Thousands of home lawns are anything but the envy of the neighâ€" bors! They are spotty, rough and uneven, weedy, and many have brown patches most of the season. The spottiness is generally caused by different types of grasses in spots or sections that yield an appearance of different textures. Perennial grasses such as twitch, couch or barnyard grass are particuâ€" larly prevalent and these patches spread every year. The unevenness is most often caused either by repairs in the form of seeding small areas in previous years, or by winter damage â€" either frost heaving or animals burrowing. The weeds are generally broadleaf types such as dandelions Getting rid of those weeds »090" SOLID MAKHOGANY OAK MANTLE WITH CULTURED TYPE MARBLE UNTIL OCT. /93 PLIES ARE LIMITED None of these problems is insolâ€" uble.

The first step in putting in a new lawn from sod is deciding just what method will be used to get rid of the old grass and weeds. There are at least three choices. The first method is to cover the entire old lawn with eight to ten centimetres (that‘s three to four inches) of good topsoil obtainable from your nearest garden centre (they will arrange to have it delivâ€" ered). The second method is the use of a vegetation killer containing Glyphosate.
