Topdress lawns with a thin layer of Soil3 organic humus compost to renovate and improve an existing residential lawn or sports field turfgrass. With this thin layer of Soil3 we are addressing the problems of thinning or unhealthy sod.

Soil3 as a topressing provides these benefits:

• Slow release of natural nutrients
• Improved moisture retention
• Improved soil structure
• Beneficial soil microbes
• Increased organic matter content
• Organic

Applications

• The care of all home lawns
• Maintenance of lawngrass around business; from small sodded areas to large turf areas in strip malls, business parks, or industrial parks
• Organic care of grassy city parks where people play and relax - peace of mind that comes from knowing organic lawncare is practiced!
• All sportsfields and high traffic turf

The process is simple:
1. Spread Soil3 using a garden-variety or professional spreader
3. Spread it 1/4" to 1/2" thick
2. Rake into the grass or use a core aerator to move it directly into the root zone

If topdressing 1/4" to 1/2" thick:
1 cubic bag will cover 2,500 sq. ft.
2 cubic bags will cover 5,000 sq. ft., etc.

(Topdressing of turf also refers to a thick layer of sand or topsoil intended to improve the surface texture of the land under the turf, i.e., to even out bumps and depressions. The goal of topdressing like that is to create a smooth playing surface, often for sports field and golf course turfgrasses. Please note this is not the type of topdressing we are referring to here.)
