Local garden expert Mike Nolan says the best fix is watering early in the morning, aiming for about an inch a week to keep the soil soft and ready for any rain that does come. 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.

Michael Wilson+FollowStop Wasting Money on Premium Gas for Your MowerThought filling your lawn mower with premium gas would make it run better? Turns out, it’s just a waste of cash.

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
