Fall Is A Great Time To Seed Your Lawn.

Fall is a great time to seed your lawn for next year. Whether you are over seeding an existing lawn or seeding a new lawn; four elements must be working together in order to establish newly planted turf grass seed. Just follow some of these tips.
Establishing a new seeding:
Loosen the soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches with a roto tiller or tillage implement.
Spread the seed in at least two different directions at right angle to the first pass.
Lightly rake to seed to incorporate the seed to a ¼ to ½ inch depth. Care must be given to mix the soil and not to "drag" soil.
Roll the area to increase seed to soil contact.
Overseeding:
Mow the lawn as short as possible to the point of scalping.
Deep Core Aeration so that you achieve 15 to 20 holes per square foot.
Broadcast and/or slit seed mixture in two different directions
Apply Starter Fertilizer
Roll the area to increase seed to soil contact.
A great grass seed to use is No Mow/Low Grow

New "Green" Product Mimics Nature and Cleans the Water.

Bio Floating Islands is one of the most exciting new concepts in efforts to “Go Green.” These Islands mimic nature in many ways. They are being used to add land mass, provide food for fish, grow vegetables, afford wildlife with a habitat and all the while cleaning the water!

With storm water management being a requirement of new developments, these islands can contribute greatly to the removal of unwanted and overloaded nutrients in ponds and other bodies of water as well as adding beauty and fish habitat.

Ion Exchange Inc. has been a leader in the Green life since its inception with native plants and seeds. They are planning on holding seminars in the late fall on successful techniques in construction and launching of these floating islands.
