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 />

Hydro-Blanket BFM is a fully biodegradable, Bonded Fiber Matrix<br />

an intimate bond with the soil surface to create a continuous,<br />

allows for rapid germination and accelerated plant<br />

proprietary cross-linked, hydro-colloidal tackifiers<br />
and activators.<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 />
