Black Oil Seed Sunflowers
Comments (1)Well, I decided to browse and came across the exact post last week or so. So off to that post I go!...See MoreHonda GVX160 - rattle and black oil
Comments (3)"The oil is thin and black after 15 minutes of running." Your engine is shot. Black oil that quick is a good sign that gas is blowing by the rings on the compression/power stroke diluting the oil. "... it rattles pretty loudly..." could be anything from a rod knocking to a messed up Valve train. Those engine only produce about 4 1/2 HP and cutting high grass is not good on them....See MoreGrowing Black Oil Sunflowers
Comments (3)If I were back there (Branford) I'd have the seeds directly in the ground now. If weather was getting in the way of all that I'd germinate in the peat pellets. If weather was STILL in the way I'd put the pellets in cups with dirt once the roots started to get aggressive as the peat has no real nutritive value....See MoreBlack Oil Sunflower Seeds and Perennials
Comments (9)I thought the sunflowers themselves, put out a toxin to prevent other plants around them. This toxin would also be in the seeds. I buy the cheaper striped sunflowers, and the hulls thrown about do make a bare area in spring grass growth. Seeds might also be treated with something, but I had not heard of it. Perhaps you could call a company name on the seed bag. I feed a lot of sunflowers during winter,usually a couple hundred pounds. With the raise in prices (doubled here, now $20 for 50#) I can't afford hulled or even the black oilers. My local birds like the sunflowers and suet I put out. We do have fields with unmowed weeds for birds liking seeds like thistle. With my quantity of seeds used, they make a large pile of hulls. I rake up my hulls come spring, use them in places I don't want growth of weeds or grass....See More1saxman
