Fertilizer is a substance added to soil to improve plants' growth and yield. First used by ancient farmers, fertilizer technology developed as the chemical needs of growing plants were discovered.
Grass and gardens are nice enough, but potted plants in a wide variety of planter styles will instantly upgrade your backyard's aesthetic.
If you've tried time and time again to get grass to grow evenly across your yard to no avail, there's no need to give up hope. Instead, refresh patchier parts of your yard with raised planters and plants surrounded by colorful mulch.
