2. Top dress effected areas with compost and rock dust.

3. Spray soil and lawn with Nitron A-35 and Superseaweed. Agri Gro is excellent also.

4. A good application of compost several times per year will help to increase soil bacteria and earthworm traffic. Compost and rock dust will also increase the minerals available to the soil and the lawn. This will increase roots and increase health of lawn and soil.
