Not Just for Idiots

The "reader" in the above review did not read the book. It contains extensive instructions for renovating existing lawns. In fact, I have just renovated my lawn based on information in the book and now (3 weeks later) have a nice green carpet of turf in my front yard. She also discusses topdressing at length, a technique I didn't find in any other lawn book I looked at. I found this book very useful and quite comprehensive. IMHO, this is the fundamental homeowner's reference work on lawns.
