| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests potential techniques for turf establishment, stating that "autumn weather is typically favorable for establishing turfgrass due to cooler weather and hopefully regular rainfall." Also sates that one "must ensure...good seed to soil contact. Seed sitting on top of the soil or simply broadcast spread onto the turf without creating any holes or slits will not be successful." Offers suggestions for species selection, seeding depth, and rates. Suggests that "spreading a light mulch on top of the newly seeded area will help the soil retain moisture and keep the seedlings from drying out." Recommends applying fertilizer at the time of seeding "to help those young seedlings get established." |
