This is the best time to rejuvenate weak, patchy lawns, says Burke McNeill, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food exten- sion horticulturist. "Cool fall weather stimu- lates grass growth, and seed- ings will have time to estab- lish good root systems before winter," he says. Lawn deterioration can be caused by poor soil, poor drainage, excessive shade, weeds, pests, or improper maintenance. Poor lawns can be revital- ized with adequate watering or improved soil fertility and condition. If lawns have few bare spots, and the topsoil is good, a complete reseeding is unnecessary, says Mr. McNeil. To avoid waste, reseed only the bare spots that are more than 78 cm square (1 square foot). Apply a good herbicide before spreading the seed. Thin lawns require a top- dressing to provide a suitable seedbed. "Prepare lawns for com- plete reseeding by removing all dead and-cut vegetation," suggests Mr. McNeill, "Apply a herbicide at recom- mended rates to kill remain- ing turf." This treatment will 'burn off' the vegetation without leaving harmful residues, When the turf grass is dead, cultivate the top 5 cm (2 inches) of soil, rake lawn surfaces, and sow the seed. For best results, seed by mid September with a good grass mixture, such as creep- ing fetcue and Kentucky bluegrass. ski-day snowmobiles Lynn Hoy Enterprises Ltd.
