I did plan on getting a soil sample before I seeded. But instead of waiting until it gets closer...I'll get it done this coming week.

His real problem is getting the program started this comming spring. The weather is goofy here some years you have to start out in early March other years you need to start in April. Early stoppage of the crab grasses that we get here is more important.

will do!



Do you have any suggestions on soil preparation for seed? I was planning on breaking up the top. The soil is somewhat compacted...but it has loosened up after being exposed to all the elements. Should I bring in any additional soil to mix in when I seed? for a rake over?

thanks,
