Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the infestation of weeds in newly installed sod. States that "often preparing for a new lawn brings up dormant perennial weeds or weed seeds, especially if the area recently had weed problems." Suggests factors to consider before installing sod, including 1) what the property was used for prior to becoming a lawn; 2) if the new sod was needed because the old turf was a problem lawn; and 3) inspect the sod before purchasing it. Provides potential methods of controlling bindweed and Johnsongrass, stating that they are "difficult to control...their root systems are extensive." |
