Being truly a native Southern Californian, I was very partial to a Dichondra grass. Imagine my surprise upon moving to Oregon to learn it really wasn't possible to truly have a Dichondra garden in Oregon as a result of colder winters. Flowers and vegetables can be found by list based on the area you live in.

Correct Fertilazation

To be able to have a lavish, healthier garden you are likely to have to supply it with the correct nutrients. You will find the right manure for the yard at the local garden store. Follow the simple guidelines and you're ready to go. Fertilizer comes in both liquid and dry form. I've had best of luck with both. A word of caution. More isn't better, as it pertains to manure. At most useful, over fertilizing will burn up your backyard.

Watering

As to how much water your lawn needs differs somewhat based on grass type. Generally speaking, implementing one inch of water each week could be the recommendation if you have insufficient rainfall all through summer drought. An inch of water can be measured by observing the part of a tuna or pet food can placed in the yard. The best time of day to water your lawn is in the first morning hours. If utilizing a timer, take to placing it for 2 hours a day, 3 times weekly or every other day.

Cutting

For a healthier lawn, never cut more than one-third of the grass blade in virtually any one cutting. Move up the height of your mower to the highest setting, if the grass gets ahead of you because of a busy schedule. Capture the cuttings with a bagging device, rake the lawn with a rake, or make use of a mulching knife. Then move the cutting level right back on track and cut the grass again a few days later.
