## Resource

If you're striving for a healthy, weed-free lawn, the answer doesn't necessarily lie with killing weeds. You can do a lot right now to prevent them. In this episode, Don and John are joined by Lilly Bina, agriculture and natural resources extension agent, for tips on how to get that lush lawn you've always wanted without herbicides. And in case you have to resort to herbicides, she has some advice there, too.
