"SPRING LAWN CARE"
Early spring lawns can appear straw-coloured and dead. First, mow the
lawn If it seems very dense and matted, then give the lawn a good, vig-
orous raking. Rake up and remove the piles of material. This raking
opens up the turf for 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 crabgrass 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
Next Week: Crabgrass - Can it be controlled?
