Feed Your Lawn. Water Smart.
Our society is increasingly concerned about water. Water is a finite natural resource that
is essential to our world, and it is also vital to the lawns we enjoy with our friends and
families.
As the leader in lawn and garden care, Scotts Miracle-Gro knows more about the relationship
between water, nutrients and healthy lawns than any other company.
We talk to thousands of people every day, and we know they're seeking a way to keep their lawns
healthy while respecting the environment and conserving water. Can a lawn be smart in how it
uses water? Can it use it more efficiently? Can it live with less?
The answer is yes.
We believe the solution begins with becoming "water smart." That's why we're proud to
offer Scotts Turf Builder Water Smart. A lawn fed the Water Smart way grows strong and
healthy with deep roots to better absorb water and nutrients. Compared to an unfed lawn, it uses water more
efficiently, and makes the most of every drop of water it gets.
Here are four easy tips you can follow to build a Water Smart Lawn:
- Feed Regularly. Regular feedings of Scotts Turf Builder Water Smart will help build a lawn you and your family can enjoy. It provides the nutrients your lawn needs to crowd out weeds and withstand the stresses of heat, drought and family activity.
- Set your lawn mower to the highest setting. Mowing high (3" or highest mower
setting) allows the grass to develop a deep root system and helps your lawn use water
better.
- Leave the grass clippings on your lawn. This recycles the plant nutrients back into
the soil.
- Rely on Rain. Your lawn will begin to wilt when water is needed. As much as
possible, take advantage of nature's sprinkler and rely on the rain to water your lawn.
