LEVELLING LAWNS
TIME FOR ADJUSTMENT. A lawn is to a large extent judged by the evenness of its surface. If there are pot-holes and lumps it never looks nice, and you cannot mow properly.
Now is the time to adjust irregularities. Litt the turf carefully from the humps, 2in. thick, and remove sufficient of the underlying soil to give you a correct level. Remove the turf also in the pot-holes, and add sufficient soil to give the correct level here, too.
In both cases stir the underlying soil 6in. deep and work in a dash Of boi;e-meal.
After re-laying the turf, fill In the cracks with good riddled garden soil or old potting soil to provide a bridge across which the two sets of roots can tlravel. X
