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

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.

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.

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.

Answer: MG6 is an 80% grass 20% wild flower mix. We would reccomend a sowing rate of 5 grammes per m2 Question: I was hoping to find information on your site for pre seeding and turfing fertilisers......please advise as I am writing a specification for a project in Dorset at the moment. Answer: It depends on the soil type you are dealing with, however in most instances the BSH 1. 6-9-6 NPK fertiliser will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy establishment.

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.

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.

All 50 states will take part in this federal audit to measure both Medicaid and SCHIP programs. Alaska has been selected to participate in the 2008 FY, and will be measure once every three years for each program. This will allow States to plan for the reviews because States know in advance in which year they will be measured.

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.

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.

There are several methods you can try to discourage squirrels at the bird feeder. Squirrels do not particularly care for safflower seed. Mixing cayenne pepper in the bird seed will deter the squirrels from eating them and is not harmful to the birds. Creating a routine where you place a handful of seeds out at a time, enough for the birds to quickly eat. The birds will then begin to adjust to your schedule and will soon be waiting for you.

Application amount varies with each sod. A 16-4-8 should be used as a summer fertilizer and 5-10-15 with spring and fall fertilization. Centipede does not like much fertilizer, so even just one application a year is sufficient. St. Augustine requires more care; two applications a year are needed. El Toro is a lower maintenance zoysia than all other zoysia's, so you may fertilize it once or twice a year. Emerald needs two applications.

Legends on the Niagara has bent grass tees, fairways and greens. Whirlpool has a mixture of poa anna and bent grass throughout the course.

Answer: Nailing the truss to a non bearing wall is not recommended. If this is somethin you want to do, you should use a roof truss clip. Roof truss clips are used for alignment control between a roof truss and non-bearing wall. The clip permits vertical truss chord movement when loads are applied.

Answer: Interior will have a standard 7' height with a option to go to 7' 6". Exterior height is 12' 10" at the top of the AC unit.

Answer: Most of our work is on the exterior of homes and commercial buildings. However, we have done interior applications. The interior of the store, JR Tobacco, which required a very special antique brick look, is one such example for which we won a “Contractor of the Year” award from the “National Association of the Remodeling Industry”.

Answer: The best site that I know of for products that heal herpes, genital herpes, scabies, eczema, warts, genital warts, nail fungus, jock itch, and ringworm are at www.naturasil.com.

Dr. Rosenwasser's Answer: They are very similar. If Claritin works well for you, it is fine to stay with it. Dr. Rosenwasser's Answer: At certain doses, both Claritin and Clarinex can cause sleepiness. If Claritin worked well without sleepiness, you should go back to it. Allegra is an alternative as sleepiness is not a side effect. Question: Are any over-the-counter allergy medications effective at reducing mild allergy/hay fever symptoms..

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 ? inch. With broadcast seeding, pulling a chain harrow over the pasture after seeding will increase germination and survival of the plants.

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.
