Follow These Simple Steps In Making 
A Beautiful, More Weed - Free New Lawn 
The lawn area is of greatest importance in any landscape plan. You want 
it to be weed-free, thick and sturdy so it can take hard usage. The best 
way to assure that kind of a lawn is to see that it is properly made and 
properly maintained. Here are six steps to successful new lawn making: 
1. Spade deeply. At least to a depth of 6 inches. 
2. Pulverize the soil thoroughly, working in humus material (such as 
peat moss) or sand as required to condition the soil. 
3. Put on 4 pounds of a dependable fertilizer such as Vigoro per 100 
square feet of area and work it into the top inch or two of the seed bed. 
4. Seed, with good grass seed. You need a carefully cleaned seed, low in 
weed content and high in germination, to get a good lawn started 
quickly. 
5. Roll the lawn to compact the soil and assure good contact between 
soil and seed. If you do not have a roller find some means of tamping 
down soil enough to assure contact. 
Water with a fine spray daily until germination of seed is complete. 
Carpet grass seed requires 9 to 10 weeks (sometimes longer) to 
germinate. 
To Keep Your Lawn Lovely: 
1. Soak the lawn when you water it. Soaking once a week is much more 
beneficial than daily sprinkling. 
2. Feed the lawn regularly in early spring and again in early fall with 
Vigoro, or a similar complete plant food. 
3, Reseed bare spots as they occur. You don’t want weeds to get a 
foothold. They will if sturdy, thriving grass plants are not there to 
keep weeds out.
