Centipede Grass (Eremochloa ophiuroides) was introduced into the United States from seed found in the baggage of Frank Meyer, a USDA plant explorer who disappeared on his fourth trip to China in 1916. It was initially used for low-maintenance cemeteries and eventually for lawns, during and after the Great Depression, and is sometimes referred to as "lazy man's grass," or "poor man's grass."

Adaptation

Hancock's Centipede Grass Seed is very popular for home lawns in the Southeastern United States, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Coated Seed vs Raw Seed

Coated seed contains a clay-based surrounding shell that increases moisture retention and helps to reduce insect or fowl consumption. Coated seed contains approximately 50% coating weight, or inert weight, per pound of seed. Coated Centipede Seed is also easier to see after it is applied. Raw seed is pure, raw seed just like it sounds. Raw features no fillers, coatings or treatments.

For new lawns, seed Hancock's Centipede Grass Seed any time it can be prepared, except in late summer. Planting in Florida should be accomplished no later than the end of August due to the chance of frost damage to young seedlings. Early Spring plantings should include 1-2 lbs. of Winter Rye Grass as a cover grass per 1000 sq. ft.

Prepare the seedbed by tilling the soil. Remove existing grass and debris. Apply 10-15 lbs. of a complete fertilizer per 1,000 sq. Do not use a weed-and-feed fertilizer product! Distribute seed evenly over soil surface by using a cyclone-type spreader. Mix with sand for best results and even distribution. Plant by raking the seed into the soil to a depth of no more than 1/2 in. Keep the seedbed moist constantly for two to three weeks after planting. Hancock's Coated Centipede Grass Seed should germinate in 2 to 3 weeks. After germination, water only as needed.

Maintain your lawn by mowing at 1.5 to 2 in. in height. Cut no more than 1/3 of the leaf off during one mowing. Use sharp mower blades.

Fertilizer should be applied to Hancock's Centipede Grass in 1 to 3 applications, from spring green-up through fall. Do not apply nitrogen too early in the growing season (particularly in north Florida) or subsequent frosts may damage the grass. Likewise, don't fertilize too late in the year, as this can slow regrowth the following Spring. If applying water-soluble fertilizers at the lower application rate, it will take more applications to apply the total amount of fertilizer needed for the year than if applying a slow-release fertilizer form.

Depending on the existing vegetation, seed rates should be adjusted to fit your specific needs. Higher seed rates will increase coverage on existing lawn applications.

Nice Soap - Not as Gritty or Intense as I was Hoping
This has been a good, but not great soap. I'm happy with it, but will detail some pros and cons for those considering ordering: Pros: - Good size and long lasting (one bar for a month or so). - Good soap texture. This lathers up well, rinses off easily, and leaves your skin feeling moisturized. - Good scent. - Good texture. Cons: - Scent is not as strong as I'd like. Not a big issue, but my personal preference would be to have the scent be a bit stronger and linger after use. - Texture is okay. You can feel the leaves in the soap, but it's in now way exfoliating. I hope this review is helpful! Rating System: 5 Star: Meets or exceeds all expectations; glad to have ordered! ****4 Star: Meets expectations with only a minor issue**** 3 Star: Below expectations with significant issue(s) or poor item description 2 Star: Significant quality issues - very disappointed with order 1 Star: Cannot recommend purchasing under any condition

Amazing Bar Soap!
Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I am so pleased with my purchase of this soap! Not only does it have natural ingredients that are good for the skin, but it works better than most real soaps I’ve ever tried! It is very moisturizing, yet doesn’t leave a film behind and rinses off quickly and cleanly. It has really calmed down my extremely sensitive skin even more so than dermatologist recommended body washes and soap. It seems like a lot of dermatologists recommend non-soap products as being more comforting to sensitive skin. However,, I have found that old-fashioned soap that undergoes saponification tend to be gentler to my skin and less prone to causing dry skin and a compromised skin barrier. Amongst the real soaps there is of course variation in performance depending on the types of oils and additives they use. This soap has the perfect blend of oils and additives that create a super sudsy and moisturizing bar of soap. The scent is very light, but it has the perfect amount where you can smell the soap ingredients a bit mixed with the perfect amount of scent. The scents are very addicting and I randomly enjoy just smelling the bar because they smell that good. If you’re on the fence about this soap, just give it a try. I have been very pleased with it and will definitely purchase it again. A very fair price for the quality you’re getting.

Decent & Natural
Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
The soaps all smell good and unique, however the scents aren’t very potent, and some seem to vary more than others in the olfactory department. I started with the army soap, but I’m not sure whether they use natural coloring or not, but it apparently sheds some green in the shower. Overall, I’d say they are high quality and natural, but they’re a bit steep in price. I would recommend them if you can get them on sale at some point.
