Not so much 🙂  It’s important that you get your information from sources that are based on facts and research and are applicable to the area where your yard is located. Knowing what sources of information are trustworthy can be tricky, but it’s worth keeping this in mind so you’re not going down random rabbit holes of old wives tales and popular myths..

In light of this, for those who are in the Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan area, like we are, we feel there are THREE main sources you should limit yourself to when it comes to lawn related questions:

1. Purdue University’s Turfgrass Science Department website, which includes their HOMEOWNER PUBLICATIONS section at and their TURF TIPS BLOG


2. Michigan State University Extension’s Turf website, which includes their HOMEOWNER PUBLICATIONS


3. Red Hen Turf Farm’s website including our BLOG and our handy PDF Library.  Take things a step further to get timely updates and tips by signing up for our E-Newsletter and following us on Facebook .
