killing off lawn organically in order to regrow
wrote in message news:1119836218.465cb5eeba9c13bdbfde5177b6e21644@m eganetnews2... I have a yard that is infested with creeping charlie, clover, etc. the soil is poor with high clay content. I want to kill off the entire lawn without using chemical and reseed in the fall in the hopes that I have a decent lawn to work with in the spring. I live in zone 4-5. any recommendation? Yup... plow it under. Mix in some peat or other organic material to help break up the clay a bit (I've heard that gypsum can be used - never tried myself). Turn it over/mix it up every week or so to prevent anything left from taking hold. |

If you have an aversion to lawn chemicals and you're not going to use a weedkiller on the new lawn you are just wasting your time with this project. The weeds will take over when the new lawn tries to establish itself. You might as well keep your existing lawn. Peter H |
