I have more questions! Is Googling the best way to find my answers?
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:

- Michigan State University Extension’s Turf website at https://www.canr.msu.edu/turf/, which includes their HOMEOWNER PUBLICATIONS section at https://www.canr.msu.edu/home_gardening/lawns/index
