We all have interests and passions that sometimes conflict. You love your lawn and garden. Nothing compares to the satisfaction of a beautiful green lawn peppered with shrubs and gardens after hours of planting, fertilizing and watering.
Then there’s Scooter, or Jake, or Toto - and don’t forget Princess, your cat. Face it: You love your pets just as much as you love your tulips! But can your passions coexist? Can Jake learn to love your garden as much as you?
The answer, of course, is yes. Let's get started.

Warmer temperatures and the sunny disposition of spring welcome Mother Nature’s best-dressed and most talented performers: her birds.
If you’re lucky, they will migrate to your yard bringing endless hours of entertainment in song, dance and color, seeking only food, water and shelter in return. If you plan it right, they might make their backyard their home, feathering their nests with materials you provide in your garden and landscape, to produce a new generation of talent for many seasons to come.
So what can you do to make your yard an oasis for birds? Lyric Wild Bird Food is a great place to start. But the answer is more than bird feeders, bird houses and birdbaths. A more effective (and natural) approach is to plan for their arrival from the ground up!

Most people use a mechanical spreader to distribute lawn treatments to their property. These come in two sorts – a Drop Spreader and a Rotary Spreader. Both of these models require that you fill a hopper with material and push the spreader over the lawn. For most homeowners, the biggest problem is knowing how far the spreader is depositing the nutrients.

When grass is coming out of dormancy in the spring, the tendency is to feed heavily creating an instant green lawn. However, heavy feeding creates excess top growth at the expense of the root system. Consequently, although you mow often to keep the lawn in shape, the grass cannot put energy into the roots so that it can survive the heat of the summer. When choosing a fertilizer this spring, look for timed-release. Timed-release fertilizers provide a controlled release of the nitrogen nutrients, so the grass doesn't get that sudden influx of high nitrogen. A timed-release nitrogen fertilizer yeilds benefits to the grass plant and prevents the release of excess nitrogen that can contaminate the area watershed.
