Show Bare Spots on Lawns. For hare spots on the lawn sow equal quantities of white clover and blue grass; then rake the ground thoroughly and sow a mixture of wood ashes and land plaster. One quart of plaster mixed with one peck of ashes will make a good mixture. If ground should be dry, water it. Apply the water late in the evening. If ashes cannot be had spread fine manure; the scrapings of the barnyard will answer. The manure will not only fertilize the ground, but it will also serve as a slight mulch for the young clover. For a plot of ground 15 by 20 feet, or 300 square feet, sow one quart of seed. |
