LandscapExperts Tip of the Week June 3

When patching fescue turf with a little extra seed, try mulching with cheesecloth instead of straw. It looks neat, does not add any foreign weed seeds, allows more light to reach the grass seed, and conveniently rots away after the patch has grown in. Peg the cheesecloth with short lengths of thin bamboo stakes, which are also temporary and disappear in a season.
