The summer heat is on and that makes it the perfect time to get rid of some water-guzzling grass.
Here’s how:
- Measure the area to eliminate (aim for at least 200 square feet).
- Mow grass down to the dirt. Rake up top layers of stems and roots.
- Cover the area with cardboard or newspaper and secure with stakes or rocks.
- Layer mulch over the top and let the summer sun do its thing.
