But one point that really hit home was the importance of knowing when to say “enough is enough” when it comes to feeding our lawns.

It turns out that excessive use of fertilizers not only harms our grass but has a severe impact on the environment as well. So, what’s the verdict? Sometimes, we have to stop fertilizing our lawns to protect not only our greenery but also our Mother Earth.
