...thumb|right|Cut grassthumb|180px|right| setaceum flowers.]Grasses, or more technically graminoids, are monocotyledonous, usually herbaceous plants with narrow leaves growing from the base. They include the "true grasses", of the Poaceae (or Gramineae) family, as well as the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf). True grasses, sedges and rushes also form pasture for livestock; a few sedges are used directly as food, such as water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis), or paper: the papyrus sedge (Cyperus papyrus).

Grass???????????
I just moved and we have been
working on the yard. We had it
flattened so now we dont have
any Grass. I need to put some
down and there are alot to
choose from. My soil isnt that
great though. So I need
something that will pretty
much grow anywhere. Anybody
have any ideas on what kind I
need?

It will depend on a lot of things, including what part of the country you're in, how much sun or shade is in your yard, how much you want to water, whether you're looking for coarse or fine bladed grass... Your best bet will be to talk to someone local (like a plant nursery or a landscaping service) who knows the weather and soil conditions in your area and can make an educated recommendation. |

How to restore a centerpede My front yard is centerpede
grass which has not been cared
for a long time. The grass is
thinning, and many spots
dying. Right now it is very
dried and brown (as it should
be because it's just early
spring). My question is how to
restore this grass? I want to
buy centerpede grass seed and
and re-seed the lawn but how
do I do it? Just spray the
seed over the old grass or do
I have to till and rake the
lawn up before apply the grass
seed? Thank for your help.

Here's a good source of information: http://www.centipedegrass.com/ maintenance/index.html http://www.centipedegrass.com/ seeding/seeding-existing.html http://www.american-lawns.com/ grasses/centipede.html To re-seed, you will need to thoroughly rake the bare spots. Tilling shouldn't be necessary The jist seems to be - keep it watered, don't cut too short and don't overfertilize. The last article suggests checking for nematode damage if it is wilting and thinning out. I lived in Georgia for a while and overseeded a fescue lawn with centipede seed. Seemed to take longer to germinate than most other grasses, but patience paid off. |

Grass it taking over my flower Apparantly the home builder
that I bought my house from
did not put down some kind of
weed or grass guard underneath
the soil where my flowers and
hedges are. Now grass is
completelly taking over the
bed. It looks terrible, I pull
it often but it grows so fast
I cant keep up with it. I
heard using a grass/weed
killer in your flower bed will
kill your shrubs, hedges, and
flowers too. Is there any help
for me?

They make specially designed grass killer that won't hurt your shrubs, hedges and flowers. Just look on the bottle and it should say if it is safe to use around other plants without killing them. They have them pretty much anywhere. |
