Notice your clients are quizzing you on mowing know-how, fertilization facts or watering tips? Maybe they picked up a copy of the Scotts Co. consumer-focused Lawn 101 book, Scotts Lawns: Your Guide to a Beautiful Yard.
Penned by award-winning Iowa State University professor Nick Christians, and Ashton Ritchie, a 28-year lawn care veteran for the Scotts Co., the 192-page book serves as a basic lawn care reference for homeowners, packed with tips to deliver maximum results with minimum effort. With 400 photographs and 40 illustrations, readers can turn to the easy-to-read guide for troubleshooting suggestions and ideas on starting a brand-new lawn or reviving worn-out turf. A problem-solving section features a “Lawn Detective” that identifies common lawn diseases, insects and other problems.
The book is marketed to the residential landscape guru – the “lawn jockey” who seeks curb appeal. Home-gardener hobbyists can find the publication where lawn care products and books are sold. Scotts Co. hosts www.askashton.com to field lawn care questions. – Kristen Hampshire
