Sights on Seeding Tischer’s Take Randy Tischer, President - Green Velvet Sod Farms Grass seed availability for the first half of 2016 should be no problem for all landscape mixtures. Prices have remained stable for Bluegrass, Fine Fescue and Perennial Ryegrass varieties, and have been reduced for most Tall Fescue blends and mixtures! The grass seed shortages that you may be hearing about revolve around the very elite varieties of Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue. Availability of “Sod Quality” top of the line varieties, free of all “problem” weeds and grasses such as Poa Annua and Poa Trivialis, are very difficult if not impossible to find today. Why? Grass seed production in the Western States of Oregon, Washington and Idaho is under severe pressure from competing crops for the use of this valuable farmland. Farmers in these states are finding alternative crops to grow on their land, such as hazelnuts, that are much more profitable to grow than grass seed. Couple this with the fact that many of the top grass varieties are not the best seed producers, and you have a shortage of many top quality elite grass seed varieties in the marketplace. So long as you are flexible with regard to the seed varieties you use in your favorite blends and mixtures there will be plenty of seed for all of your landscape projects this spring and summer! Green Velvet saw coming the shortage of top varieties and has secured enough of these quality varieties for all of our blends and mixtures, all at very competitive pricing! Don’t plant tomorrow’s problems today! Insist on Green Velvet grass seed with our exclusive Poa Free Guarantee.

POA FREE GUARANTEE Twice the coverage of standard sprayable mulch! New Hydro Blanket BFM sprays on as mulch, but dries to form a breathable blanket that bonds more completely with the soil. Hydro-Blanket BFM is a fully biodegradable, Bonded Fiber Matrix (BFM) composed of 100% recycled Thermally Refined wood fibers and naturally derived biopolymers. The BFM may require a 24-48 hour curing period to achieve maximum performance. The BFM is phytosanitized, free from plastic netting, and when cured forms an intimate bond with the soil surface to create a continuous, porous, absorbent and flexible erosion resistant blanket that allows for rapid germination and accelerated plant growth. Anchors intimately to the soil through proprietary cross-linked, hydro-colloidal tackifiers and activators.
