Why not? Remember, just before a snow, top dress with a light sprinkle of soil so the birds don’t think you’re a horticultural philanthropist.

Fall is the best time to sow because there is a more developed root system by the time summer drought stress occurs. Spring is the second best time because the temperature and moisture is good for germination.

It all depends on which product is used. For products that contain a selective weedkiller such as EverGreen “I Want Complete Lawn Care” it will be 6 weeks. For other products please consult the label or a Consumer Services Adviser.

There is seldom only one mouse at any given time so it's easy to underestimate the total numbers involved. Double Strength Ratsak is a multiple-feed rodenticide. Each rodent needs to feed for between 7-14 days on Double Strength Ratsak in order to ingest enough to be killed. While this slows down the result, it is an added safety factor and reduces the risk of secondary poisonings.

Dormant seeding is fine; however, seed should be planted so there is good seed to soil contact. In the event we get early snow, do not plant the seed over the snow. In warmer regions seeding is better done in the spring.

To establish a lawn in western Washington, choose a combination of turftype tall fescue grasses and turftype perennial rye grasses. A mix that adds up to about 90% of these two grass seed types will grow well in either sun or light shade in western Washington. Turftype perennial ryegrass takes full sun and stands up to traffic. Turftype tall fescues are adapted to shadier locations. In combination, the mix works for a lawn in average light conditions.

In this area the best time to put grass seed down is in the spring during the months of April and May and in the fall during the month of September.

The best time of the year to sow and establish grass is in the early autumn (August/September) when soil temperatures are high and the soil is usually dry enough to be cultivated while retaining sufficient moisture for germination. The parks Department carries out new development work including sowing of grass from April/May through to October and sometimes outside these months, where weather conditions permit

Yes. Seed may be kept for the producer to sow on their farm for their own usage. Subsequent seed (ie 2nd or later generations) or product from the later generations may not be sold/traded/bartered etc as propagating material without the grantees authorisation.

In St. Louis, we are in the transition zone between ideals for northern and southern grasses. Tall Fescues are best adapted for our area where there are extremes of cold winters and hot summers.

Start with top-quality grass seed. Work the soil up a little with a rake. If you are overseeding consider using a slicing machine. Evenly sowing larger areas by hand is difficult, so use a spreader. Cover the seeds by raking a little soil over them. Fertilize and mulch only if it's on a hillside. Use very little mulch. Water, water, water.

In this case, it is essential to check information on the bag. Because weed killers vary in their ability to linger and prevent seed from coming up, the answer will depend on the product. Always follow the label directions. Crabgrass Preventer: Do not sow seed within 4 months of applying crabgrass preventer. By fall, which is the best time to sow seed of cool-season grasses anyway, you should get good results from seeding.

In this situation the crops that can be re-sown in the spring, as long as 10 weeks have elapsed between application of Kerb and sowing of the subsequent crop, include field beans, broad beans, peas, chicory, radish, clover and lucerne. The most popular choice is normally to sow spring oilseed rape.

A blend of fine fescue, bluegrass and certain varieties of perennial rye can tolerate a fairly shady area. However, dense shade may require ground covers or shade type perennial plants. More important is cultural practices such as irrigation and more frequent light applications of fertilizer to make up this loss taken by trees.

Adopt six or seven cats. Seriously, though, cover the seed with one quarter inch of topsoil, pat down or roll gently. The faster it sprouts, the more you keep and the less the birds eat. You can also slit an old tennis ball and force it over the end of a six- to seven-foot piece of old garden hose. Draw two mean eyes and a nasty mouth, and place yellow strips of tape like Xs down the hose. Let this lie on the seeded area until the seed sprouts. Why? The birds think it’s a snake.

None, really. That’s not exactly true, but then they haven’t developed an Astroturf seed yet. There is no true shade grass; all grasses like some sun. However, the best of the bunch that can get along with less sun than the rest is Poa trivialis. Kentucky 31 tall fescue, Zoysia, Japonica, Zoysia matrella, Astoria bent, Highland and Penncross bents, as well as creeping red, Illahee, and Chew-lugs fescue, all will tolerate light shade.

Most any type of grass seed can be used in Hydroseeding, factors such as climate conditions will be the determining factor as to which grass type is recommended. A Pro Turf Care professional will help you make the right decision for your lawn.

Of course you can play on an artificial grass pitch during winter. You just have to remove the snow from the surface and the pitch is ready to be played on. Snow or freezing temperatures do not influence the quality of an artificial grass pitch.

They can live quite happily, through the coldest winter, if they have an insulated coop or a light inside their coop. The smaller the coop, the easier it is for them to keep it warm. Birds can get frostbite. Birds with large combs tend to be more susceptible. Also, some breeds are just hardier than others.

Ryegrass can be mixed with fertilizer and applied to the pasture through the fertilizer spreader or it can be spread with a three point whirly bird type seeder. It can also be planted by a drill with a small seed box but care should be taken to not plant it deeper than ¼ inch. With broadcast seeding, pulling a chain harrow over the pasture after seeding will increase germination and survival of the plants.

A: Turffalo brand grass is extremely difficult to establish from seed, so we do not consider that an option for propagation. Both plugs and sod are a very viable method for installing Turffalo grass. Currently only plugs are available and we expect for sod to be available in the near future.

Answer: Yes, grass seed application rates do vary according to soil type and aspect. On average, seeding of a general landscaping mixture containing Perennial ryegrass is around 25g per metre square. For soils which are heavier in texture such as clay loams, or soils with extreams of acidity or alkalinity, then seeding rates should be increased to between 35-50g per metre square. This helps to compensate for seedling mortality.

If you sow the seed first, let the grass grow to a height taller than 3 inches, then mow to a height of 3 inches, then apply FertilForce™ Pellet Concentrate! A pre-emergent, such as FertilForce™ Pellet Concentrate, prevents seeds from germinating. Therefore, it must be applied before the seeds germinate. It does not kill existing weeds. A post-emergent, such as FertilForce™ Pellet Concentrate kills already existing weeds. It is sprayed directly on the foliage of the weeds.

Response: We utilize a blend of bluegrass, and fescues that are bred for our climatic conditions. More Lawn Information
