THE LIVING SERIES: Green Gardening and Lawn Care

Description
Four Principles of Natural Lawn Care:

1.

Observation: Understand your lawn. Know where the sun falls, where water puddles and what kind of soil you have. Then make better decisions about how to look after it.

2.

Trust in Mother Nature: Mother Nature provides many tools to help us. Learn the ways in which the insects in your garden are beneficial for it.

3.

Don’t Over-Treat: When you treat your lawn with chemicals, you’re in a rush to fix problems right away. In natural lawn care, be patient, observe and let nature take its course.

4.

Be Patient: We’re dealing with nature, you can’t force growth. Often, things self-correct and you will be able to relax and enjoy your garden.

Grass Stitcher GSS-001 10-Inch Single Grass Stitcher

  • Rugged construction and ergonomic design – with a no-questions-asked lifetime warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee
  • No back or arm muscles – Uses leg power efficiently
  • No back or arm muscles – Makes use of body weight
  • Patented perforations – Creates ideal environment for seed germination – extra-wide hole surrounded by loose soil
  • Durable wheels – Forgiving poly/fiberglass material flexes when encountering obstacles, resists breaking

Product Description
The Grass Stitcher lets you inexpensively repair bare spots in your lawn quickly and easily. This revolutionary eco-lawn tool works right through dead grass, and leaving the organic material in place adds beneficial mulch and nutrients. Just add seed and water and walk away. There are many ways to make holes in the ground, but no tool can make holes like the Grass Stitcher. It creates the perfect environment for grass seed germination because of the unique plowing action of the wheels, the precise shape and size of the spikes, and the efficient handle design. The efficient handle allows users to easily apply force to the wheels using either foot pressure or body weight. Durable poly/fiberglass wheels withstand the force so the spikes penetrate the soil at the correct depth. The wheels penetrate at a distinct angle, creating a plowing effect, loosening and mounding soil. The spikes penetrate up to their small, stubby support arm, achieving the correct depth each time and creating an extra-wide hole that’s surrounded by the mounded loose soil. The loosened soil crumbles on top of the seeds when watered. The spiked wheels grind the existing grass, effectively recycling it as mulch. Lifetime warranty.
