your hands down at your sides and all the things you never did piled up beside you. Man, it's your own life and there's no reason why we should sit here and watch it all fade away. You're only as old as you want to be.
