Mellow September days
are ideal for seedi .ng new
lawns or planting evergreens

Ministry of Agriculture and
Food horticulturist.
Lawn seeding can restore
unsightly, ' bare patches,
caused by summer con-
struction or repair projects.
To paper a seedbed, use
a rototiller or spade, and
remove any thistles or
weeds," says Mr. Gommc.
"Then level with a rake,
'before sowing 2.3 kg. of
pre-mixed seed and 9 kg of
balanced fertilizer per 93 sq.
.m. After seeding, rake
lightly."
For a large area, Mr.
Gomme recommends buying
pure seed and mixing it at
home. The mixture should
contain 60 per cent Kentucky
bluegrass, 30 per cent creep-
ing red fescue, and 10 .per
cent perennial rye grass.
Dragging a weighted board
over the large expanse is the
easiest method of leveling
the soil.
"Cooler weather promotes
fast growth of grass," says
Mr. Gomnie. "Homeowners
won't have to water newly-
seeded lawns because
Mother Nature will do it for
them."
While improving the land-,
scape, homeowners might
consider planting a few ever-
greens. In September,
nurseries 'stock many vari-
eties.
"It 'is important to remem-
ber that some evergreens
cannot tolerate shade," says
Mr. Gomme. "The Japanese
yew and euonymus are ideal
for north-wall sites, but all
junipers and other ever 7
greens - prefer • locations
facing east ; south or west."
' The planting•site should be
well-worked, with generous
additions of peat. moss to
hold moisture. Evergreens
