Caring for your la^vn Despite fertilizing and watering, watering, many homeowners find that areas of their lawns grow poorly for one of many reasons - too thin a layer of topsoil, poor drainage, excessive excessive shading, weed competition. competition. J. K- Hughes, horticulturist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, suggests suggests how, after identifying the problem, homeowners can take the necessary steps to correct it. "For example, where topsoil topsoil is shallow, or low in fertility, top dressing will improve the rooting medium, and help to level out slightly uneven areas," he says. Frequent light treatments give best results, and should be spread evenly over the surface, then raked in. If the topsoil is too thin on your lawn, thoroughly work up the lawn area and add at least four inches of good topsoil, then reseed. Sometimes only small areas require renovation. "But it is difficult to establish new seed in turf unless the soil is well worked prior to seeding," the specialist adds. With areas larger than one square foot, work up the soil, reseed and keep the area well watered. Lawn areas that have thinned because of excessive shading should be replanted to a grass that is shade-tolerant, shade-tolerant, such as one of the fescues. Take a look at your lawn and plan your renovations during August. When the nights are cooler in September, September, you can start making the necessary corrections.
