Fine Art The Grass: It grows best on heavy soils but thrives even in sand, preferring warm or hot weather. It is probably the best lawn grass for the southern United States of any grass in cultivation; however in mucky soils along the coast, St. Augustine grass and carpet grass do better. However, St. Augustine grass and carpet grass are coarser and do not give the same fine art the grass mat as Bermuda grass.
Then water thoroughly with a Sprinkler giving a fine art the grass spray. The following day, or as soon as the grass has dried, sprinkle enough sifted soil over the surface so that when brushed down it fills any crevices or openings that show between the turfs. Next spread a little grass seed along the joints and in any spots where the grass is not too thick and brush it in.
Care of a turf-laid lawn is simple.
From the time when the new grass begins to grow keep an eagle eye out for the appearance of the broad-leaved, light green crab grass seedlings and pull them up relentlessly. If there are so many that hand weeding is utterly impracticable your best bet is to cultivate or spade it under before the crab grass goes to seed, and begin again. Under no circumstances sow more lawn grass seed until you are satisfied that the soil has been freed of crab grass seeds. |
