But unlike people, grass plants have to take in almost all their nutrients dissolved in water. Little Lawns - If spending weekends wrestling a lawnmower isn't your idea of leisure, yet you still love the feel of fresh-cut grass under your toes, here is the perfect solution: Reduce the amount of grass in your yard.
