According to the environmental protection agency, gas-powered lawnmowers can emit as much pollution in one hour as a car driven for an hour. This includes volatile organic compounds. Frankie is here to help us build a lawn that is friendly to the facebook neighbours and the environment. You don't want to be the homoing the lawn at 7 A.M. on a weekend. >> Frank: when you hear about gas-powered mowers the ev of lawnmowers right now, they're great. The other thing about gas-powered lawnmowers is that you have to store the gas inside your garage. Think about that as well. We're going to get into those in a bit. First I want to ask you a question, do you guys have a lawn? >> Tracy: no. >> Meredith: no. We took out the front lawn and planted it in terms of native plants. Yeah, we're three summers into that now. Always wanted a wild front garden. >> Tracy: and that's what we've got. A beautiful wild front garden. Slightly manicured. Leo spent so many seasons on this garden, it's absolutely stunningly gorgeous on its own and only has to do a few things every season and the backyard is ImagineNative film and media arts festival -- pavers and mulch. >> Meredith: are we neighbours? >> Frank: we have to maintain green space.

the natives are good, with smaller properties as well. The lawn, my lawn is a little bit larger. I don't live in the city of toronto. I have more space. The lawn is still the lowest maintenance ground cover, provides green, oxygen. Just had a bunny eating the lawn last night as well. There's a food source there as well. Lawns in the right setting are still very good. Lawns are still very popular and a lot of people want to have the green grass. >> Tracy: yeah. >> Frank: first off, when it comes to lawnmowers, as I mentntned eded about how quiet these are in terms of the evs. You got that. That's about as loud -- >> Tracy: that sounds loud. >> Frank: compared to gas? >> Tracy: true, true. >> Frank: if you're storing as well. You don't have to store the batteries themselves. I know that sid always enjoys -- >> Meredith: he sure does. >> Tracy: a little leaf blowing? >> Frank: yeah, just roll that forward. >> Meredith: go tracy! >> Frank: you can do it to my hair if you want. >> Tracy: and I will always love you! >> Frank: super easy for those -- a little bit more quiet. >> Meredith: that's one of my favourite tools in the house. I feel like a powerful you know what when I'm using it and the debris, bye-bye. Gone to the neighbours. >> Frank: my boys really like using that. It's a great tool for teenagers and that. >> Tracy: yeah, they can help out. >> Frank: the lawn, something popular with the lawn is right now everybody has been searching that green grass. But also what's gaining popularity in some of the other areas is this is clover. Mixing your clover and lawn seed together in areas underneath trtrs. Clover works well in the more shaded locations. It's great to walk on. Cut it before it goes into bloom and adds nitrogen back into the soil. This is a benefit as well. >> Meredith: I always think you're getting rid of clover on the lawn. >> Frank: your dad wanted that golf course grass. Now there's more acceptance. Even dandelions. There's more of an acceptance. That tap root that goes down can work out the soil. It's nutritious for us, if you ever were to eat it from the roots to the flower to the seed. The dandy liean, is key is to reduce it, when you cut the lawn, raise the blade up a little bit higher. Dandelions are in the period where seeds are blowing everywhere. That perfect grass popular out there. You got to get the right glass seed for the mix. >> Tracy: yeah. >> Frank: dogs. You have a dog. >> Tracy: I have a dog. >> Meredith: I have a dog. >> Frank: female dogs have higher acidic -- >> Meredith: yes, I know. Why do we take out the grass, frank? >> Frank: right, in order to patch the areas you need to neutralize the acidity of the urine and put soil down and seed on top. That's why there's formulated grass seeds out there that you have, when you see the dog patches they have that horticultural horticultural lime there to fix that for you. Big question is to bag or not to bag. When it comes to the lawn. When it comes to the lawn, I'd never bag. Never bag. >> Meredith: the grass clippings are good for the grass? >> Frank: yes, like a mulching blade on the bottom mulches the blades of grass. It adds annuity yepts back into the soil. The only time I bag is if the grass is really high and after I cut I have a bunch of clippings around. I will run it over again and bag it that time. Lawns have a purpose, especially for a larger property. Be kind to the environment by thinking an about converting over to batteries and then at the same time be kind to your neighbours too. I was trying to be friendly -- urn -- you were talking about blowing it on to the neighbour's grass? >> Meredith: not my neighbours. >> Tracy: not her neighbours, we're just like -- just off our property. >> Meredith: property. >> Frank: sure . . . >> Tracy: thank you very much! >> Meredith: thank you. [ Laughter ]. >> Meredith: thank you very much, frank. >> Tracy: thanks, frankie! FrankieFlowers.com for more info. >> Meredith: frankie -- FrankieFlowers.com. Are you still doing the lives? >> Frank: sunday nights at 7! Pops on there and do q&as. >> Tracy: the amount of information in that brain. My goodness.
