Do you sometimes feel that lawn care is

taking over your life? And depleting your

pocketbook? If so, consider shrinking

your yard.

Turning trouble spots and unused turf

areas into low maintenance landscape

beds with native plants simplifies lawn

care. It also helps the environment and

adds a little padding to your pocketbook.

Native plants that are acclimated to

local soil and climate conditions require

far less upkeep than grass or imported

plants. Natives are species that grew in an

area before people arrived with foreign

plant material.

Once established, native plants are

almost maintenance-free. They do take a

couple of years to settle in and get grow-

ing. Be sure to water well initially and feed

with an organic fertilizer that will turn the

soil into a healthy loam. Remember that

healthy soil yields healthy plants. New

Jobe’s(R) Organic Fertilizer Spikes are a

simple way to get the job done. (Learn

more about the full line of Jobe’s Organic

Fertilizers at www.easygardener.com)

Find native plants by contacting your

county extension agent or checking with a

nursery that carries locally-grown indige-

nous plants. Don’t relocate plants from

the wild! Doing so could be illegal, and it

would deplete local plant and animal

habitats.

Grow Native;Mow Less

Added hardscapes like walkways and

patios tie naturalized areas together and

minimize lawn areas while maximizing

yard usage. Small hardscapes can be

installed in a weekend. There are do-it-

yourself kits in home and garden centers,

and many offer “How to” clinics that help

you do the job correctly.

Hardscapes tend to buckle and crack

over time. Be sure to use an eco-friendly

underliner like WeedBlock(R) Recycled

landscape fabric (made from recycled

soda bottles) to prevent settling and shift-

ing.

You don’t have to reduce your lawn

overnight. Tackle the job bit by bit. Every

grassy spot you fill with native plants will

be a step toward reclaiming your life from

the lawn mower and returning your yard

to its natural beauty.

Bees are remarkable insects that make everyday life possible.

About one-third of all plant pollination on earth is done by bees.

This means that one in every three spoons of food you eat was a

direct result of the work done by bees.

Worker bees – all sterile

females – generally work them-

selves to death within 40 days in

summer, collecting pollen and

nectar.

Bees do not have ears, but

they have excellent sense of

smell, which is how they find

flowers near and far to pollinate.
