diseases such as the Zika virus, it is no<br />

surprise that mosquito services are becoming<br />

more popular. To give you a competitive<br />

advantage in this market, Green Velvet has<br />

assembled several professional solutions<br />

to mosquito control. However, the least<br />

expensive, simplest<br />

solutions involve<br />

good common sense<br />

practices that anyone<br />

can perform around the<br />

house or commercial<br />

buildings!<br />

Sights on Seeding<br />

Tischer’s Take<br />

Randy Tischer,<br />

President - Green Velvet Sod Farms<br />

Grass seed availability for the first half of 2016<br />

should be no problem for all landscape mixtures.<br />

Prices have remained stable for Bluegrass, Fine<br />

Fescue and Perennial Ryegrass varieties, and<br />

have been reduced for most Tall Fescue blends<br />

and mixtures!<br />

The grass seed shortages that you may be<br />

hearing about revolve around the very elite<br />

varieties of Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue.<br />

Availability of “Sod Quality” top of the line<br />

varieties, free of all “problem” weeds and<br />

grasses such as Poa Annua and Poa<br />

Trivialis, are very difficult if not impossible to<br />

find today.<br />

Why? Grass seed production in the<br />

Western States of Oregon, Washington<br />

and Idaho is under severe pressure from<br />

competing crops for the use of this valuable<br />

farmland. Farmers in these states are finding<br />

alternative crops to grow on their land, such<br />

as hazelnuts, that are much more profitable<br />

to grow than grass seed. Couple this with<br />

the fact that many of the top grass varieties<br />

are not the best seed producers, and you<br />

have a shortage of many top quality elite<br />

grass seed varieties in the marketplace.<br />

So long as you are flexible with regard to<br />

the seed varieties you use in your favorite<br />

blends and mixtures there will be plenty<br />

of seed for all of your landscape projects<br />

this spring and summer! Green Velvet saw<br />

coming the shortage of top varieties and has<br />

secured enough of these quality varieties<br />

for all of our blends and mixtures, all at very<br />

competitive pricing!<br />

Don’t plant tomorrow’s problems<br />

today! Insist on Green Velvet grass<br />

seed with our exclusive Poa Free Guarantee.<br />

Humic Solutions for your Plants and — Yes, they Really Work!<br />

Humic DG and Apex-10<br />

As Green Velvet celebrates its 57th year<br />

growing turfgrass, we have seen all sorts of<br />

“miracle products” all proclaiming to grow your<br />

turf faster, better, and healthier! For the most<br />

part, we could never see where these products<br />

ever worked ... perhaps the words “expensive<br />

pig slop” defined our opinions of most of these<br />

products … until we tried humic substances.<br />

When you are a sod producer, and the roots<br />

of your grass have not developed to the point<br />

where they hold the sod together enough to<br />

harvest the sod without it falling apart as you<br />

harvest it, you will try anything to develop<br />

roots quickly. Green Velvet had been hearing<br />

about the new “humic substances” entering<br />

the market, and tested them out. Much to<br />

our amazement, we were able to harvest<br />

the treated sod 2-3 months earlier than the<br />

untreated turf – proving that these products do<br />

indeed enhance root growth! But as an added<br />

benefit, we also noticed improved turf quality<br />

and color, superior stress tolerance, and less<br />

wilting in drought conditions.<br />

We have since learned that humic substances<br />

provide these benefits on not only turf, but<br />

almost every plant! If you want your flowers on<br />

your deck to bloom like never before, or your<br />

Spreading Humic DG on our production farm this Spring.<br />

garden to produce vegetables like there is no<br />

tomorrow – put them on a humic substances<br />

program too!<br />

Green Velvet has two Humic Substance<br />

solutions for<br />

you – one liquid<br />

for sprayable<br />

applications –<br />

“Apex 10”, and<br />

one Granular for<br />

dry applications<br />
