Leather makes its mark, as the upholstery fabric of the 90s Wrinkles, scars and stretch marks — the words evoke negative images in most minds. However, when in the market for buying leather upholstery, look closely, because they are the signs of quality leather.

Fertilization, critical for heafthy fawn By Pam Charbonneau Turfgrass Advisor Adequate fertilization is critical in maintaining a healthy, vigorous lawn. A well fertilized lawn will be more likely to resist weed invasion and less likely to be seriously damaged by insects and diseases. Soil testing is the most accurate way of determining the amount of potassium, phosphorus, lime or sulphur required by your lawn. The soil in your lawn should be tested every two to three years. The amount of nitrogen needed for your lawn cannot be determined by a soil test. A lawn which is comprised mostly of Kentucky bluegrass generally requires 1.5 - two kg. of nitrogen per 100 m2 per season. If your lawn contains perennial ryegrass it might require up to 2.5 kg. of nitrogen or if fine fescues make up a part of your lawn you will need less (.5 - 1.5 kg. of nitrogen per season). A complete fertilizer contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potas- sium. Nitrogen is required in the largest amounts by turfgrass. It is responsible for the dark green colour. Phosphorus is a very important nutrient at the time of lawn establishment because it encourages good root growth. Potassium is responsible for stress tolerance in the turfgrass plant and is required in amounts second only to nitrogen.
