After getting such a great start, are they going to rope off the bowl
again and reseed to finish letting the grass grow?
Lord, NO. The grass was a one-time only thing for the Orchestra. Even
then, it was a huge effort, requiring seeding, fertilizing, some
tilling, watering and-- this is the most problematic part-- closing it
off to park users for roughly a month. This is not something to do on a
frequent basis.
And this was to get a grass covering that was, frankly, not very
long-lasting. If you want to really, really establish a strong, hardy,
robust, lush little lawn in the Bowl, you'd have to rebuild a lot of
it-- establish better drainage, regrade the sides, till the soil
tremendously, cover it with a foot or two of sod, water it frequently
and-- this is still the most problematic part-- closing it off to park
users.
