Nancy Cain, extension . coor- dinator of the University of Guelph's department of horticultural science says mid-August to mid-September seeding avoids most of the hot, dry summer weather and gives your new lawn a chance to become established before winter arrives. Although estimated at only hall the cost of sodding a lawn, seeding can become ex- pensive if you have to do it a second or third time. Start now and maintain a moist seedbed until after germination, says Cain. If you're preparing to sow grass seedy around a new house, check the soil first, time in Ontario says lain. It's difficult to improve poor soil conditions after the lawn is establish- ed. A minimum depth of 15 cm of good top- soil is required and a soil test can indicate nutrient needs such as phosphorus, she says. Slope the grade to fall gently away from the house and avoid depressions that will hold water. Prepare the seedbed by removing stones, bricks and other debris and broadcast enough commercial fer- tilizer to provide nitrogen at a rate of 1 kg per 100 square metres. Work the fertilizer into the surface 3 cm by raking with a steel lawn rake, says Cain. A lawn roller can be used to firm the seedbed, if necessary. Cain recommends a mixture of grass seeds; Kentucky Bluegrass is resilient to traffic and grows well in full sun, while creeping Red Fescue can be added to fill in under trees and areas with poorer soil. Turf -type perennial rye grass is a good companion since it germinates quickly and does well in compacted areas. The com- bination will ensure a good lawn even under varying conditions, says Cain. That's flexibility you might not get if you opted for sodding an "instant lawn",she says. Seed at the rate of 1.5 to 2.5 kg per 100 square metres and cover the seed lightly with a fan rake. Even later summer seeding will have to be wateredfor up to two weeks, says Cain, to ensure good ger- mination and allow the grass to establish roots. Finish your lawn treatment with a late October or early November applica- tion of a high -nitrogen fertilizer . Congratulations to Barb Snowden, left,.
