Whether you're a weekend lawn enthusiast or just trying to keep things green, you'll walk away with practical tips straight from the experts.

And because it's fall, we couldn't wrap up without talking football. Stick around to the end for a fun conversation about the season, favorite teams, and who's got bragging rights this year.
