I killed, tilled, rolled and planted grass last fall. I'm finding it's a bit bumpy this year some how. How do I address this? Can I just sprinkle some loose dirt into the low spots to try and level it at?
Any other techniques? I'm would like to avoid anything destructive.
I think you want to aerate and roll every fall and spring. Do it at the right time when it is moist, but not wet, and maybe go in different directions?
This is the approach to take. You will want to fill in really deep spots though. And do not weigh down the roller more than you have to so that you compact the soil more than necessary to even it out.
In freezing climates the soil heaves and creates those bumpy areas.
I would invest $15 in a simple Ph test kit before automatically adding lime.
