Hi Guys,

I've been tagging along on a whole bunch of threads and have picked up a basic understanding of how things work but if have a few questions that I'd like your expertise/opinions on of you have time.

Q1:. Soil life. I have two areas of my yard. Area one which has had new soil brought in when they built the house last year and area two which has been unkept/original land. The question is, how much microbe life do you think is there? What would be the best way to add microbes if needed? I ask because I want to use organics (have been with milo) but I feel the grass reaction is slow (over the 3 weeks) and I'm wondering if the microbe population isn't big enough.

Q2:. How long does it take for cracked corn to break down?

Q3:. Is it beneficial to just sling compost around? Nothing of any depth but I was thinking a sprinkling to just get some stuff onto the soil.

general stuff. KBG grass, soil test was done and I'm following morpheus's recommendations. Lawn planted last fall so it's young. Watering is deep and infrequent (man an inch of water is a lot!). I live in MA.

I am fighting clover and some weeds right now even though I put prodiamine down in April.

thanks
