ABSTRACT:
The method involves preparing seed beds in the form of parallel troughs of substantially closer spacing than used heretofore. Seeds for grass having non-rhizoming characteristics are planted in these troughs at a given rate to provide a substantially uniform seed density for all of the troughs. The close spacing of the troughs together with the seed density results in a sufficient plant competition as to force the growth upwardly thereby resulting in a greatly enhanced turf appearance over that which would result using conventional trough spacing and rhizoming grass. The controlled spacing between the adjacent troughs is accomplished by inserting serrated discs between successive flanged discs making up the front and rear rollers of a conventional seeding apparatus.
