What do you recommend. > All information will be appreciated. > Phyllis Lasser Being halfway through a Master Gardener course and already got the turf (lawn) class under my belt, my best advice is to contact the county extension agent in her area. He will probably recommend a soil test to determine what nutrients are lacking in the soil, as well as the type of soil. The next thing is the type of grass, as fertilizing times, amounts, and type can vary according to grass type. We have not discussed a lot of organic methods in the course :o( , so I can't really help there. But once you have the soil test results and grass type, I'm sure he can either find some information or refer her to someone that could help. Personally, it doesn't matter if I have grass or weeds.........the dogs will pee no matter what. Bobbi Elser
