I live on a small farm with lots of grass areas. I don't even call them lawn. I never fertilize, we have very fertile soil. Use no chemicals. Just have green grass all the time, even ibn dry spells. Secret, mow a little bit high, leave the clippings on the lawn. Plenty of earth worms to do their thing. I do have some crab grass in fall, but not serious. I do use a little Round Up on an occasional thistle.
I am trying to replace grass with flowers. A big job with near an acre of grass.
