Keeping a healthy lawn that doesn’t pollute and disrupt nearby waterways can often seem like a daunting project. Especially when homeowners deal with pressure from homeowners associations and neighbors to keep their lawn looking beautiful and green all summer long.
That’s where the team-up between the Alliance and Scotts come in. They have put together a multiyear partnership to provide tips and tools for homeowners. Jonah Smith of the Alliance is quoted on their web news page saying, “The partnership is a natural fit for the Alliance. By raising awareness about easy things just about everyone can do around the home to positively impact the Great Lakes, we're creating the potential for millions of new stewards.”
Visit their newly created lawns and lakes webpage to see a listing of easy steps you can take at home to reduce your lawns impact on surrounding waterways. These are great tips even if you don’t live within the Great Lakes watershed. Many of these tips require very little effort, and one (water less, your lawn only needs 1 inch of water a week) actually reduces the amount of effort a lawn takes.
