Otto Bookstore

Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s and I’m a doofus when it comes to yard work. That’s why I snatched up the new paperback, How to Cheat at Gardening and Yard Work.  Just the chapter on lawn care made me a believer!  If you thought like I did that cutting the grass shorter was going to save time cause it wouldn’t be needing another mowing so soon, you and I would be dead wrong—cause we’d be endangering the roots.  If you thought the clippings should be raked or bagged for the good of the lawn, think again—letting them decompose on the lawn will add almost two pounds of nitrogen per 1000 acres.  If you spray the underside of your mower with cooking oil before you start, the grass will fall to the ground instead of caking on the inside of the mower.  And the mowing will go much faster if you designed the edges of your lawn to have curved corners instead of sharp angles—no backing up to turn the mower toward the right or the left.   Read How to Cheat at Gardening and Yard Work, subtitled Shameless Tricks for Growing Radically Simple Flowers, Veggies, Lawns, Landscaping and More.  You’ll find it at Otto’s, 'a booklover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport.'
