I read an article that came out of a New Zealand paper "Otago Daily Times" on the renonvations they did years ago to a club and racetrack. I love the way they write here it is;
"The re-turfing and topdressing of the lawn has been rewarded by the appearance of a generous growth of grass, pleasing to the eye and pleasant to walk upon, while the general aspect of the new course is such that the club will be able to throw the gates open to the public on Friday with a good deal of pardonable pride".
So cool. As far as topdressing goes it is still not too late to topdress in November. Now the soil tends to be a little drier and using some good quality compost in conjunction with mechanical aeration will result in improved soil and beautiful green grass next spring. Enjoy your Thanksgiving. Blessings to you and your family.

| Earth & Turf Products LLC has been developing Compost Spreaders since 1997. The main mission of Earth & Turf is to improve our soils to ensure not only healthier lawns and stronger turf but also to reduce run off and conserve water. We believe spreading compost helps achieve those goals in addition to aiding in the efforts to recycle. Compost spreaders are our main focus when it comes to product development. The use of compost on lawns in conjunction with some type of mechanical aeration improves soil permeability and increases the number of beneficial insects and microbes in the soil. Have a good Thanksgiving and keep on spreading the good word.

I just read in the Kiplinger Letter a clip about efforts to clean up the Chesapeake Bay. They say there will be regulations put in place in 2010. One of the issues is pollutants from ground water run off. Earth & Turf Products has been talking about this for some time now. The building contractors have taken too much of the topsoil out of subdivisions when they build them and then put back the remaining topsoil poorly resulting in home owners trying to grow grass on subsoil which does not work well. In addition the soil is not very permeable due to lack of organic matter and good macro pore spaces. Because of this lack of permeability when lawn care companies come in and spray chemicals on the lawns to kill weeds or insects and a rain comes along guess where the chemicals go? They go with the rain water runoff into the local stream which flows into a larger stream or river and on down to the good old Chesapeake Bay. No wonder the Bay is polluted and all kinds of bacteria are present in the water.
Hopefully we will begin to see the light, I guess after regulations are forced on us, to do the correct things with our soils to reduce the runoff and pollution.
Aerating and topdressing with good quality compost each year for three years can positively impact the soil, increase permeability and reduce runoff, plus help bring beneficial insects back into the lawn. This with other organic practices will improve your soil which in turn will improve you lawn and help save the Bay.

| Well it is that time of year again where aerating, seeding and topdressing are in order. This is the best time to establish a good base that will make the lawn look great next spring and give the grass a jump on the weeds. Topdressing is very important in soils that lack adequate organic matter as well as lawns that need to reduce thatch. The combination of topdressing, mechanical aeration and seeding followed by dragging with a mat will really improve the soil which in turns supports good turf growth. Have a great fall season.
