Abstract/Contents: | In renovation it is easy to get something to grow. It is hard to get rid of unwanted grasses, and to achieve the uniformity and quality desired. "Renovation involves establishing new turf from seed without removing the old sod or preparing a seedbed via tilling and grading. We normally renovate turf areas in order to 1) improve the quality of existing turf and/or 2) change the grass species or cultivar to achieve a new look, improve wear tolerance, increase disease resistance, etc. To achieve these goals, there are three basic strategies you might use." Includes: What is Renovation? (Simple overseeding, overseeding following supression of existing turf, complete renovation); Key Steps to Assure Success in Renovation (Choose grasses suited to renovation, Insure good seed soil contact, Seed relatively heavy, Plant at optimum times, Fertilize intelligently, Water carefully). A short summary is included by the author. |
