The Minnesota Lawn Guide: Attaining and Maintaining the Lawn You Want

Fall is cleanup time for the garden.  The drought of the 2021growing season has been a challenge for all gardening. Watering restrictions presented challenges for lawn care.  Melinda Myer’s book, The Minnesota Lawn Guide, provides fall procedures that would be helpful to revitalize a lawn.


Written in plain language the author addresses variable weather, unpredictable rain, and long harsh winter effects on grass. Good soil is the foundation for a healthy lawn so a soil test is recommended.  Individual chapters about watering, fertilizing, mowing, turf varieties, and the best seeds are included.


THE MINNESOTA LAWN GUIDE is a necessary reference for the new lawn process, lawn restoration, and spot restorations.  Melinda Myers is a well-known PBS presenter, has 13 years experience at the University of Wisconsin Extension Service, and is editor/columnist for Birds & Bloom Magazine.
