By Herbert r. MeFadden
Landscape: Cardener)
LAWN RENOVATION

Lawn Renovation is the process
of renewing a lawn that has beer
failure, due to the abundance OF
weeds. the drastic effects of the
hot weather and the lack OF suf-
Iicient plant food i'm the soil.
Weed present a serious OBJ
stacle, to the development and the
upkeep OF many lawns. For prac-
teal pupose they may be divided
into ANNALS and pernnials. The
annual group is composed among
others of shepherds purse. chick
enweed and crab grass. The perm
nialnials are more numerous and
consist OF dandelion plantaio buck
thorn, Sheep Sorrel. Creeping
Thyme and numerous others.
Various methods of control have
been tried The most effective are
hand picking and chemicals. Hand
picking is ideal for the small lawn
but is rather impractical for large
cStdttn. III buNu CdhcS, use iron
sulphate at the rate of one pound
TO one gallon of water and spray
several times with small nozzle
All bare. spots in the lawn should
be raked thoroughly and reseeded
with good grade of seed at the
rate of one pound to three hundred
square feet and followed by a light
rolling.
To restore the plant food ell
ements, topdressing OF good gar
en- soil or compost at the rate
OF two or three cubic yards TO
five thousand square feet are re-
commended. They should be spread
on as evenly as possible. then
smooth down with "a mat or the
back OF garden rake. That frees
the leaves from the dirt and al
lows II to settle around the stalks.
