Yes, this is not a good time to plant grass. It would come up this fall but not be established well enough to overwinter. If you want to seed this fall, wait until just before the first snow. The seed will lay in the soil and come up next spring.

The plants need 6 weeks of growing to anchor themselves in the ground and to get ready for winter. We ship in the Fall from late August to early November. The farther north you are the sooner you would want to receive your order.

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.

Answer: A rose purchased in a plastic pot already has a nicely established root system. You can plant such a rose at any time before winter, so long as you are careful to not knock off the soil from the roots. Of course, spring is the usual time to plant new rose, and the selection is best at that time. But you can plant a potted rose in summer so long as you give it extra water.

Definitely not, if the weeds are actively growing, applying a herbicide will give some weed control. The cooler the temperatures, the slower the weeds will respond to the herbicide.

Perennials are able to handle frost to a light freeze and recover. However, it is best to plant after the worst threats of bad weather are past.

These bulbs, along with other spring flowering minor bulbs can be planted until the soil freezes. Be sure to, add a generous (2-3") layer of shredded bark mulch, straw, or evergreen boughs immediately after planting. First, treat the soil with soil sulfur, or iron sulfate. Mulch the entire area under the branches with one to two inches of peat moss, then shredded bark mulch.

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

The best way would be to plant it with a specialized seeder that can handle small seed. One brand is a Brillion seeder that drops the seed and a set of packer wheels push it into contact with the soil. If a seeder is un-available, scattering the seed with a three point whirly bird seeder can be effective. Start with the gate on the seeder closed as tightly as it will go and still allow seed to come out. Test it on a few acres and adjust it open if enough seed is not being applied.

Burning off weeds only kills the tops and the new seed, but the roots will return to haunt you again.

All warm season grasses go dormant in late fall through early spring – the further north the longer the dormancy period. Remember that most play occurs in spring summer and fall – when zoysiagrasses can provide a far superior playing surface while not requiring the heavy watering (muddy conditions) frequent mowing and restricted access of cool season grasses. In a nut shell this grass is green when you need it to be green and when dormant maintenance costs go almost to $0.00.

Dormant seeding is fine; however, seed should be planted so there is good seed to soil contact. In the event we get early snow, do not plant the seed over the snow. In warmer regions seeding is better done in the spring.

Probably not, since native grass in good condition needs little or no management inputs, there is no cheaper way to put forage in an animal if you have plenty of acres. On the other hand, if you have few acres, and must raise a large number of animals on a small acreage, then an introduced grass might fit you better.

No. But they are an efficient way to meet the 15 clock hour requirement, plus once in a while you can get something useful out of them. Does our certification allow us to take the Praxis in another subject and then be able to teach that subject? I was told Marketing certification does not meet this requirement. A PC certificate is required to qualify through Praxis for another certification area. If you have a PC in Marketing Education, you can.

Yes, we developed a sub-floor to level out the area. The sub-floor is laid down first, then plywood, then the Super-Glide™ surface.

No, No, No. The bulbs must be planted in the ground before the onset of winter to establish a root system and go into dormancy. You have to somehow get them in the ground. Top
