Hi droogie6655321 You should be able to expect germination in as little as 4 or 5 days & possibly as much as 10 to 14 days depending on conditions. Hopefully you rolled the seed (with a rented water fillable roller) to get good seed-to-soil contact. If it's a small area, just walk all over it. I plan to keep the ground moist over the next week or so Yes, moist. Not wet. If you see puddles, it's too much water. Also, keeping the soil moist should be maintained until germination, then you can begin to back off on watering to say, once a day for about a week, then every other day, then twice a week, then once a week. Often it's thought that lawns don't really need to be watered regularly, but I want to caution you that you'll need to really baby this grass this year. In fact, this is about the worst time of year to seed a cool season grass in Oklahoma, as the new TTTF seedlings you sowed will have a very difficult time making it through the heat of summer. Some will, but expect that likely at least half or more won't. No biggie though! The really best time to overseed this stuff is right after the heat of summer breaks, so be ready to overseed again in fall to get yourself a good stand of turf for next summer's heat. Also know that you'll have quite a bit of weeds germinating as well as your grass since you're creating those good germinating conditions, but that goes hand in hand with starting new turfgrass. Concentrate on getting a good stand of grass this year, then this fall & next spring you can begin using pre-emergents to reduce germination of annual weeds. If you don't already own a Weed Hound, I'd strongly suggest purchasing one, they're about $20 at HD or Lowes, and you can pull weeds root & all as fast as you can step on 'em! As far as fertilizers, the best pre-seeding fertilizer to use is alfalfa pellets. They contain trianconatol, a natural fatty-acid growth stimulant. This is good to use for new grassplants/seedlings because they encourage root growth. Apply at 15-20lbs per 1000sqft. Then water it in. (Preferrably 2 weeks before seeding.) Once the lawn gets established, I think soybean meal is the best to use. Soybean meal has a high (47%) protein content, so less material is needed to provide the lawn with 1lb of N per 1000sqft. (The typical application rate for most chemical synthetic fertilizers is 1lb N per 1000sqft) The typical NPK analysis for soybean meal would be 7-2-1. It's my grain of choice because I get the most "bang for my buck" from it. I use a 50lb bag of it on my approx 3500sqft lawn (14lbs/1000sqft.) every 4 weeks. (My lawn is bermuda, a very heavy feeder.) I hope my 2 cents helps some. Good day, Dan

Open XL and Word. In XL click and hold the left mouse button down on the first needed name in column A, drag down to highlight all those needed and release the mouse. Right click anywhere on the highlighted list and click Copy. Bring up Word and have the cursor where you want the list to start if other than the top left corner, right click and click Paste. Done. This is with Office 2007, if it does not work for you be sure to include the version you are using.

Black Walnut is more affordable than you might imagine. I found Hurst Hardwoods has a pretty darn good price on it. I got a sample of it, but settled on quartersawn white oak instead. There is no advantage to using random widths, other than the look. It does look really nice!!! If you want more stability, consider quartersawn walnut. Quartersawn boards are much more dimensionally stable and more resistant to cupping, although they do cost more. Here is a link that might be useful: hurst hardwoods

Use seed, You must remove the seed from the flesh , soak overnight and clean the seed - wash all flesh off, always use the freshest seed you can get. I have had varied results but always get some up - just plant in pots in standard new potting mix, a little apart but as many as you like in the pot. When they germinate wait until there are at least for leaves then gently squeeze the pot and carefully ease the plants out and pot into their own small deep container. Do not tip out the pot as there may be more still to germinate. Germination should take from less than a month to 3,4 months or more it depends on the temp.
