What kind of seed bed do I need and how is the best way to plant alfalfa?

Oklahoma Cooperative OSU Extension FAQ
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.

When is the best time to plant grass seed?

Fertilforce- Q & A
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.

What is the best way to prepare a planting bed?

For a large bed, dig out about 10 inches deep. Fill in the first few inches with sand and peat moss for good drainage. Work in some fertilizer as well. Finally, lay the bulbs down in a pattern you like, fill in with the original soil and water well.

Do I need to bathe my rats? What's the best way to do this?

WF FAQ
I get asked this question quite a bit. It's certainly a personal choice. I was going to make a pro/con list, but pro and con are also personal opinion, so here's a list of 'points'. Rats are individuals, so most of the things attributed to one sex or another are 'general rules' and there's always exceptions to any rule. I would be hard pressed to pick my favorite. I tend to recommend females for young girls that are new to rats and males to young boys just starting out.
