Next you need to feed the lawn. Mix your dry fertilizer with four pounds of Epsom salts and a pound of confectioner's sugar. The Epsom salts makes the lawn green, and the sugar gives the plants energy.

Watering is the next step in making that lawn look great. Now here's the real secret! Beer! Take one can of beer, a cup of children's shampoo, a half cup of molasses, and dissolve it all in a half cup of warm water, then top with ammonia.
