Old houses often have equally old–and by old I mean weed-choked–lawns. If you live in the Northern tier of the country, it’s a pretty good time to start. I hasten to add that getting green grass is not an overnight, once-and-done project. That said, it is possible without hiring a lawn service. Here’s what I do at my house.
First, I get a snapshot of what my lawn needs. The easiest and cheapest way to do this is through your local university extension. Typically, you call them and request a sample-pack. They send it to you with instructions, which usually requires digging up several small samples of grass and soil then mail it back to them. For a few bucks they test it and provide you with a report as to what your lawn needs.
