Filling In Bare Spots

Tips to Make It Simple

If your lawn has bare spots, the best time to take care of them is in the spring. here are some tips to make filling in those bare spots a breeze.

- If the spots are small - say a few inches across - don't worry about them. They will fill themselves in if the lawn is fertilized regularly.

- Larger spots can be filled in easily. First work up the soil in the bare areas with a trowel or other garden tool. You don't need to go deep; and inch or two is fine.

- Spread your seed product over the area and water regularly to keep the soil damp. The new grass plants should soon be sprouting, and in a few weeks the bare spots will be gone.
