Some people may already know this, and may think this posting is stupid.
I don't really care if you do think this posting is stupid.
Some people don't know, those are the people I'm addressing here in this posting.

Three Tips To Keep Your Lawn Grass Green:
1. Never water your lawn grass with city or municipal water, they have chemicals that can kill the lush green grass, and will almost always cause your grass to turn yellow, or get a yellow tint to it.
If you feel you have to water your grass, or live in an area where its a must. You should buy a water filter that removes these chemicals. The filter attaches to your garden hose, they don't cost much, and can be bought at any of the big box discount stores. cost are between $10 and $50 That's United States Dollars.

2. Never cut your grass in morning or mid day. Wait until about an hour before the sun starts to set. United States Summer Time would be around 7:00 PM / 19:00 hs.

If you cut your grass in the morning it gets the direct sun all day and the grass can't recover from being cut. and with the fresh cut ends is will loose its Chlorophyll, because of the direct sun. (Chlorophyll is what makes grass and leaves green) The grass has been injured and has to recover, like a person does when they have been cut. A person gets cut, the plasma in the blood forms a scab protecting the cut so it can heal. its pretty much the same for grass and plants.

When you cut your grass in the evening the grass has all night to heal and will not loose as much of its Chlorophyll. By the the next day's sun rise the grass its protected and almost healed.

3. Its not a good idea to use chemical fertilizers on your lawn grass.
Why?
Because:
Its like Cocaine or Heroin is to humans, after a short time using it, they depend in it, and physically suffer if they don't get it.

If you feel you have to fertilizer your lawn grass, use a natural fertilizer like compost, manure from a local farm or certified organic manure from a local nursery.

Here is a picture of my Uncle's lawn grass. We used to live here a few years ago

My uncle cut this lawn grass last evening starting at 7:30 PM / 19:30 hs

This yard has never been fertilized since 2005. its never been cut before 6:00 PM since 2005
Its never been watered except by natural rain fall since 2005. It does have some yard berries scattered through it. Yard berries are related to Strawberries, they're only about the size of a button on a shirt, they can be eaten. This lawn also has clover scattered through it (I have found many 4 leaf clover in this lawn) We are told, but don't know for sure the grass is Fine Blade Kentucky Blue Grass and Rye Grass, Its a 50/50 mix.
