Frequently Asked Questions

Question: what seed/cultivars would you recommend for a heavy, slightly alkaline soil?

Navigation
Answer: Presuming this is a sports application, then a ryegrass based mixture will suit this soil type best. Either A20 Ryesport, or A8 Renovation. As with all soil types, good aeration will assist with good root development and with heavy soils this is essential.

What clones / cultivars do you recommend?

Bioenergy and Biomass Frequently Asked Questions
For switchgrass, the best performing cultivars have been "Alamo" for the deep South and mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S., "Kanlow" for the mid-Atlantic region, and "Cave-in-Rock" for more northerly locations where the growing season is shorter and greater cold tolerance is required. Among the tree crops, willows grow best in the North-East and North Central regions, and hybrid poplar in the Great Lakes states and Pacific North-West.

Question: Does soil type and aspect have any influence on grass seed rate?

Navigation
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.

Question: Can you recommend a low maintenance seed mix for highway verges?

Navigation
Answer: There are a couple of options for this. Either our A18 Road Verge Mixture which is very similar to the highways specification. You can also consider the A22 Low maintenance which requires 50% of the cutting input compared with other general purpose landscaping mixtures.

My baby is very heavy, what sling would you recommend?

Little Possums - Frequently Asked Questions
If you are buying for a baby under 5 months old we would recommend a wraparound sling. They spread the weight evenly across both shoulders, your back and your torso and are amazingly comfortable to use. If you are buying for a baby 5 months or older a wraparound sling is still a good option. For much heavier older babies a woven wraparound like the Ellaroo Wrap has a slight advantage over the stretchy wraps as it supports your back a little better.

Why register cultivars?

Frequently Asked Questions
Because a registered cultivar name can only be used once. Therefore the first person to register a name has the sole use of that name and no one else can register a curcuma bearing the same name. It provides a way of identifying the cultivar. For example, when the buyer purchases a plant from a catalogue, they can check the details in the Registration List to see the characters of the cultivar and can then be certain what they are buying.

Which cultivars should be registered?

Frequently Asked Questions
It is recommended that the cultivars to be registered are propagated vegetatively, either from a selection from a wild population or as a result of hybridisation. This vegetative propagation is important in curcumas because the offspring of both seed setting species and hybrids are extremely variable. It is recommended that the cultivar submitted for registration should be unique and of commercial quality.

Do you perform radiation seed implant surgery for prostate cancer? For whom do you recommend it?

David H. Cornell, MD, FACS | Phone (404) UROLOGY
Clinically referred to as brachytherapy, I have been performing radiation seed implant surgery for prostate cancer for almost 20 years. The current technique with ultrasound guidance is much more accurate than the technique of the 1970's and 1980's. Virtually any man with localized prostate cancer is a candidate for this procedure.

What type of preparation is needed to the soil before adding seed or sod?

Long Brothers Landscaping | Landscapes Irrigation Hardscapes...
Ideally, a soil sample should be taken to find the pH level. This will allow amendments to be added to reach the proper pH level. The area should be free of rocks and weeds and loosened enough to allow the seed or sod to grow properly.

Question: What causes soil to swell?

Water problems - Structural problems - Concrete - Foundation...
The change in rock or soil volume is caused by the chemical and physical attraction of water molecules to the tiny clay plates that make up the expandable, montmorillonite clay material often called "bentonite." As moisture or water comes in contact with the clay, the flat plates are pushed farther apart. In a sample of pure montmorillonite the plates may expand so much that the sample increases up to 15 times its original volume.

I just can’t seem to get beans to grow for me because I have such heavy soil. What can I do?

Your Backyard Garden & Vegetable & Herb Gardening...
First, break up the clay as directed on page 298. Next, dig a trench ten inches deep and five inches wide and fill it with an equal mixture of sharp sand and peat moss: that will give the beans a good start. Next, drive metal stakes six feet tall into the ground and stretch wires between them at the top and the bottom. Every place you plant a seed, fix an upright wire for pole beans.

Question: What type of fertilizer would you recommend for roses, and how much and how often?

Frequently Asked Questions - Spring Valley Roses - Hardy Ros...
Answer: There are about as many special recipes for rose fertilizer and techniques for feeding roses as there are rose growers. All you need to know is that for a rose to produce a good show of blossoms, it needs to be fed. That food may come in the form of compost or well-aged manure, or come in a bag or bottle of ready-to-use fertilizer. We prefer a mix of both. We apply a shovel-full of compost per rose in early spring and late fall.

WHAT ARE HEAVY METALS?

Frequently asked questions about Oral Chelation Formula, Liv...
Heavy metals are trace metals with a density at least five times that of water. They are stable elements that cannot be metabolized by the body and get passed up in the food chain to human beings (bio-accumulate). The most common and harmful heavy metals are Aluminum Arsenic Cadmium Copper Lead Mercury and Nickel. There are many more existing heavy metals that are not as prevalent or as harmful as the previously noted elements.
