 Lawn...Nature-ally 



Nature-ally Is the way to a 

 beautiful lawn 



The grass seed you select must be adaptive to our unique climatic condi- 

 tions. Bolgiano, as your local seed house, selects and mixes only high quality 

 varieties of turf grass seeds that have tested and performed well in this area. 



Nature-ally plant your lawn 

 this fall 



Ally with nature and plant your lawn this fall. Fall is nature's time to drop 

 seeds. The cool-season grasses used in Bolgiano's mixes give maximum 

 root growth in fall and early spring when top growth is slow. A well devel- 

 oped root system is much better able to withstand the stress of summer 

 heat, and will crowd out weeds. 



Nature-ally prepare your soil 



Where a sufficient depth of reasonably good topsoil does not exist, that 

 which is there must be improved to a depth of 4-6 inches, or additional good 

 soil must be broughtin. 



Nature-ally improve your soil For each 1,000 square foot area, work in to a depth of 4-6 inches 50 



pounds of organic material such as Milorganite, or cow manure (free of 

 weed seed.), 100 pounds of reed-sedge peat moss or humus, 25 pounds of 

 super phosphate and 50 pounds of ground limestone. These materials can 

 be spread at one time and worked in together using a spading fork, spade, or 

 small rotary tiller depending on the size of the area. Level off to make the seed bed; then spread 5 pounds of 

 Bolgiano's turf food; cover lightly before seeding. Care should be used to assure proper grading for good drainage. 



Nature-ally seed your lawn 



Sow seeds according to coverage recommendations on box. It's the num- 

 ber of seeds in a package that's important - not the weight. 

 Using either a mechanical spreader or by hand, walk in parallel rows in one 

 direction sowing Vi the required quantity of seed, then walk in parallel rows 

 at right angles sowing the rest of the seed. 



This will insure even coverage. After seeding, roll the area or tamp the earth 

 firmly, to promote a good soil to seed contact. This helps the seed draw water from the soil. Then water with a 

 sprinkling effect but do not soak! Keep the earth moist until the seeds germinate.

Nature-ally improve an 

 established lawn 



Rake the lawn vigorously with a metal rake. Bite into the soil, tear out 

 undesirable thatch, rake in some peat, apply 50 pounds ground limestone 

 and 5 pounds of Bolgiano's Gold Tag Ura-Form Turf Food for each 1,000 

 square feet of lawn. Sow seed according to preceding instructions.
