That’s good advice when it comes to seeding or overseed ing your lawn in early spring when the weather is still too unpredictable to assure the warm soil and consecutive mild days needed for maxi mum seed germination. Re seeding and repair work should be started as early as practical, but the key is to be practical. Seed (cool season grasses) normally germinates during the first extended warm spell, which can be the first week of April in the Midwest. Ideally, seed placed ’A-to-Va inch deep in the soil has the best survival potential. First spread seed in areas needing repair and then rake lightly. Next spike, slice and overseed to make additional openings and to press seed into the soil. Finally, top-dress spots with soil from flower beds or your garden and then hand-water the lawn to help wash seeds into the soil. Generally, it is wise to water a newly-seeded HOW TO AVOID BEING MYTH-LED’ Want to have the most beau- but is no longer necessary be .iful lawn in your neighbor- cause of non-burning fertihz tiood this spring? ers ; Fertilize early in spring You can, but it’s important with a slow-release nitrogen, to avoid being “myth-led” by * .

The most valid reason for not wa- tering during the heat of day is that more water will be lost through evaporation. Grass will dry more quickly, thus re ducing the chance of spread- ing disease. • It’s Best To Fertilize on Snow -Unless you live in the Arctic Circle, you needn’t worry about that this spring.

Keep your lawn moist, but don’t saturate or flood it because too much water can cause seedbed erosion and even inhibit germination. Fertilizers and grass seed will cost up to twice more than last spring, but never has more selection been available to do it-yourselfers. Ten new blue grass varieties are available at modem garden shops. The new perennial rye grasses, including Manhattan and Pennfine, are superior to older types. If your lawn needs a quick initial cover, put down a ryegrass, which germinates in three to seven days. Blue grasses are noted for tight, dense turf and have more di sease resistance. A final suggestion. If you didn’t have your lawn mower serviced and the blade sharp ened before putting it away last winter, do so now. Lawns cut by dull rotary blades are unsightly because each blade of grass has a brown, ragged and chewed edge—a condition that also makes grass more susceptible to disease □ SPRING SEASON STOCKER and FEEDER AUCTION SALE Next Sale May 17, 1974 ' Starting Time 12:00 Noon All Grades, Breeds, Weights Load Lots Small Lots Lancaster Stockyards, Inc.
