Abstract/Contents:Discusses turf seeding, stating that "cool temperatures [slow] germination and emergence." Suggests reseeding projects begin before summer, stating that "with summer warmth comes crabgrass germination." Also discusses dandelions and suggests the burning down of dandelions during "the puff ball stage" or the fall season. Also suggests mowing high, returning clippings, providing adequate nutrition, and improving the soil through core aeration as potential alternatives to burning.
