He also suggests overseeding soon, since late summer is prime time for new grass to take root. And whatever you do, avoid walking or parking on your dry lawn—it’ll only make things worse.

Stick to gas with 10% ethanol or less, and use a stabilizer if you’re storing it. Your mower (and wallet) will thank you! #Cars #LawnCare #MowerTips01Share
