SPRING LAWN CARE
Early spring lawns can appear straw-coloured and dead. If the
grass seems very dense and matted, you can help by giving the
lawn a good, vigorous raking. Remove the piles of material and
add them to your compost pile. This raking opens up the turf to
allow light, water and fertilizer penetration. It stimulates the grass
plant and makes the lawn look much better.
If your lawn is very sparse and you have had serious problems
with crabgrass in previous years, you may wish to apply a crab-
grass control. This material must be applied very early in the
spring because it stops the crabgrass roots as they begin to
grow. After a crabgrass control has been applied, the soil surface
should not be disturbed in any way. Raking or digging will
destroy the effectiveness of the crabgrass control material.
