My lawn is an extension of my gardens. It gives the home curb appeal," says [Richard Dupuis], who's known around his neighbourhood as the Wayne Gretzky of lawn care and gardening. "For me, it is a pastime. It's good; it gets us outdoors," says Dupuis, who developed his lawn and gardening talents while running a landscaping business as a teenager in his native Sherbrooke, Que., and more recently, by reading gardening books and surfing gardening sites on the web. If the weather is wet, there's no need to water your lawn, but if the forecast calls for a dry spell, haul out the hose and give your lawn a good soaking to jump-start the fertilizer's effectiveness. Your lawn should green up in a matter of days.

OK guys, here's the battle plan to win the green grass battle There's a going on in Winnipeg, judging by the kinds of questions I get asked by men during the gardening season. I can't explain the fascination, nay obsession, males have with their lawns, but the grass is always greener in the other guy's yard. Estimates put summer lawn irrigation at 40-60 per cent of residential water consumption. Every lawn loves a good rain, but during dry periods you must water to maintain a lawn's lush green. Otherwise the grass will naturally go dormant and look dead. The best approach is to water efficiently (less than once a week), but thoroughly. Don't turn on the sprinkler during the heat of the day (when most of the moisture will just evaporate) or when it is really windy. And position...

Honeybees contribute at least $47 billion a year to the North American economy pollinating crops like almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, broccoli, canola, carrot seeds, cherries, citrus, cranberries, cucumbers, grapes, lettuce, macadamids, melons, peaches, plums, pumpkins, onion seeds, squash, sunflowers, kiwis, tomatoes, zucchinis (to name a few); alfalfa and clover for beef and dairy industries; cotton for our clothes; honey, candles and medicines. Many blue-chip corporations depend on the honeybees for their products including Generals Mills, Haagen Dazs ice cream, Starbucks coffee and Clorox's Burt's Bees a specialty personal care company with over 150 products. In 2007, almond, plum, kiwi and cherry pollen that were tested exhibited little if any protein content. Infertile soi...

This is the sixth year the Eco-Network has held community organic workshops, and [Anne Lindsey] said she expects to see at least 150 people come out to get natural tips on how to get their lawn off "drugs. While [AMANDA Macrae] said most people think organic lawns and gardens are high maintenance, she spends only about 10 to 15 minutes a day pulling out weeds "the old fashioned way." She said her lawn and garden is greener and healthier without chemicals and attracts helpful insects like dragonflies It's really low maintenance," she said. "Everyone thinks it's challenging and difficult, but it's not."

The big three macronutrients that plants need are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Nitrogen aids the healthy growth of leaves, phosphorus encourages root development, and potassium promotes flowering and fruit production. A chemical fertilizer of 20:20:20 would have a balanced ratio of NPK. Other macronutrients such as calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S) are usually present in sufficient amounts in healthy garden soil, so applying plant food is not always needed. Sulfur is naturally produced in adequate amounts from the ongoing decomposition of soil organic matter. Adding finished compost to garden soil immediately improves fertility and overall texture and tilth. It's better to under-feed rather than over-feed your garden. It's pretty convenient to grab the Mirac...
