How to Grow Greener Grass

in 9 simple steps.

1. Recognize that everyone is growing their own grass.

2. Grass is not easy to grow. So just seeing that you have grass is a big start.

3. Nurturing the grass and spending time watering it, feeding it, weeding it and making it the way you like it will help in greening your grass.

4. If you look closely, everyone’s grass is a different shade of green. The more you can appreciate your shade, the less you’ll care what color someone else’s grass is.

5. Define for yourself what shade of green and what type of lawn best suits you.

6. Over time, your grass may appear less green but that is only because you aren’t really looking at it or spending time appreciating it. Sit in your grass. Play with the blades in your hand. See how it holds your body and comforts you as you lay in it.

7. Spend time in other people’s grass if you must. But try and see how even they are looking for greener grass.

8. It’s always ok to dig up some grass and replant patches. Be patient.

9. The real thing is always better.
