Thanks for your article!    

Do you reccomend a power raking, aerating?  I live in Colorado -- drought and have lots of dry grass.

When applying Ringer fert do I have to worry about "burning" the lawn?  

Also, any comments about the electric mowers?  Do any have a battery instead of a cord?

aerating:  really good if you use chemical fertilizers, and if you intend to water improperly.

If you do everything right, the worms will be your aerators.

I usually apply less fertilizer just for that reason.  So that might be why I have never seen any burn.  As with anything, too much can burn.  But since it is a slow release, it would have to be an awful lot!

Electric mowers:  sometimes I'm tempted to try a cordless, but just haven't felt that temptation enough to actually part with money.  Yet.
