Earth Day is April 22. How earth-friendly are your landscape maintenance practices? You can make your landscape a friendlier place through a few small changes.
All of the plants in your landscape would benefit from better soil. Except for desert regions, adding compost to planting beds will make our plants healthier. A thin coat of compost on a lawn will fertilize and help hold in water. Microorganisms will break down the compost as part of a healthy soil ecosystem.
