In fall, top-dress the Lawn with commercial fertilizer at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre. |
You may leave them undisturbed for years, but if you can top-dress them in autumn so much the better. |
On a dry day, scarify the lawn to remove unwanted thatch and then aerate and top-dress any badly drained areas. |
If necessary, it appears to be reasonable to completely top-dress surfaces which seem to be inappropriate in colour in the first work step. |
The top-dress was fed before feeding as ruminal starch is at a nadir and amylolytic capacity is expected to be low. |
Cut off dead stalks and leaves from perennials, then top-dress the beds with 2 to 3 inches of compost and a sprinkling of fertilizer. |
