[quote=Anonymous]I started with very poor soil after my front yard was reclaimed from a concrete parking lot owned by the previous occupant. It’s full of construction rubble. My lawn used to die off every summer. This year, it’s doing well. I think over time, 3 things happened: 1. Occasionally I let the grass go to seed (in the spring). I suppose the hardier varieties end up taking root and improving overall lawn survival. 2. The lawn is bordered on two sides by flower borders that are under automatic drip irrigation, which uses minimal water to send drops directly to the soil. I installed this years ago, but maybe it took that long to help. 3. The other two sides have trees or bushes (plus the house wall), that provide occasional shade and moisture retention. I need to mow in August, which I haven’t had to do before! [/quote]
