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.
