To recondition poor garden soil, work 2 inches into the top 4 to 6 inches of soil.
To maintain healthy soils and for heavy feeders like roses and most vegetables, 1 inch of Monhegan Blend is sufficient.
For normal feeders like herbs and flowering plants, 1/2 inch will do.
For Patching:
Thoroughly rake any dry or bare spots in your lawn, removing thatch, stones and debris.
Fill in with Monhegan Blend, lightly tamp down, smooth over with a rake, seed, mulch and water.
For Filling:
Fill any low spots or depressions in an established lawn with Monhegan Blend. Make sure to overfill the hole, then lightly tamp it down, smooth it over with a rake, seed, mulch and water.
On any well established lawn, top dress 1/4″ to 1/2″ of Monhegan Blend at least once a year, in the spring or late fall.
Apply with a spreader or broadcast by hand, lightly rake to level, tamp or roll, seed (where required) and water.
