GRASS SODS 



in other chapters. Clovers and the grasses want 

 an alkaline soil, and there is waste of money and 

 time in seeding acid land. The lime and the 

 manure must not be mixed together in the air, 

 but both can be used when fitting land for seeding, 

 and both should be used if the need exists. One 

 should be applied early and be well disked into 

 the soil, and then the other application may be 

 made and covered with the harrow. The soil is an 

 absorbent, and the contact of manure and lime 

 within the soil only leads to immediate avail- 

 ability, which is desirable in giving the grass a 

 start.
