Lawn Care

The main adaptation is that their growth points are so low to the ground and so close to the soil that it is impossible to kill grass when you clip it once every few days or once a week. This low growth point is also an advantage when livestock are eating grass out on pasture. The thinner blades also allow more leaves per unit area to grow while all these leaves get the adequate sunlight necessary for photosynthesis. Grasses, if managed properly, also have a fibrous root system that helps build up organic soil matter as the grasses die and grow again. This fibrous root system is also the best way to prevent soil erosion. Grasses also have tillers and rhizomes that help spread out their daughter tillers and keep them growing each and every season.

Fill dirt is dirt that someone has removed from one area and needs to dump somewhere else. Often this is dirt that has been removed so that a swimming pool can be installed or excess dirt from clearing land for construction. There is clean fill dirt, which does not have trash, plant material, rocks or chemical additions and this is preferred for reuse in yards for planting.

Under topsoil, you may find subsoil, which contains fewer organic materials and nutrients compared to topsoil. Deeper layers may include parent material, such as bedrock or sedimentary rock, from which the soil was formed over time.

Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil, usually the top 2 to 8 inches, where most of the soil's organic matter and nutrients are found. It is crucial for plant growth and plays a significant role in supporting plant life.

Dirt is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, and other components found in the top layer of the earth's surface, while sand is a granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. Sand particles are larger than dirt particles, and dirt may contain more organic material and nutrients necessary for plant growth.

Bamboo, specifically giant bamboos are the tallest in the grass family.

It is estimated that there are around 1.47 billion hectares of grass on Earth, covering approximately 35% of the planet's land area. Grasslands are important ecosystems that provide habitat for various species, contribute to carbon sequestration, and play a role in climate regulation.

Silt-laden refers to something that is filled or mixed with a high amount of silt, which is fine sediment often found in rivers, lakes, or other water bodies. It indicates that the substance or area mentioned contains a significant amount of silt particles.

1 cubic yard of rock = 27 cubic feet of rock. 27 cubic feet of rock @ 6" (1/2 of foot) = 27/(1/2) = 54 sf

a cubic meter of soil will weight 550-900 kg depending on its composition

It is estimated that there are over 1 trillion blades of grass on Earth.

Grass makes seeds through a process called flowering. Grass produces flowers that contain male and female reproductive organs. Pollen from the male part fertilizes the ovule in the female part, leading to seed formation. These seeds can then be dispersed, allowing the grass to reproduce.

It depends on the dimensions of the cubic rod. To calculate the volume of a cube, you would need to know the length of one side (in feet) and then calculate the cube of that length (side length x side length x side length). The result will give you the volume of the cubic rod in cubic feet.

Chipmunks do not typically eat moss as it is not a part of their natural diet. Chipmunks mostly feed on seeds, nuts, fruits, and insects. Eating moss is not a common behavior observed in chipmunks.

The mold that can grow when watering grass with milk is typically a fuzzy white or gray mold called powdery mildew. This mold thrives in damp, humid conditions and can easily spread in areas with excessive moisture, like grass that has been watered with milk. It can hinder the grass's growth and health if left unchecked.

There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. So, if you have 1 cubic yard of dirt, it is equivalent to 27 cubic feet of dirt.

My husband and I had this discussion on the weekend. So I lloked it up and this is what I found out. If you let the grass grow long enough it will grow seeds. I usually keep our grass short so I never noticed.

i would think ground up rocks but im not sure!

i reallllly need to know

- yes it comes from rocks. rocks cool then get crushed to dust from comets water and wind. dust turns to mud with water then bacteria plants moss grow in the mud then die over and over again tell it makes living soil. theirs a lot more to it then that. but it takes a long time to make natural living top soil.

The soil temperatre increases as depth increases due to the heat created by the compression of the surrounding earth. The rate of change of temperature with depth is referred to as the geothermal gradient. The geothermal gradient varies depending on location, so there is no uniform answer. On average, the geothermal gradient is approximately 75 degrees F per mile. In volcanically active areas, the gradient can be as high as 150 degrees F per mile. In ocean trenches, the gradient may be as low as 15 degrees F per mile. Decay of naturally occurring radioactive elements may also cause localized increases in temperature in some locations.

The weight of any material depends on the unit weight of the material. Every material has a unit weight and is in effect the density of it. The calculation is then to work out the volume of material (l x b x h) then multiply it by the unit weight. As an example the unit weight of water is 1000kg/m3. This means 1m3 of water is equal to 1 tonne. Concretes unit weight is 2400kg/m3 so Volume(m3) x 2.4 is equal to weight in tonnes. As a guess I would say topsoil has a unit weight of around 1.8 (just a guess) therefore 1 litre would be 0.001m3 x 1.8 = 0.0018 tonnes = 1.8kg. Hope this helps!

It is best to rotor till when the ground is slightly moist, but not overly wet. Tilling dry soil can cause it to become too compacted, while tilling soil that is too wet can lead to clumping and difficulty in achieving a smooth finish.

Clay soil is said to hold the most water. This is because the soil's particles are so small and there are numerous small soil spaces. Water moves slowly through. So there is great water retention.

yes it will!!!! dont freeze if, place it in 4 degrees for a few days. its better for it. btw- there are many seeds which require ths treatment but others which are harmed by it, always check before you do it.

The number of bags in a cubic yard depends on the size of the bags being used. Typically, a cubic yard can fit around 13.5 regular-sized garbage bags with a capacity of 33-35 gallons. However, this may vary with larger or smaller bags.
