Search Results - Grass

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Grass is the common word that generally describes monocotyledonous green plants. The family Poaceae (or Gramineae) are the "true grasses" and include most plants grown as grains, for pasture, and for lawns (turf). They include some more specialised crops such as lemongrass, as well as many ornamental plants. They also include plants often not recognized to be grasses, such as bamboos, maize or some species of weeds called crab grass.

The term grass can refer to family Poaceae, the 'true grasses', or to grass-like plants which includes the Poaceae and typically also the rushes (Juncaceae) and sedges (Cyperaceae), which somewhat resemble grass. Another, more specific, term for the latter group is graminoid.

Grass-like plants are among the most versatile life forms. Plants having grass-like structures have existed for millions of years, providing fodder for Cretaceous dinosaurs, whose fossilized dung (coprolite) contains phytoliths of a variety of grasses that include the ancestors of rice and bamboo.[1] Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, and cold mountain steppes, and are now the most widespread plant type.

Plants of this type were always important to humans. They were cultivated as food for domesticated animals for up to 10,000 years. (See grass fed beef.) They have been used for paper-making since at least 2400 BC. Now they provide the majority of food crops, and have many other uses, such as feeding animals, and for lawns. There are many minor uses, and grasses are familiar to most human cultures.

1. Soil Testing: What to Do Before You Buy Fertilizer
November 18, 2008

Are you curious about why the grass, or perhaps the corn crops, are greener on the other side of the fence? Wonder no more. Simply find a soil testing lab to help you test your fields before you buy your next batch of fertilizer. As any farmer or gardener knows, all land is not created equally. Instead of taking your best guess at what is missing for optimum plant performance, put some science behind your next fertilizer purchase. A soil testing lab helps growers to determine the specific needs of their crops or gardens, which change from season to season. Several nutrients found in ... (read more)

2. What Does The Cross Mean To You
November 18, 2008

As I was cutting the grass, I had and epiphany. As with all epiphany, excluding the sudden appearance of Jehovah, it can be considered pure speculation. Although, I consider it divine inspiration. I was reflecting upon the Bible and it as the inspired word of Jehovah. Next, I wondered what rationale lay behind the desire to misrepresent the teachings of the Bible as is perpetrated by mainstream Christianity. Acts 25:15 and I have hope toward God, which hope these men themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteo... (read more)

November 06, 2008

7. Example of Plants in Wildflower Gardens
November 07, 2008

Many wildflowers will not grow in grass, needing disturbed soil to flourish. Poppies, cornflowers and corn marigolds are examples of these. They are mainly annuals and can be grown from seed in pots and then transplanted or sown directly from seed. Once established they will self sow and then reappear every year. A border can be devoted to them or they can be mixed into a general border. What about woodland plants? There are a number of woodland species that make very attractive planting in shady areas, perhaps under shrubs or trees or perhaps on the sunless side of a house or fence. Most... (read more)

8. The Debate Over the Use of Ironite
November 06, 2008

Ironite is a substance that homeowners can add to the soil of their lawn to make the grass green. However, you do need to know whether your soil does need to have this solution because some grasses are yellow in color and will not turn green no matter what you add to the soil. Before you start using this product, you do need to test the soil to see whether or not it actually does have a deficiency. For example, Kentucky Blue Grass does have a yellowish color, which means it is important to know what you can expect before you even seed the lawn. According to some environmentalists, there a...

9. The myths about weight loss and protein
November 06, 2008

The myths of weight loss and meat There is a myth out there that says meat is bad for your health, that it will raise your cholesterol. Look, for the most part that is true, especially with beef that you buy in your supermarket. But the supermarkets and mass production has given beef a bad name. You see, most of the beef that you buy are all grain fed beef; cows need to be fed with grass. Grass is what cows have been feeding on naturally all their lives, before mass production got in the way. “Real” beef is actually a highly nutritious meal, it has a natural source of omega 3, has...

10. Choosing the right Photographer for your wedding
November 05, 2008

Choosing your Wedding Photography and Video Vendor For starters, you need to decide on a budget, one that is affordable for you. If you want to spend, let's say, about $1800 on your video and $1800 on photography, don't bother interviewing the companies which normally charge $3,200. Even if they were able to put together a package at your price, you could not expect to see the same results as the $3,200 package you viewed. You need to make sure you don't have a personality clash with the photographer. Many brides have no idea just how important this is. Usually the photographer will be... (read more)

11. Your Nose Might Be the Answer
November 03, 2008

Our sense of smell is so vital to our sense of well-being and so important in our connection to the past. The smell of new-mown grass can transport us quickly back to our childhood days when summer vacation was beckoning us. The smell of freshly-baked bread can remind us of Grandma’s house, and the scent of gardenias might take us back to our high school prom and the corsage we wore. One of my daughter’s favorite smells is the gas/oil mixture her dad put in the boat. It reminds her of summertime and vacations at the lake. Aromatherapy, as the name implies, is therapy which uses certain aromas... (read more)

12. Here Is A Method That Is Helping New Managers To Gain More Time
November 03, 2008

How many times have you heard individuals say, “I don’t have time to do that” Hundreds? I meet people everyday who say, “I don’t have time to… ‘write that report’ ‘have discussions with my staff’ ‘take on anything else’ ‘play golf’ ‘cut the grass’ ‘wash the car’ You hear it all the time, don’t you? I bet you say it. I know I do sometimes. Well, in my experience and in the majority of cases, it is not “I don’t have time”, it is more like “it’s not a priority”, “I would rather do this instead”, or they do not have the passion for the task. Let me share a story. Our family dog, Sam is ... (read more)

13. The Golf Pitching Tip
November 03, 2008

A golf pitching shot will help you over some sort of obstacle such as long grass, sand, or water between you and the hole. You can use a pitching wedge, sand wedge, or a 9-iron each of which will fly the ball a different height and have a different amount of roll afterward. If you are able to use more than one club to hit a pitch shot, you certainly more chances to be successful. Therefore, golf pitching shot is about using a golf club with the right loft at the correct time because many golfers tend to make the mistake of using the wrong loft at the wrong time.

14. The Importance of Grass in a Garden
November 03, 2008

Grass and hard surfaces have an important role to play in informal gardens. In many cases, such a garden will be a family one and grass has the obvious importance as a play area. But grass and surfaces also have a visual importance. If the whole garden is filled with flowering plants, the eye becomes restless, there is too much to see. An expanse of grass gives the eye a chance to rest and acts as a foil to the liveliness of the borders. The edge of grass, paving or path also acts as a defining limit to the border by creating an edge, which again, is very important visually. Such an ... (read more)

19. Artificial Grass - A Cost Effective Solution
October 27, 2008

Previously, when people wanted a replacement for natural grass, they had very few options. Either they could make their yard into a great big rock garden, or they could use artificial grass. In earlier days, though, the only kind of artificial grass you could find was the cheap, phony looking variety used at miniature golf courses. This is no longer the case, as there are huge varieties of artificial grasses available for people who choose to go with this alternative. Most of all, synthetic grass will spare you a great deal of time and effort. With real grass, one must put in seemingly endl... (read more)
