how far apart should you plat the seedlings if you want to get a good thick rug?

We planted ours about 18" apart based on what our existing older junipers were planted at our new house. It leaves space between them so probably 12" if you want a rug.

It is recommended that you space them 4-6 feet apart but I spaced mine a little closer, maybe 3 feet, so that the area will fill in a little quicker. For the first 2 or 3 years, I mulched around mine but eventually the green foliage took over and I didn't need to mulch.

I have mine in large pots and they are doing well. Out of the soil I'd say about 4', maybe they'll grow another foot or two but I don't expect more than that. At least not in the pots.

I believe I went 3/4". Sorry to recall, I am on the road for work. Best way is to lay them on the floor and move the right panel until it looks best at that distance (to the center panel). Measure and use the same distance for both sides. (There may be some variance from set to set)?

I would use at least two lengths, one for each row or a longer length to zig-zag down the bed past the bases of spaced plants.

I did a 10"x40" section. I turned the soil over with a cultivator and spread grass seed. I covered it with landscape fabric and seeded it again (maybe not necessary) but I got good results. Do not be in a hurry to remove fabric because the new grass will come right out with it. John F

I put it within 8-12 inches. But, it depends on the type of plant and how many plants.

I agree with Janet, three feet from the base is good but break two spikes in half and place one in each quadrant around the tree. A little tap with the hammer in the palm of your hand or on the grass and they break easily. The roots will be established by the time they reach the fertilized area this year.

You'll have plenty in one purchase for that. I do 8" rounds for people and chickens and still have half a bag after several uses. The seed and roots spread out quite a bit, I use a heaping table spoon for the 8"round and by the time the sprouts are four inches tall the roots are an inch high in the container and everything is so green, you'll wish your lawn looked that good.

The germination rate is great so if you plant them 6 to 8 inches apart, you don't have to worry about gaps. They are so robust that I think you'd be OK broadcasting them.

I keep 3-4 inches over growing plants without stress. I would recommend 8+ inches over seedlings.

I'd say start with 4" diameter...you can always transfer them if they grow too large.

More depth is always better, up till about a foot (these plants are not that large, and I think this is about where max root depth would be.) Larger pots also contain more water, so you have to ask yourself how often does it rain or do I want to water them? I used 5 inches for horizontal spacing. Got a decent number of berries.

If you use the planters full height, the soil you add to it will smother the grass; you don't need to put any liner under it. In fact, you don't want to, so the plants can grow as deep as they want. However, if the soil the grass is in is heavily compacted, it would not be a bad idea to loosen it up a bit. I actually made 6 planters out of 3 by cutting the vertical posts in half; but I tilled up the soil where I was setting the planters down about a foot. Since mine are not very high off the ground, I get grass growing in them just from being near the lawn; along with the usual weeds. You should not have that problem if you keep them at full height.

Spread width is very much a factor of the type of material and speed. Typically I probably assume roughly 20' spread width in open field areas with typical granular lime or fertilizer and moderate speed. If I slow it down I can probably get down to about a 10 feet spreading width. The seed won't run as far as the lime and fertilizer. I have been very satisfied with this unit, especially the stability on uneven or sloping land, where some other less stable units would tend to turn over.

if I have gentle hands, take 6 paper towles, wet 4 of them stacked ontop of eachother, with a sharpie make an 1/8 in square grid on them. Now wet them down, not dripping but thuroghly damp. Put aprox. 3-5 seeds in.each square. Takr remaining paper towels, wet them.and put them over grided seeds. Now put them I'm 1gal ziplock, zip shut and put in a relatively cool dark place. After about 5 days CAREFULLY use tweezers to transplant the their permanent place(pot, ground*recommend*) really dont like to be transplanted so be careful.and sure

Hi Lynette, if you must use a 6" pot (I use shallower pots) fill 1/2 with earth place 1/8th cup well soaked seeds (use warm water for 1 hour) that you drained and don't worry about overlap they seem to sort themselves out once roots spread; only cover with a light sprinkling of earth, place in a dark place for 2-3 days until they sprout, then place under a florescent or full spectrum light bulb. Good luck, my cat is thrilled and comes by 1-2x a day to be fed. I can't leave the pots for him to nibble alone, he would pull out the entire bed of sprouts and make a mess, so I feed him a couple at a time. You can tell I'm retired;-) Hi Lynette, if you must use a 6" pot (I use shallower pots) fill 1/2 with earth place 1/8th cup well soaked seeds (use warm water for 1 hour) that you drained and don't worry about overlap they seem to sort themselves out once roots spread; only cover with a light sprinkling of earth, place in a dark place for 2-3 days until they sprout, then place under a florescent or full spectrum light bulb.

I leave plants until they have multiple roots approximately two inches long. I have not had a plant do poorly.
