The best locations are established woodland sites with some established canopy, but which have suitable ground conditions to give the best chance of success.

Grass seed can be planted in either spring or fall. However, fall is the best time because the ground is warm and there is less weed competition. By far the best time is late August to mid-September. This allows time for the seed to germinate and grow, for the grass to be cut once, and for an application of fertilizer to be applied before the first hard frost.

Plant only grasses and shallow rooted vegetation. Roots from trees and bushes can clog or damage the absorption field. Do not dig into, build over, or cover the drainfield with a hard surface such as asphalt or concrete. Grass will remove excess moisture and will allow more oxygen into the soil and into the system. Oxygen in the soil helps reduce the growth of anaerobic (without oxygen) bacteria that create a slime growth that can plug the soil pores and lead to a failing system.

A firm fine seed bed is required if alfalfa is expected to germinate and take root. The seed bed should be firm enough so that when you walk across it, your boot heal print should not be readily apparent. The best way to plant it would be with a specialized seeder that can handle small seed. One brand of planter is a Brillion seeder that drops the seed and a set of packer wheels push it into contact with the soil. A drill can be utilized but care should be taken not to plant the seed to deep.

The best lawn-seeding periods are spring and fall. In spring, seeding is recommended between mid-May and mid-June, while the optimal fall period is mid-August to mid-September.

The seed a hybrid produces does not come true to type, but instead reverts back to the traits of the parent plants. This may result in the seeds harvested from hybrids to produce plants that are very dissimilar to the original plant.

Clyde Robin. Wildflowers are easy from seed. If seed is to be spring planted, first find an area that receives full sun most of the day. Remove the weeds. (Try Grass Getter®.) Rough up the soil to a depth of not more than two inches. Evenly apply the seed you have purchased over the prescribed area being careful not to plant too much seed on a small plot.

Start with what you like. If you like oranges pick a naval, blood, or Valencia. If you like grapefruit pick the white Marsh or a pink Ruby. What you really need to consider is where your citrus is going to be grown. Some are more susceptible to frost damage than others. And although there is always talk about covering citrus trees to get them through the cold nights of winter it's a lot of work.

Ryegrass should be seeded at 20 to 25 lb/ac in October. The seeds are very small and ryegrass is an aggressive plant so broadcast application of the seeds works well. Ryegrass is a very competitive plant and will use up all of the nitrogen and a lot of the water in a pasture prior to the Bermuda grass greening up. If allowed to grow some height, it will also shade the Bermuda grass and inhibit its growth.

The choice over whether to divide large plants really depends on your growing goals and situation. You may wish to grow the plant into a larger 'specimen plant' that will produce larger and more flowers reliably, or you may want to produce divisions for trade or sale if the plant is in demand. Because most of our plants 'work by producing seed, we are very hesitant to divide them unless they fall apart at a division point when they are repotted.

San Diego County offers many urban and rural areas to see mammals. The extensive system of canyons through the urban section of San Diego allows many mammals to live and move somewhat freely. Though to see many different mammals more frequently you should explore many of our public lands including:

Due to certain principles of acoustics, the corner of the room is almost always the ideal location to place a subwoofer. The next best location to place a subwoofer is along a wall. Home theater aficionados may like to place the subwoofer to the side or behind the seating, near the listener, as this will provide better upper-bass impact. For the best experience, avoid placing the subwoofer or your seating in the middle of the room, because there is a bass void there.

Store Idaho Potatoes in a cool, dark and well ventilated place. They will keep about a week at room temperature and for several weeks at 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. However, refrigerator temperatures are too low, which converts the potato's starch into sugar, resulting in a sweet taste. The extra sugar also causes potatoes to darken prematurely while frying. (This process can sometimes be reversed by storing the potatoes at room temperature for a week to 10 days.

Place the machine on a level surface. There should be 6 feet of clearance behind the machine, 3 feet on each side and one foot in front for the power cord. Do not place the machine in any area that will block any vent or air openings. It should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors. Back to top

Diamonds can be purchased from many sources and many different dealers, but the key is to buy from a professional jeweler. Some people like the experience of dealing with a traditional family jewelry, while others want the convenience of shopping several jewelers located together in a mall or jewelry exchange.

Some plants are planted from seed directly into the corner of each pot in the vertical stacks. To turn crops around quicker without much time without production, small plants (plug plants) can be grown. This is a simple procedure and is economical to do. Sometimes you can plant two plants per planting cell when you are starting from seed. When starting from seed, you can use 50% perlite and 50% coconut fiber or just all coconut fiber.

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.

Place smoke detectors in the corridors leading into bedrooms. Mount the detector in the middle of the ceiling or twelve inches down from the ceiling if mounted on a wall. If you live in a two-story home, place the detector at the top of the stairwell. Never place the detector close to a kitchen or bathroom. If possible, place a smoke detector on every level of the home.

Dig a hole large enough in the soil to fit the whole root comfortably, pat down the soil well and water. Fertilize the soil.

Yes. Place a 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch around the plant. This will conserve moisture and help control weeds.

In this area tomatoes and other warm season vegetables are planted in the spring (March) and fall (September). For a complete listing of vegetable varieties and their planting dates request publication SP 103 from your local Cooperative Extension Service.
