dressing and why should I do it?
A. The best bowling greens have benefited from
top dressing for hundreds of years, the oldest in the world dating back to
before A.D.1299.
When you top dress a lawn you add a fine layer of fresh soil
to the lawn’s surface which helps to build soil quality over time and provide
benefits for the lawn. If you have sandy soil it will help it to retain
moisture and resist drought. Clay soil will drain better and root development
will be helped.
Timing is important and it’s best to aerate and/or scarify the
lawn before applying top dressing. Top dressing will help to even out the lawn,
filling in hollows, and it helps to stimulate the production of new shoots for
a denser grass cover, keeping weeds and moss at bay.
