Abstract/Contents: | "Resodding old or damaged turf has important advantages over seeding, and intensive site preparation isn't always necessary. Two factors need to be considered when assessing a turf renovation program by sodding. The first factor is the time of year. The second factor is the amount of site preparation which is performed. Sodding with minimal site preparation will only be successful where soil conditions such as compaction or low fertility are not a problem. In either case significant soil disruption is necessary to relieve the compaction or to incorporate phosphorus and potassium. Minimal site preparation may not be successful where the renovation was made neccessary through disease or insect damage." |
