My master gardener friend had a tip this morning for watering the lawn. She said that lawns need about an inch of rain each week. If you haven't gotten that much rain, water gently in the morning.
She also said that you can use newspapers as mulch. Just place two or three sheets of newspaper where you would normally use mulch. You may need to weight it down. Recycling in your own garden!
What are your gardening tips and tricks? We'd love to hear them!
