Great and easy to read. Makes sense.
Awesome grass 101!
I've lived all my life in the city and recently moved to a house with a front and back lawn. I knew nothing about grass! After reading this book I feel it gave me the basic knowledge to take care of my lawn and the tools to know then I need to call the pros. Also now I know what all those terms I heard my neighbors say mean and I can be certain I'm not talking smack! I was a lawn virgin and now I'm a lawn geek!! Highly recommend this book!!!!
