New Method of Making a
Lawn in a few Weeks
A new, quick method of establishing
stands of sod on lawns, and more es
I pecially on golf greens where the
I grass gets severe usage, has been
; wor k e d out by botanists of the United
^ .
States Department of Agriculture.
Bent grasses, which grow from run
ners, are principally used in the
method. A quantity of healthy sod is
stripped at a depth of approximately
j
j
1 >/ 2 inches, which gathers in most of
| the grass roots with as little dirt as
possible. The sods are run through a
; feed cutter which is so arranged as to
! slit them into ribbons about 2 inches
j wide and the ribbons are shredded by
| hand, leaving a mass of grass roots,
These roots are sowed broadcast on
the ground, which has been carefully
. .
: and if a golf green
; usually covered about an inch deep
j and rolled,
t.
prepared by plowing and harrowing;
is desired it is
For ordinary lawns it has been
found sufficient to broadcast the sod
shreds and harrow or disk them in.
By this method a good stand of sod
has been obtained in as short a time
as three weeks. The method has been
used on golf courses throughout the
country. A green of the public golf
course in Potomac Park, Washington,
D. C., prepared in this manner, is re
garded as one of the finest in the
country.
