Show Lawn Roller Essential for Fine Grass Plot A perfect lawn must have an even surface, either level, or an even slope if the ground dips. Depressions in the lawn lead to bare spots, which must be repaired every spring. Water collects col-lects in them during the winter, ice stands and the grass is killed out. This trouble may be avoided easily at the start. A lawn roller Is an essential es-sential tool for a well-kept lawu. It is needed every season. After the lawn is thoroughly spaded or plowed, the lumps broken up and the soil reduced to a fine tilth and as nearly level as possible, seed It and go over it with a roller. The roller will force the seed into close contact with the soil and will reveal any places that need a little filling in. Go over it with the roller until the surface shows- uo hollows that the roller does not touch. Then you may know that it is right. As rollers are rather expensive, it is a good plan for neighbors to club together to-gether and get a good one. As the need for it is not constant, there will be no likelihood of difficulty In getting a chance to use it. Twice a year ought j to be sufficient. |
