Jim,
My lawn is in the middle of pasture land, so grasses of one type or
another grow pretty well. I use sifted compost to bring back areas that have
been damaged
(after a winter of dogs pee-ing on the grass just out the back door).
I have two sifters: a large one with 1/2" hardware cloth and a smaller
one w. 1/4 " hardware cloth. I sift a large amount of compost w the larger
one, let some of it dry a day or two. Then I sift the dried "siftings" with
the smaller screen. This finely sifted compost is great for lawns/potting
plants. I use it in trouble areas - to bring them back. It's much too
valuable to me to use on large areas of lawn.
How's the garden coming?
Tom
