Green lawn effort pays off for Pontius yard neighbors
Hyde Park readers learn how the Pontius family at 5213 Blackstone transformed poor soil into a lush lawn. They added soil, sowed rye and Kentucky blue grass, watered, and protected the sprouts with a temporary fence. Fertilizer and future care followed, with guidance from the Hyde Park-Kenwood garden committee and University of Illinois Extension Service.
