5 With proper care even shady lawns can perform well. As a rule, mow on the high side, irrigate carefully to avoid excess moisture, and fertilize sparingly. Also adjust your expectations and accept the reality that turf in shade will rarely look as good as turf in full sun. Sun flecks throughout the day can often provide enough light to sustain reasonably good lawns even if the site seems generally too shady. Establishing a New Lawn Soil testing Site preparation Planting Mulch Standard site conditions in Oregon Ready for planting!?!? 5
6 Soil preparation Install sprinkler system, if desired. Till. Incorporate starter fertilizer. Level (grade). Remove rocks & debris as necessary/desired. Roll to create a firm seedbed. Alternate raking and rolling until surface is graded satisfactorily. Searching for the optimum seed rate for P rye 2 lb 4 lb 6 lb Perennial rye seeding rates 8 lb 10 lb 12 lb 6

8 Damping off in mid summer seeding Seeding Overview Optimum times: Aug 15 Sept 15 & May 1 June 15. Mid summer is a bad time use treated seed or sod. Late fall plantings tend to be weedy and too soft to mow. Mulch is useful in cool weather but may cause damping off in hot weather. Increase seed rate to replace mulch. Increase seed rate in late fall. Decrease seed rate in hot weather. Fertilize with N at planting and again 4-6 weeks later. Pennington s Penkoted seed will help reduce problems damping off. Renovating an old lawn 4/20/05 Kill existing turf. Take care of any and all soil disturbances. Sprinkler system installation. Leveling/grading. Aerating. De-thatching. Water lawn, if necessary, for ~3 weeks. Kill germinated weeds. Do not disturb soil! Seed as per establishing a new lawn. 4/21/05 4/27/05 8

Broadleaf Weeds Weeds Broadleaf Grasses Moss With good management practices, broadleaf weeds are rarely more than a minor inconvenience. Hand pulling or spot-spraying with selective herbicides are generally suitable strategies for controlling weeds in a well-maintained lawn. 17
