Merrifield Garden Center: Gardening F.A.Q.
Although seeding can done at virtually any time of year, the ideal times to seed the lawn is during the fall between September and October or in the spring during the months of March or April. These times typically provide cooler temperatures and more reliable moisture, which makes for ideal growing conditions. Dormant seeding can also be done in the late fall and winter, but the seed will not germinate until the spring.

Is winter a good time to sow lawn seed in colder areas?

Frequently Asked Questions - Yates Ltd
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.

Horsetails Have Invaded My Lawn. What Will Get Rid of Them Without Hurting My Lawn?

WSU Master Gardener: Frequently Asked Questions -- Lawns
Horsetail control is difficult. The best management for it in lawn is constant mowing that keeps the plants down. This does leave the problem of the altered texture in the lawn where the horsetails come up, but short mowing will reduce that. In theory, if the plants are constantly mowed, they weaken. They are, however, long-lived and persistent no matter what measures are taken. There are no chemicals registered to control these weeds in a lawn.

How can I rid my lawn and garden of gophers?

SDNHM Mammal FAQs
Gophers are a very common rodent found in most areas of North America. They live exclusively underground where they can destroy plants by consuming the roots or pulling the whole plant down into their burrows. The most effective method of removing gophers is through trapping. Specialized traps are available at most hardware stores. Also available are poisoned baits, which are placed within the gopher burrow, though it is often difficult to find a bait attractive to your particular gopher.

How can I prepare my lawn for drought conditions?

If Plants Could Talk:FAQ
First we must realize that a dry, dingy colored lawn as a result of drought conditions does not mean that the lawn is dying. Cool season lawn grasses simply go dormant during very stressful hot conditions. If a soil test has not been done in several years, this is a good place to start. By following the soil lab's recommendations in the spring you will know how much lime to add for optimal growing conditions.

Can I seed or sod over the product?

Frequently Asked Questions
A very good stand of grass may be achieved through hydroseeding with wood or paper. Mulches such as straw or pine needle should not be used when seeding because of their low moisture holding content. Sod can be used as long as it contains very little soil which may compact and kill the grass with use. A sod that has been washed, cut thin (1/2 inch), or grown in sand or sandy loam is acceptable.

Why do I have to have my seed tested?

FAQ
It is the law. Arizona and the Federal government both have laws outlining and regulating the way seed is to be sold in the state. The definitions and protocols are quite specific as to what is to be done, how it is to be done, and when it is to be done. It is consumer protection. Anyone that goes into an establishment to buy seed needs to know that the seed in that package is what the labeler claims it is and that it will perform at a certain level.
