How do I grow grass when the lawn is being salted by the winter plow trucks?


Question:I have a 120 ft stretch of grass that looks terrible right along the front of my property. In winter the plow trucks salt it killing whatever growth is there.

Answers:
Apply garden gypsum to that area. it counteracts the effect of the salt. You may want to aerate as well.


buy some fertilizers that will kill the acidity of that part of the lawn.
