Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laying Down Land to Permanent Pasture: And the Improvement of Old Grass Lands IF the land is not clean, it is well to take a crop of turnips or other roots previous to laying down grass, which will afford opportunity for more effectual cleaning than can be done in the winter months preceding the seed-sowing. The importance of getting the land into a good tilth, fine, firm, and level, cannot be overstated, for if it is rough or hollow, some seeds will be too deeply buried, and others not covered at all. Should the field be full of weed seeds, they will germinate more quickly than the grasses, and take possession of the soil. Useless grasses are, however, the most serious weeds, and hence pure seed is all-important. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
