After 18 months of constant struggle with my turf, I took pictures to the extenstion agent. He looked at them and said soil problems. (remember, they put about a 1/4 inch of top soil on top of the sand.)
Had Adam Neusbaum from Black Kow come out and put down 3 cu yards of cow poop mulch on my yard. Watered a lot the first week. I now have the greenest yard on the block. It is also *finally* closing up the empty spots in the turf and choking out the weeks.
Oh yeah. For those who worry, the compost doesn't smell at all. It is very well aged and them micro-screened before delivered.
