Lawn Care
Lawns may offer an individual or an organization the first opportunity to create an attractive, welcoming impression. Critical to that impression are the types of vegetation, the spatial arrangements, and the obvious care or neglect. Typical contributors seek answers to lawns and lawn care in terms of problem pests, maintenance schedules, environmental impacts, and alternative ground covers.

Um... Good question because i am 12 years old and in the 6th grade. We happen to be just getting over that unit. Some grassland consumers are:hawks, tigers, lions, hyenas, bisons, African elephant (only in African grasslands), black-footed ferret, black rhinoceros, giraffe, greater prairie chicken (i know it sounds weird, but it's true), ostrich, prairie dog, warthog, zebras, hedgehogs and pronghorn. <3

Does the nitrogen in lightning turn grass green?
Yes. Lightning provides the intense energy needed to combine atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into nitrates. The rain then carries these nitrates down to the earth's surface enriching the soil. Acting as a fertilizer, nitrates in an indirect way helps make the grass green.
What PH level do most lawn grasses prefer?
Most lawn grasses prefer a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. This range is slightly acidic to neutral, which enables the grass to efficiently absorb essential nutrients from the soil. Testing the pH of your soil and adjusting it if necessary can promote healthy lawn growth.
What is the best pH for growing grass?
The ideal pH range for growing grass is typically between 5.5 and 7.0. Most grass species prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil conditions for optimal growth and nutrient uptake. It's important to test the soil pH and make adjustments as needed to ensure healthy grass growth.
Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil that is rich in nutrients and organic matter, making it ideal for plant growth. It provides a medium for plants to anchor their roots, access water and nutrients, and support microbial activity essential for healthy growth. Topsoil also plays a crucial role in regulating water infiltration and retention in the soil.
How many square feet are in ten yards of tape?
There are 30 square feet in ten yards of tape. This is because 1 yard is equivalent to 3 feet, so 10 yards equals 30 feet. To find the square footage, you would multiply the length (30 feet) by the width of the tape.
What effect does acid rain have on grass?
Acid rain can have negative effects on grass by reducing the soil pH, which can limit nutrient availability and disrupt root growth. This can lead to stunted growth, yellowing of leaves, and increased vulnerability to diseases and pests. Over time, repeated exposure to acid rain can weaken grass health and potentially kill the plants.
Why do grass seeds need water to grow?
Moisture first ignites the growing process. Nutrients from the dirt in the ground or chemical additives are absorbed by water in the area of the new roots and by capillary action moved up into the new growing grass to produce more growth. Water is the blood of plants. After some growing period - grass and plant are able to extract moisture form the ground by themselves.
What does fertilizer do to soil?
Fertilizer adds essential nutrients to the soil that help improve plant growth and health. These nutrients can include nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are necessary for strong root development, flowering, and fruit production. However, excessive use of fertilizers can lead to nutrient runoff and soil degradation.
I would think it would be because of the chloroplast in the green grass that is essential for photosynthesis. All plants I thought that are green and undergo photosynthesis contain chloroplast in order to capture he suns rays. By the way if you want to get really down to it grass is every color but green because what you are seeing is only the unabsorbed light that is bouncing off the grass and hitting your eye. so it is essentially every color but green if you think bout it. Just a little mind twist.
How do you calculate the correct setback for a snow fence to protect your driveway?
We recently purchased a rural home in Wisconsin. We moved in just prior to the heavy snowfalls in 2007. Plowing out the driveway was a monumental chore which I would like to eliminate this year. Any suggestions on how to properly install a snow fence?
Answer:
When placing a snow fence or tree windbreak, consider that the protected downwind area will generally be 10 to 15 times the height of the fence or trees. For example, an 80% solid, 12-ft high windbreak fence will protect an area 120 to 180 ft downwind. Also, most of the snow will drop within roughly the first 25% of the protected area. For the example of the 12-ft high fence, most of the snow would pile up within 30 to 45 ft of the fence.
A 4-ft high fence will provide 40-60 feet of downwind protection with most of the snow piling up within the first 10 feet.

SEDGES
Any rush-like or grass-like plants of the genus Carex, growing in cold places. It grows in the tundra where Lemmings use it as bedding and a food source.Sedge grass has a solid stem and true grass has a hollow stem.
Why did ogro shop at grass roots garden supply?
Mower for his money. This comes from a cool (and pretty easy once you get the formulas down) math worksheet. Just remember these things:
Radius is 1/2 distance across.
Diameter is all the way across.
Circumference is found by multiplying the Diameter by pie. (Diameter x 3.14 = Circumference)
Area is determined by multiplying the radius times the radius(radius squared, or r^2) times pie. (Radius x Radius x 3.14 = Area, or Radius^2 x 3.14)

When is the best time to plant Bermuda grass seed?
The best time to plant Bermuda grass seed is in late spring to early summer when soil temperatures are consistently above 65°F. This allows the seed to germinate and establish successfully. Make sure to water the seed regularly to keep the soil moist during the germination process.
If a lawn is fertilized and not watered the grass often dies Why?
If you took vitamins only and drink water, what would happen? You would die. Your body and the grass needs water to survive. Water is the most basic need other than oxygen, or carbon dioxide in the case of plants. The other problem is if you add fertilizer to a plant, it needs water to transfer it to its cells. Without this delivery device, the fertilizer is useless and can actually harm the plant instead of helping it.
How much nutrients does grass need?
Not much and far less than the fertilizer companies wold lead you to believe. Nitrogen being the one most over used, especially in the spring; unless you like to cut your grass more than once per week.
With its natural anti-fungal properties, baking soda can be as useful as many strong chemical gardening products. While it's not recommended to use it on your whole lawn, baking soda is effective as a spot treatment for weeds and fungi.
Glyphosate, 2,4-D, and dicamba are commonly used chemicals to kill weeds. These herbicides work by disrupting the growth and development of weeds, causing them to die. It is important to carefully follow the instructions on the product label and consider the environmental impact when using these chemicals.
How long to wait to plant flowers after using roundup?
It is generally recommended to wait at least 24-48 hours after using Roundup before planting flowers. This allows the herbicide to dry and become inactive, reducing the risk of harming the new plants. Always check the product label for specific instructions on when to plant after using Roundup.
What is the Best kind of grass seed for Arizona?
Buffalo grass or Bermudagrass are popular choices for Arizona due to their heat tolerance and low water requirements. These types of grasses thrive in the hot and dry climate of Arizona and require minimal maintenance once established. Be sure to choose a variety that is well-suited for the specific conditions of your lawn (e.g. sun exposure, soil type).
Sunlight can have a big effect on grass because grass uses what is called photosynthesis to grow. Photosynthesis: (esp. in plants) the synthesis of complex organic materials, esp. carbohydrates, from carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts, using sunlight as the source of energy and with the aid of chlorophyll and associated pigments. {deffinition from dictionary.com} So different volumes of sunlight can affect the grass greatly. I hope this was imformative and have a good day.
What are the growing zones in north America?
I dont know about the United states but Canada's growing zones are Arctic Cordillera, Northern Arctic, Southern Arctic, Taiga plain, Taiga shield, Taiga cordillera, Hudson plains, Boreal plains, Boreal shield, Boreal Codillera, Montane Cordillera, Montane Cordillera, Prairies and mixedwood Plains.
Which animals typically make holes in the lawn?
Animals like moles, voles, and gophers are known for making holes in lawns as they burrow underground in search of food. These tunnels and holes can disrupt the integrity of the lawn and create unsightly blemishes.
How is sodium chlorate neutralized after use as weedkiller?
From looking at a chemical analysis of Sodium Chlorate (NaClO3) it would appear that soda crystals would neutralise it. Mix it up in a solution and pour over.
