"FROM YOUR GARDEN
by Dr. Peter Asgrow *

CONSTRUCTING A LAWN FOR PERMANENT BEAUTY
Nothing, nothing whatever, means so much to the garden as
good green grass. In fact a garden may be regarded -as a lawn
with floral borders and suitable shrubs or trees. The house,
too, is enhanced in appearance
by the pleasing green’setting,
just as a picture is by a harmonious frame. Care in making
A lawn should last as long as its
housé. Both are meant to endure
and will do so if they are properly
constructed at the outset. A house
will not stand up without a good
foundation and no more will a
lawn, but some houses are hun-
dreds of years old and so are some
We begin with the soil. There
are two main divisions of it in your
garden and everywhere else — top-
soil, in which life and fertility are
concentrated; and below it the sub-
soil, very deep but relatively life-
less and inert. If the subsoil .is
fargely sand and gravel, it will
drain away superfluous water, but
if it should be clay, so that pools
of rain water stand on the surface,
you may need to have drains laid.
The first thing to do with the
topsoil is to find out how deep it
is and whether it is fit to grow
grass. The grass roots are much
more extensive than the green parts
above ground, and they need a
minimum depth of four inches in
which to spread for plant food and
‘water, and to get a good hold on
ithe soil for anchorage. A depth of
six to eight inches is even better.
“This may mean that you will have
to add some topsoil. If so, be sure
to get it from a reliable source.
and maintaining a lawn is amply repaid. |
or you may buy some from a com« .
mercial nursery, but beware of the
itinerant truck with a: load of
“black dirt” which may have come
out of a swamp. {
Next find out if the topsoil is
acid — or sour — as most old soils
usually are, since lawn grasses
make poor progress in sour soil.
This condition can’t be told: by
sight, touch or smell but is readily
detected” by a simple ‘test. Your
garden supply center will either do
it for you or tell you how. to get
it done. Lime corrects acidity, and
even if you skip the test you will
probably not be far wrong in ap-
plying 50 pounds of ground lime-
stone per 1,000 sq. ft. Ground
limestone in this form is slower
acting but longer lasting than
hydrated lime, of which you need
only half as much. Another good
effect of lime is in conditioning the
soil, helping it to have a smooth
texture and a little, a very little,
supplies the plants with calcium.
“ Spread the lime evenly all over
the surface before you start to dig.
The best way to do this is with a
two-wheeled lawn spreader, which
you will find a profitable invest
ment as you will need it also for
seeding and will be using it regu-
larly, later-on, for spreading lawn
Old pasture land is good, being
likely to be fairly free from weeds,
