The folks at Pennington Seed have come up with a seed coating process called Myco Advantage that re-introduces vital micro-organisms back into your lawn. The resulting deeper and enhanced root structure can create a lawn that requires up to 30% less water to stay green.

Pennington offers seven seed options and mixes, including Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue. Dealer locator.

Another option – forget that manicured lawn and go natural.
