I need to overseed my lawn – it is thin and over run with crab grass and weeds. what is the best grass seed to use?

Don’t be fooled. Most grass seed is annual seed, that means it’s won’t last for more then one year. Make sure you read the bag, and get something that is more then 50% perennial!!!! I would wait till spring to plant it, rake the soil, sprinkle the seed, and if you can…cover with fresh soil, even bagged soil. If you need to plant now….get the seed mixed with newspaper (called grass patch), it will keep the seed warm, and you’ll have a better chance of it growing

I just dug up an old tree stump that was in a yard and now theres a big hole.Can i just throw grass seed in the hole and cover it back up with dirt or is there a certain way of planting grass seed?

Don’t cover the seed. Put the dirt in first, throw the seed on top, and pressing the soil to make good contact.

Grass seed needs light to germinate, and if it’s buried completely, nothing will happen until the soil is disturbed, or washed off enough that light gets to the seeds.

On the grass seed bag it said for new lawns to use scotts starter fertilizer for better results. So i put grass seed with fertilizer. Its been 6 days so far and i dont see anything. Ive put grass seed before and it seemed like it only took 5 days or so… What is the longest it can take? I put sod topper on top of the seeds . A very thin coat just so the birds wont see or eat the seeds. I was told to do this by someone.

Depends on where you live and what you purchased.

Bermuda seed will not germinate in Dallas until late May, and fescue won’t survive our summers.
As a rule of thumb, once ambient temperature is above 50, fescue will germinate.

Now go drink a beer and relax.

I have mostly sandy soil, but some areas are kinda clayey. I have sunny spaces and shady spaces. I am planning on using 2 different types of seeds for the shady and sunny areas. I live in Oklahoma – zone 6 if that matters. We have planted grass seed before but it is really mostly dirt now and we are planning to really plant it heavily this fall and lay hay on top of it to keep it there (we live on a hill). Any suggestions of what type to use or where i can go to research what i would need?

Pensacola Bahia Grass – very hardy and grows well in almst any conditions is drought hardy and resists erosion well too!

Lyrics: http://www.lyrics007.com/Hanson%20Lyrics/Mmmbop%20Lyrics.html

You have so many relationships in this life,
But only one or two will last.
You go through all the pain and strife,
Then you turn your back and they’re gone so fast.

Oh yeah. They’re gone so fast.

Oh, so hold on to the ones who really care,
In the end they’ll be the only ones there.
When you get old and start losing your hair,
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care? Oh care.

Chorus:

MMMBop, ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do. Oh yeah,
MMMBop ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do

Oh yeah, in an MMMBop they’re gone. Yeah.

Plant a seed, plant a flower,
Plant a rose, you can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows.
It’s a secret no one knows.
It’s a secret no one knows.
Oh, no one knows.

(Chorus…)

I just cleared an area of ground cover (dead leaves). The area gets some sun but is often in the shade. It is primarily dirt now. Any tips on what type of grass seed would be good and what other things I would need to do to grow grass effectively in this area? Thanks!

i personally like Bermuda. its really pretty and likes partial shade. Does require a little more water then usual grass but it looks 10X better.

I am getting ready to plant grass in a section of my backyard that is 15′ x 75′, irregularly shaped. I am trying to see which is more cost effective out of sod or seed, so i need help deciding how much seed i would need. I plan to seed very heavily because the area has never been grassy- rock landscaping- and i think it may be harder to grow grass there. any advice?

I did the same job a few weeks ago. I used seed and after 1 month Its almost ready to cut. Much cheaper than turf.

Firstly remove the existing grass which is hard work. Pick and shovel job. Then beat the soil with a shovel and rake out the grass. Level the top soil with a rake.

The next step is to buy your seed. I suggest wilkinsons hardare and Diy chain. I bought mine there and it cost about £20 which was the only cost. Turf probably would have cost £300-400.

Spread the seed evenly and rake lightly. I watered the garden every day and its now growing nicely.

Hope this helps.

KILLUMINATI 2012 (FULL MOVIE)…1st half of this movie is clips from “Biggie & Tupac” documentary film by British documentarian Nick Broomfield, he takes a trip to Los Angeles, where he investigates and solves the murders of rappers Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, the East Coast/West Coast rap rivalries and Death Row Records boss Suge Knight. (Turns out Death Row Records employs more than 40 moonlighting LAPD cops as security guards) … which had something to do with the failure of the investigation!….Other half of this movie is directed by KnowTheTruthTV…. youtube.com/KnowTheTruthTV …..The Rampart scandal refers to widespread corruption in the Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (or CRASH) anti-gang unit of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Rampart Division in the late 1990s. More than 70 police officers in the CRASH unit were implicated in misconduct, making it one of the most widespread cases of documented police misconduct in United States history. The convicted offenses include unprovoked shootings, unprovoked beatings, planting of evidence, framing of suspects, stealing and dealing narcotics, bank robbery, perjury, and covering up evidence of these activities. The Rampart Scandal is notable in popular culture because at least three Rampart police were found to be on the payroll of hip-hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight of Death Row Records, a convicted felon with known ties to the Bloods gang. Moreover, detective testimony and a wrongful death lawsuit filed on April 16, 2007 holds Rampart CRASH officers Nino Durden, Rafael Pérez and David Mack responsible for the 1997 drive-by murder of multi platinum-selling hip hop recording artist Notorious B.I.G……plz subscribe to my channel and watch my other videos….America Is Not In Debt/Broke!!!

WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO AND WE ARE NOT IN DEBT!!! …..The Four Horsemen of Banking (Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo) own the Four Horsemen of Oil (Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch/Shell, BP Amoco and Chevron Texaco); in tandem with Deutsche Bank, BNP, Barclays and other European old money behemoths. But their monopoly over the global economy does not end at the edge of the oil patch. But their monopoly over the global economy does not end at the edge of the oil patch. According to company 10K filings to the SEC, the Four Horsemen of Banking are among the top ten stock holders of virtually every Fortune 500 corporation. So who then are the stockholders in these money center banks? CPA Thomas D. Schauf corroborates McCallister’s claims, adding that ten banks control all twelve Federal Reserve Bank branches. He names N.M. Rothschild of London, Rothschild Bank of Berlin, Warburg Bank of Hamburg, Warburg Bank of Amsterdam, Lehman Brothers of New York, Lazard Brothers of Paris, Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York, Israel Moses Seif Bank of Italy, Goldman Sachs of New York and JP Morgan Chase Bank of New York. Schauf lists William Rockefeller, Paul Warburg, Jacob Schiff and James Stillman as individuals who own large shares of the Fed. The Schiffs are insiders at Kuhn Loeb. The Stillmans are Citigroup insiders, who married into the Rockefeller clan at the turn of the century. J. W. McCallister, an oil industry insider with House of Saud connections, wrote in The Grim Reaper that information he acquired from Saudi bankers cited 80% ownership of the New York Federal Reserve Bank- by far the most powerful Fed branch- by just eight families, four of which reside in the US. They are the Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Lehmans and Kuhn Loebs of New York; the Rothschilds of Paris and London; the Warburgs of Hamburg; the Lazards of Paris; and the Israel Moses Seifs of Rome…..

After I wash my block paving with a high pressure washer what should I do about the gaps, will I need to put sand in gaps to replace everything that was washed out?

Yes you will to avoid movement between the pavers. You may also require the use of a motorized tamper. So to insure that the sand is properly re-compacted. There are modified manufactured polymers designed just for this purpose that DO NOT require a tamper.

Simply pour the required amount of polymer between the pavers and wet this mix down with water. Be careful as to your choice of colors of these mixes. Try a test patch first. They are not expensive ( about $5.00 per bag).

Best Wishes
