Ten Steps in Lawn Building 1. Break 6 to 8 inches deep with fork or subsoil plow to prevent burying top soil—then level or grade as needed. 2. Apply 2 to 3 inch layer of weed free manure or well rotted saw- dust or 3 bales peat and 200 pounds dehydrated manure per 1,000 sq. ft. 3. Spread 50 pounds ground agricultural limestone and 50 pounds fertilizer per 1,000 sq. ft. 4. Thoroughly mix lime and fertilizers into top 6 inches of soil, then smooth surface. 5. Seed 5 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. Wyatt- Quarles adapted Lawn Mixture between Sept. 1 and early Spring; Sunny South for sun; Carolina for partial sun and shade; Shady Nook for shade, in the Piedmont. Use Wyatt- Quarles Coastlawn in the Coastal plain. Divide seeds into 2 or 3 equal parts, sowing entire area with each part. 6. Soak thoroughly but slowly to avoid moving seeds. Keep moist until grass is up. 7. Use mower set to cut at 2V2 to 3 inches until sod is established. Shade tolerant grasses are seriously injured, often destroyed, by close mowing. 8. Soak thoroughly during dry periods. 9. Feed regularly, at 8 week intervals, year 'round, with 20 to 40 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft., high grade fertilizer adding 50 to 100 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. of dehydrated manure where stand is thin. Always sprinkle after feeding. Where soil tends to pack, double application rate of manure and aerate with spike disk or fork. 10. Apply additional seeds as needed just before feeding. 16 WYATT-QUARLES SEED Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may ha
