Time to weed the crab grass

Do you spend hours manicuring your lawn down to the tiniest blade of grass? Or is your lawn more worn than an old pair of jeans? In either case, you have a chance to cash in on your turf with Lowe's All-American Lawn contest.

The $5,000 grand prize won't simply be awarded to the lushest green grass. Judges are seeking an "all American" look, based on this criteria: lawn use, overall appearance, nutrition, creativity, and character. Entrants should submit a color photograph and a one-page description of how the lawn is used and the care program followed. Send to:

All-American Lawn Contest, PO Box 1835, Elgin, IL 60121.
