Do you sometimes feel that lawn care is
taking over your life? And depleting your
pocketbook? If so, consider shrinking
your yard.
Turning trouble spots and unused turf
areas into low maintenance landscape
beds with native plants simplifies lawn
care. It also helps the environment and
adds a little padding to your pocketbook.
Native plants that are acclimated to
local soil and climate conditions require
far less upkeep than grass or imported
plants. Natives are species that grew in an
area before people arrived with foreign
plant material.
Once established, native plants are
almost maintenance-free. They do take a
couple of years to settle in and get grow-
ing. Be sure to water well initially and feed
with an organic fertilizer that will turn the
soil into a healthy loam. Remember that
healthy soil yields healthy plants. New
Jobe’s(R) Organic Fertilizer Spikes are a
simple way to get the job done. (Learn
more about the full line of Jobe’s Organic
Fertilizers at www.easygardener.com)
Find native plants by contacting your
county extension agent or checking with a
nursery that carries locally-grown indige-
nous plants. Don’t relocate plants from
the wild! Doing so could be illegal, and it
would deplete local plant and animal
habitats.
Grow Native;Mow Less
Added hardscapes like walkways and
patios tie naturalized areas together and
minimize lawn areas while maximizing
yard usage. Small hardscapes can be
installed in a weekend. There are do-it-
yourself kits in home and garden centers,
and many offer “How to” clinics that help
you do the job correctly.
Hardscapes tend to buckle and crack
over time. Be sure to use an eco-friendly
underliner like WeedBlock(R) Recycled
landscape fabric (made from recycled
soda bottles) to prevent settling and shift-
ing.
You don’t have to reduce your lawn
overnight. Tackle the job bit by bit. Every
grassy spot you fill with native plants will
be a step toward reclaiming your life from
the lawn mower and returning your yard
to its natural beauty.

Bees are remarkable insects that make everyday life possible.
About one-third of all plant pollination on earth is done by bees.
This means that one in every three spoons of food you eat was a
direct result of the work done by bees.
Worker bees – all sterile
females – generally work them-
selves to death within 40 days in
summer, collecting pollen and
nectar.
Bees do not have ears, but
they have excellent sense of
smell, which is how they find
flowers near and far to pollinate.
