Longer grass is NOT harder to keep green in the summer. In fact, keeping your grass longer helps the root structure, as well as provide additional shade to keep moisture in the soil. Cutting your grass super short in the spring/fall can make sense, but not the dead of the summer. Google around, or see this article: http://www.stormthelawnpro.com/lawncaretips.html

Thanks for the tip on the roller, I never could figure out the line creation, that makes complete sense. The step about the grid could be a little better described though, do you also mow the entire yard a 2nd time in the opposite direction?

It is really quite simple. Northern grass is usually a thinner longer grass. like those used on professional sports fields. Then it is simply going one direction, turning around in a U-Turn, aka zero turning motion, and simply come straight back, the opposite direction of the way you went.

Hey P, you’re wrong about the global warming thing (at least in the way you presented it). Grass is a natural filter, oxygen producer, and air conditioner.

You’re perpetuating myths and making generalizations. There are irresponsible homeowners who don’t know the proper way to take care of a lawn, but when done correctly in the right locations, grass is a great benefit to the environment.

A few things are missing:

1. Lay some loud, obnoxious frat boys from Schaumburg with on the perimeter.
2. Place very expensive, overpriced athletes in the middle of the yard.
3. Televise nationally all the inevitable futility that occurs for generations.

NOW your yard will look like Wrigley Field!

I’m a Reds fan. Why in the Hell would I want to have my yard look like Wrigley Field?
