PEOPLE are the source of many lawn problems in the community. These are caused by improper management, abuse by heavy foot traffic, or wrong treatments that do more damage than good. An example of the latter is power raking. It has been highly promoted in some areas. It can do more harm than good if it isnt needed. Usually, there is no need to power rake at all unless there is lots of heavy thatch that prevents the water from penetration. In that case, the ITS OLSENS Stock No. 1975 tAonza r.

This seems to be more of a problem in parks and other public grounds than in home lawns. Poison bait or traps set in their burrows will usually remove them. Domestic animal pets also present a lawn problem not uncommon to the community. Dogs are the main culprits, leaving feces to be removed and urine spots that make discolorations on the lawn. You can cope with the problem either by keeping them off the lawn or hose the spots to dilute the concentration of salts, etc., that may cause the discoloration. HOWEVER, its better to time the fertilizer for cooler WEEDS come in many shapes. Thats understandable since a weed is any plant growing where you dont want it, whether its a broad-leafe- d annual, such as the common dandelion, or a broad-leafe- d course bunch grass such as Tall Feasce. Some lawn weeds may require special attention such as grubbing out or spraying with the proper weed killer.

This will vary with types of soil. Gravely or sandy soil will require more frequent irrigation than clay soil. SOME lawns just look unthrifty. Often this is a result of mowing too close. The only time we suggest mowing close is the first cutting in the spring. At that time you can lower the cutter bar on your mowing machine down to one-hato three-fourth- s of an inch to cut off all the old dead stuff. Catch it and remove it. Then the new grass will come up green and related exhaust tomobile anticipated, but you can let the short clippings filter down through the grass and wont have to catch or rake them. In fact, leaving short clippings on the lawn helps put a mulch on the soil surface to keep the lawn cool. WEEDS present another very common lawn problem in the community. They thrive best when improper mowing, poor fertilization and other environmental conditions encourage them and discourage the desired grass. Sometimes they are unintentionally planted by planting seed that has the undesirable plants in it. ficient or improper irrigation.
