Loose Soil
Two years ago I relandscaped an area of my lawn (in Northern Indiana)
that did not have grass. I added top soil from a local hardware. The soil looks really dark and loose. Now two years later I am still having trouble keeping grass in the area. A few places the grass seems to be well rooted and healthy but a vast majority of the area is so loose that the grass comes up in clumps when ever I run a rake over it. Is this called erosion? I notice however that other parts of my lawn where I planted grass and *didn't* put in top soil the grass seems to grow better. I thought I was doing a good thing by adding "top" soil but I am afraid I have created a hostile environment to the grass seed. Can I add something to my soil to make it more hospitable for the grass? Or can I plant a special kind of grass that will root deeper. The only other things to note are that it is on a very small incline (barely perceptable) and it is mostly shaded. Thanks for your help, Dannie |
