How do you grow Korean grass?

Korean grass (Zoysia tenuifolia) is a lovely, hardy compact grass that grows in mounds. It is possible to grow them as flat turf, however will then require regular care to reroll down the sod and mow frequently. Left alone, it is perhaps the most decorative of the three common types of Zoysia found in the U.S.

While it is currently possible to grow from seed, more labor is required and seeds you purchase have to be specially pretreated. There can be a low rate of success with germination. Not impossible to grow from seed, and you might get a better quality plant, but you have to do your research and work the work.

You can more easily plant Korean grass from flats you purchase at a good local nursery store. As with other plants, the less dead, yellowing growth in the flat, the better.

While you may wish to cover your entire bare area with Korean grass from the beginning, it isn't necessary. Dirt between the clumps will eventually be covered, as the grass grows and spreads out over time.

== == Prep the dirt as you would any lawn. Till a few inches into the soil, and remove stones, pieces of branch, and roots from any previous plantings. Mulch and sprinkle on fertilizer. Smooth out the soil, sloping slightly away from any buildings for drainage. Water until the soil the is soft and wet, but without much puddling.

Next, look at your landscape, and think about how you want your clumps to be planted. Korean grass looks best with staggered plantings that curve around. Poke holes in the area before planting to get an idea of what design you'd like.

Begin removing the clumps from the flat. You will see that the clumps tend to be elongated in shape, much like breadsticks. Don't be afraid to gently separate them into pieces that would better fit your landscape. Using fingers, a spoon or spade, dig and set the clumps into the spaces you made previously, about 1-2" depth. Be sure to watch for exposed feeder roots, set them into the soil, and cover. Press the clumps firmly down into the soil for good contact. Lightly rewater the soil and plantings.

For warmer climes, such as Southern California, water three times a day the first week just until the soil is soft, two the second, and then every day or every other thereafter. Like any other lawn, monthly fertilizer sprinkles help! Again, don't overwater so it puddles.

Korean grass is a generally drought tolerant grass. Sometimes Korean grass develops patchy or thin areas over time... this can usually be corrected by shorter watering times and less fertilizing. Bear in mind that it goes dormant in the winter and can get brown for a few months. It will return green in the spring with regular care.

Although it should be ok in full sun, I have seen that it's generally greener in the partial shade areas of my Zone 23 neighborhood near downtown Los Angeles. It is not a recommended grass for colder climes and high traffic areas.

Information compiled from the awesome nursery folks at San Gabriel (the great Mr. Liang) and Sunset Boulevard (thank you Alan!) nurseries, plantanswers.tamu.edu/turf/publications/zoysia.html, turfmerchants.com, and the Sunset Western Garden Book. Google Zoysia tenuifolia for detailed info.

What are three types of speech not protected by the US Constitution?

Dexter Haven of Straight Dope Staff of the Chicago Reader says, "...there are several limitations on free speech, as interpreted by the courts. The most famous example: you can't yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre.

Treason trumps free speech."

Would human privacy be negatively affected as a result of digital technologies?

With digital technologies humans have had privacy limited more and more. This becomes clearly evident in todays society. Even the American government, with its Patriot Act and wire tapping, has embraced an ideology that justifies the limiting of rights and privacy through the use of digital technology. When we live in a world in which you can be "hacked" and all of your personal secrets, private information, pictures, and files can be stolen from under your nose it makes it impossible to attain a privacy previously enjoyed by the world. This would imply that we should take a step back from our technological advancement mindset and look at the world as a place of people with rights and privacy.

Could Noah have taken 2-7 of each animal and today you would have a healthy thriving populations wouldn't they be inbred secondly what animals besides ones located in the general area were on the Ark?

First of all, Noah only took 2 of each animal, , one male and the other female, period. Secondly, there was a "no species left behind" rule instated, so all the species were present,

== Whether Noah took 2 animals (Genesis 7:8, 9, 15 Genesis 7:8, 9, 15 ) or 7 (Genesis 7:2), with only Noah, his 3 sons and daughters-in-law to feed and clean the Ark, the animals will not thrive healthy. With only one window (Genesis 6:16) for ventilation.

Quick reference Genesis 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. Note on Genesis 7:2; Seven is not a pair. It will be 3 pairs and an odd number one. This contradicts 6:19 and 7:15 6:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. note; The letter "A" in "A window" is singular, meaning only one window is to be built.. == == From the accounts in Genesis 6 - 9 many things are stated and many things more are omitted considering the massive size of this boat. Studies have shown that the whole thing was quite feasible in all the major areas.

In relation to minor details, it is important not to jump to unwarranted conclusions with little specific detail. For example, it is not stated directly that there was to be only one, one cubit square, window. This is only an assumption. Many details are omitted from the account such as the complete construction blueprint, the animals food, where they were housed inside etc. Nothing can be proved either way from this.

Many have also made assumptions about ancient technology and that therefore such a structure could not have existed. We do know from the measurements given that the design would have been stable i.e. hard to capsize. We also know that ancient peoples were highly intelligent and capable of engineering and mathematical feats. e.g. Pyramids, Mayan calculation of the synodical period of Mars, and Eratosthenes calculation of the circumference of the earth. See the Related Links for "How Did All The Animals Fit on Noah's Ark?" to the left for an answer. This discusses a number of supposed problems connected with Noah's Ark, and demonstrates possible solutions.

What problems might you encounter having your 90-year-old parents live with you?

First - physical issues. Are you in an apartment? Is is upstairs? If not, are either of your parents in a wheelchair? Are your doors wide enough to accomodate one? Do you have handholds in your shower or tub? Second - Privacy issues. Are your parents willing to give up some of their privacy? Are you? Remember you'll hear each others phone calls, see each others mail (at least the envelopes). Are both of you ready for that? Third - Miscellaneous issues. Do your parents expect you to entertain them? Do you expect to? When you come home from work, will you watch your favorite TV program or will they want to talk? Similar schedule issues can arise if you are their means of transportation. Do they drive? If not, will they look to you as their wheels? This is just a start . . . Good Luck.

You got a 92 GEO Tracker 4x4 manual hubs AT and you have reverse but no Low 2nd or Drive why might this be and how do you fix this problem for the cheapest and easyiest way on your own?

If you have reverse but no Low, 2nd, or Drive gears in your manual 4x4 Tracker, it may indicate a problem with the transmission or the transfer case. You could start by checking the transmission fluid level and condition, and inspecting the linkage that connects the shifter to the transmission. If these are fine, it may require a professional diagnosis to identify and fix the specific issue. Attempting a DIY repair for transmission or transfer case problems can be complex and may not be recommended if you are not experienced in these repairs.

If you are running Windows 2000 Professional and your administrator has been deleted what do you need to do to fix this problem?

Sorry for the answer, but you will need to reinstall.

Wow, I think you are magic if you somehow deleted the "Administrator" profile... It should be unremovable. It holds the key system info, every other profile is a sub-profile of adminstrator. I think you just renamed it and confused your adminstrative properties...

I don't think it is possible to delete all administrators since there always must be at least one "superuser". There is always the default account named "Administrator" you should have created a password for it when you installed windows.
