| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses turf establishment and renovation, suggesting that "the best time to establish turfgrass is in the later summer or early autumn." States that if one is "looking to rescue an earlier establishment, make sure to make a sober assessment of the amount of turf surviving. If the turf was simply thinned from the tough summer or there are small patches of dead grass, a fertilizer application and a return to cooler temperatures should help the existing turfgrass stand to recover and fill in those bare spots." Discusses incorporating seed, providing potential options for "creating the holes/slits to ensure seed-to-soil contact," including "machines such as core aerifiers, power rakes, slit seeders or even hand raking small areas should get the job done." Also discusses matching species, mulch, fertilizer, irrigation, and herbicides. |
