Soils that have been over-compacted <br />6y equipment should be tilled to breal; up rooting restrictive <br />layers, then harro!aed, rolled or pacf;ed to prepare the required <br />firm seedbed. Grass should be drilled using a grass drill from <br />February 15 to April 30 prior to a period of anticipated moisture <br />and after all other treatment is completed.
