The summer months often mean spending a lot of time tending to your lawn. This usually entails using fertilizers, pesticides and gas-powered lawn mowers. Instead of using these environmentally harmful items, take the following advice from Natural Health magazine and create an eco-friendly yard you can be proud of.

Conserve water
According to the EPA, the best time to water your lawn is in the morning. Since the sun and heat are at it’s strongest during the middle of the day, the water will evaporate before it is able to nourish your grass and if you water in the evening, the water will linger overnight and produce mold. So get up early and give your grass an morning drink.
