| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses strategies for home lawn improvement, focusing on turf type and appearance. States that "in this country, [New Zealand] most people consider that a high class lawn should be made up of a dense cover of fine leaved grasses. This is at variance with the American idea in that their best lawns are much coarser and are cut less closely." Mentions several species to illustrate this point. Highlights soil type and seed bed preparation, emphasizing the problems of poor drainage, lack of top soil, and compacted soil. Reports that this article is to be continued in the next issue. |
